As countless talking heads have noted, show me ONE state that Bush won in 2000 or 2004 that Hillary can convert to the Democrat side. Florida pops up as the only possible battleground, with all the retired Blue State NY & NJ folks, but those blue-haired, ex-Manhattanite grandmas and grandpas weren't anywhere near enough to give Kerry the state, and I don't see Hillary doing much better.

I'd like to see the Toons subpoenaed in the Oil For Food investigation.

Hillary Rodham Clinton faces a problem that has dogged her since her days as first lady: an entrenched bloc of voters who simply do not like her.

A "bloc" being defined as "anyone with a pulse."

No one factor accounts for the deep misgivings many voters express for Clinton

There is a single factor: She is a Communist.

Hopefully, the Republicans will be able to recruit a viable candidate to run against her for Senate. If she loses that race, it would seriously cripple any intent that she has to run for President. One lesson that the Republicans need to learn, however, is that we can't just keep bringing up the old scandals. We don't have to ignore them, but we need to demonstrate how, on policy, she is out of step with the rest of America. If there is one lesson that we should have learned from the the Clinton Presidential election of 1996 and the just recently passed election, it is that you can't just campaign on hatred of the other candidate. You need a positive agenda and you need to consistenly and rationally point out how the other person is totally out of step with the accomplishment of that agenda.

She can win the Senate seat back easily, as the RINO New York GOP, led by the feckless, inept dunce Pataki and RINO prince Gloomberg, will probably recruit the Nassuau County assistant to the assistant Deputy Dog Catcher to run against her. Just witness the folly of Mills v. Schumer, and other embarassments that Pataki & Co. have fathered. Hilary is a shoo-in in 2006.

I don't hate Hillary. It's just that her presidency would be a fascistic disaster for this nation.

Depends on who she runs against... Rudi still hasn't publicly said what he's doing over the next 4 years.

"There's work for her to do nationally," Marist Institute director Lee Miringoff says. "Beyond her appeal to the Democratic base, there is a need for her to build bridges to reach out to moderate Republicans and independent voters if she hopes to succeed."

This is why Senator Clinton is likely to lead many House and Senate Democrats in the fight against various GOP plans to legalize illegal aliens.

"BADGE OF HONOR ALERT !!!"

There is a pretty cool story behind her calling me an asshole if you would like to hear it. To quote her fully, she was walking by, stopped, pointed at me and said, "There is that asshole again!"

Geez, what a gracious former first lady /sarcasm off

But like I said, I would wear that title as a badge of honor --- much preferable to having her call you "her good friend, speed_addiction

I don't like Hillary Clinton. Let the Democrats nominate someone good, like Evan Bayh, Tom Daschle or John Edwards.

Tom Daschle good? John Edwards good?

The electorate is polarized into 2 camps: The Informed Voter and the Uninformed Voter. I suggest most of the support for Hillary comes from the latter group, hence their inability to understand why we don't love Evita.

"We have a president who is quite polarising, and very successful, I might add"

Oh my gosh. . .Hitlery COMPLIMENTED George Bush? Will wonders never cease. (Or is this just another of her ploys to 'remake' her image in preparation for '08?)
