Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's resolve on the campaign trail is truly inspiring. On the trail today she confirmed that she had slept no more than "8 hours in the past four days."
In a brief respite on the way to Rhode Island she disagreed with Sen. Barack Obama, about the effect Ralph Nader would have on the campaign.
"We were just talking a little bit about it. I didn't know that he said that this morning and obviously it's not helpful to whoever our Democratic nominee is," Mrs. Clinton said.
"But it's a free country."
She said she wasn't sure what party banner he would run under, but said his past run on the Green Party ticket hurt America's efforts to building a green economy.
"Well, you know, his being on the Green Party prevented Al Gore from being the greenest president we could have had, and I think that's really unfortunate. I think we paid a big price for it," she said.
On the Obama campaign mailings tirade yesterday …
Mrs. Clinton said her discussion and her passion about it was not scripted.
"I thought they'd stopped. You know, they have been discredited and we called their hand and I thought that it stopped or at least it would have been revised to take into account what was clearly a series of false and misleading statements," she said.
"And so when this woman on the rope line said 'look at what I'm getting,' I was really surprised because I did think they had either changed or stopped.
"I mean, I was personally really offended by that."

Will some journalist please ask the candidate -What on earth was Obama thinking when he chose Zbigniew Brzezinski (ZB ) as one of his foreign policy advisors??? http://www.nysun.com/article/71123
ZB was one of main people responsible for convincing the US govt to arm the mujaheddin.
Zbigniew Brzezinski (ZB) endorsed Obama for presidentt. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con

Lastyear,(ZB) was interviewed in http://www.counterpunch.org/brzezinski.h
tml
During the 1960's and 1970's he (ZB) was so focused on fighting the evil Russian empire that he completely ignored the existence of radical Islamic fundamentalism. He gave poor advice to President Carter. The ramifications of his (ZB)being so blind-sided helped to nurture the evolution and expansion of Osama Bin Ladin's (and others) terrorist groups. In 1998, Brzezinski was interviewed by the French newspaper Nouvel Observateur on the topic of Afghanistan.

Would someone please urge the networks to mention Hillary's endorsement by 27 former generals. This is very important and speaks to her fitness to be Commander-in-Chief on DAY ONE.

Should Hillary return sexual harrasment money?
NBC's Lisa Myers and Jim Popkin, First Read, report that "Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show. The federal government has accused the Illinois management consulting firm, International Profit Associates, or IPA, of a brazen pattern of sexual harassment including "sexual assaults," "degrading anti-female language" and "obscene suggestions." Sen. Clinton's spokesman, Howard Wolfson, told NBC News in a statement that the senator decided to keep the funds because the lawsuit is "ongoing" and because none of the sexual harassment allegations has been proven in court." Should Hillary Clinton Reject and Denounce this money since she is supposed to a Champion of women's rights?
