Democrats have long wanted a candidate that can win, but is Hillary’s campaign style the only way to take back the White House?

Hillary Clinton’s Ruthless Campaign
By Steven Rosenfeld

Democrats have long complained that they need a presidential candidate who knows how to fight and win.

On Tuesday night, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, flew to Florida for a “victory rally” in a state that was awarding no delegates, because it was penalized by national party officials for holding an unauthorized early primary. Last summer, she and the other candidates pledged not to campaign in the Sunshine State. Still, Clinton held the rally, declaring victory on national television. Millions of people in the 22 states who will vote next Tuesday probably saw her, not knowing the Florida vote was moot. And in Florida, Clinton pledged to seat its delegates at the Democratic National Convention.

“Hillary won the highest turnout Democratic primary in Florida history,” her website gushed, on a page giving daily talking points to supporters. “Hillary received more votes in Florida than Sen. (John) McCain, the winner of the Republican primary. Hillary also received more votes in Florida alone than Sen. (Barack) Obama received in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.”

If Clinton’s boast makes you grimace — she also charged that Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL, was first to break the DNC’s no-campaigning pledge by running a national cable ad that was seen in Florida and by getting good press after winning big in South Carolina — then these brazen moves give a very clear view of Clinton’s leadership style. Regardless of her center-left positions on issues, Hillary Clinton is fighting to win.

In fact, there may be no better illustration of the divide-and-conquer style of politics that Obama seeks to overcome than the tactics of his most aggressive rival, Hillary Clinton.

Sex Offenders To Register Email Addresses

Proposed legislation in New York would protect underage Internet users by creating an email registry of convicted sex offenders. What do you think?

Spencer Rimmer,
Pollster
“Don’t they already have ways to distinguish sex offenders online? Isn’t that what the winking emoticon is for?”

Ben Birtwistle,
Show Salesperson
“Underage kids shouldn’t be on the Internet. They should be outside, enjoying fresh air, and getting into stranger’s vans.”

Lucy Pritchard,
Jewelry Cleaner
“But can’t sex offenders just get new e-mail addresses? Nah, I’m probably just overthinking this.”

Today’s photo of the day shows ignorance at its best. Yes, that’s an iced-out Frosted Flakes box. This is even worse than Sean Kingston’s Crayola box. This is why we ain’t free!!!

Today’s video of the day shows Kwame Kilpatrick’s public apology along with comments from his wife. Thoughts?

Today’s video of the day shows one of the most special and rare moments in music history. At a concert in 1980, James Brown brings Michael Jackson on the stage. After doing his thing for a minute, MJ asks JB to bring Prince on stage! This may be the only time that the three have been performing in the same place at the same time. (And yes, I’ll still take Prince over Michael Jackson any day of the week!)
