  a question for hillary...

  since so much of her experience is based on her husbands presidency...in order to distinguish herself as her own person...

  when did, or does, she differ from her husband and his policies? NAFTA? Don't ask Don't tell? Nation-building?

  What did she do influence him?

  What would she do different from her husband's administration?

  For the record:

  Obama voted against the Republicans' Bankruptcy bill, and Biden voted for it:

  I tried to set up RP on the show by connecting your show with the Ron Paul staff...

  It's not clear to me if non-threshold voters can shift over to other non-threhsold voters at the Iowa caucuses. So for instance if Biden and Dodd are both below the threshold could they get together and support Biden thereby bringing him above the threshold? Thanks.

  ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENT!

  This needs to be a higher priority in the campaigns. Personally, I put it at the top. If the environment is damaged badly enough, including through global warming, none of the other issues is going to matter.

  I want all the candidates to address the issue of farm subsidies. They flood our country with cheap corn that goes into almost everything we eat, which has horrible cascading effects on everything from the environment (monouclture farming with petrochemical fertilizer), to our health (corn fed animals have more fat, they need antibiotics to keep them healthy because corn makes, especially cattle, sick), to animal rights.

  Hey Brian,

  Follow up on Paul Newell's comment above. He is correct, Obama voted against the bankruptcy bill, Biden for it. Clinton did not cast a vote.

  Yes, I was the guy who phoned that question in about Obama and did some research on my own following the call. Apparently this rumor was perpetuated by some liberal blogs/sites about Obama voting for the bill and it's incorrect. Apparently his vote on a provision to the bill was called into question, but he voted against the final bill. I called WNYC with the correction. Not sure if they're going to announce it on the air or not. Hope they do.
