Conspiracy filmmaker-turned-political strategist Michael Moore is touting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party's star presidential candidate in 2008, saying that women in America would turn out in droves to vote her back into the White House.
In quotes first reported by California's Santa Monica Mirror, Moore told Democrats gathered last week at a Pacific Palisades home, "Hillary is a star. She walks into a room and it lights up."

Saying his party needed to nominate "a candidate people want to watch," Moore contended that Clinton would be hugely popular with female voters, especially single-moms. "Poor, disenfranchised, single moms - they will come out to vote if they believe their life will be better," Moore predicted. "Dont give them a candidate with a confusing message."
The single-mom vote is critical to the party's success in 2008, he said, because they make up a disproportionate percentage of the 70 million people who did not vote in 2004.
The conspiracy filmmaker does have one problem with a Clinton candidacy, however, complaining that shes been hawkish on the war in Iraq.

Who cares? By the time the '08 campaign starts, Billory will most likely be disgraced by something else she's done and Moore will have exploded sue to excessive eating.
I'm fully savoring '04 for the next 3 years.

Well, here's an early kiss of death for the Hildabeast's presidential aspirations, straight from ol' Pig Dung himself.

Actually this is goog news. Michael Moore hawking Hillary this early is probably something that she really doesn't want. It will likely work against her.

Well... let's encourage Michael Moore to become an official political strategist for the Dems. This will inevitably result in a solid GOP victory in 2008.

This is terrific news.
Michael Moore kills every campaign he touches. The campaigns of both Wesley Clark and John Kerry were destined for the ash heap after MM endorsed them.
He has killed Hillary's campaign in the cradle.

"Poor, disenfranchised, single moms - they will come out to vote if they believe their life will be better," Moore predicted. "Dont give them a candidate with a confusing message." Every time I see this word misused, it reminds me of that episode of the Man Show, where they had a petition to 'End Women's Suffrage'. They had tons of women sign it until someone finally caught on.
Anyway, Hillary! is would be the best candidate ever. For us. There are vast legions of people who are ironclad, unshakable supporters of Hillary!, but twice that number would move heaven and earth to mobilize voters against her.

Fresh from his rousing success with getting Kerry defeated, Moore now looks to doom the chances of Hitlery's 08 coup.
I doubt Hitlery appreciates Moore's efforts on her behalf.

"Poor, disenfranchised, single moms - they will come out to vote if they believe their life will be better,"Hillary certainly is a role model for women. Just look at how well she handled her own marriage...
