In both theory and great expectations, Tuesday is the beginning of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. By nightfall, she will have won a lopsided re-election to the U.S. Senate, with plenty of money left over to start a presidential effort. She enjoys the sort of name recognition a president might envy and has the unalloyed good wishes of Democratic activists who have been waiting all these dark and awful years for a Clinton Restoration. After all, if the Bushes could do it -- one mediocre, the other incompetent -- then why not the brilliant and dazzling Clintons? The answer might be Hillary herself. She can bore a grateful nation.
Such, anyway, was the effect of her recent appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. The anticipation was great. The crowd was huge and the fact that Clinton had agreed to speak to this august body meant -- it had to mean -- that she was at last going to say something thumping about Iraq. Instead, she delivered a no-news address lacking controversy, fresh approaches or even a single soaring sentence. She proved herself fit for the Senate but, not on that afternoon anyway, a presidential candidate.
If one sparrow does not make a spring, then one speech is not a campaign -- nor, maybe, was it typical of what's to come. But those of us who have heard Clinton before, who covered portions of her 2000 Senate campaign, were reminded that she can be industrially dull, so cautious that nothing comes out of her mouth except bromides. In his book about Hillary and her 2000 campaign ("Hillary's Turn''), Michael Tomasky dubbed her "The Laundry Lady'' for the numbing numbers of little programs she would somehow implement if elected.

Now, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!!
Aint dun been nowed 'bout that.
She also has negatives more appropriate for a lame duck two term President with some scandals and she hasn't even been elected President. Negatives are hard to change - I dont think she will ever be President.
Hillary/Osama, er.. Obama in '08.
The democrats will use Obama instead.
Obama is pure hype. He'll fold like a pup tent when the crunch comes. Keep your eye on Evan Bayh for 08'.
This thread's for you!
Hit it!!!!

I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say, 'We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!'"
I think you are right. Plus he's more liberal than Hillary. That's pretty darn liberal.
I was looking forward to a long, bloody knife fight between hillary and kerry, but that dumbass already cut his own throat.
Kerry will still run though. Remember he's a dumbass but an arrogant one. Plus there's always Gore as a possible contender. That would be fun to watch too.

"We could give it all back to you and hope you spend it right... But ... if you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen. In 2013 -- that's just 14 years away -- taxes people pay on their payroll for Social Security will no longer cover the monthly checks... I want every parent here to look at the young people here, and ask yourself, 'Do you really want to run the risk of squandering this surplus?' "

"We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
The Bush Presidents..."one mediocre, the other incompetent". That sort of B.S. really totally infuriates me. Bill Clinton was mediocre AND incompetent!! And she is too! (And boring besides, at least they got that right)
Haven't they already got Obama on the run trying to explain some very shady real-estate deals he's made. One in particular that's associated with some felon or other? I've seen posts on it..
Ha! Here it is... Obama on Rezko deal: It was a mistake (Barack done after election)
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama expressed regret late Friday for his 2005 land purchase from now-indicted political fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko in a deal that enlarged the senator’s yard.
“I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it,” Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times in an exclusive and revealing question-and-answer exchange about the transaction.

TOP 10 REASONS TO DUMP HILLARY CLINTON ON NOVEMBER 7
(And she thinks New Yorkers should return her to office why?)
FACTORING HILLARY
Maybe the repub base isn't energized for this election(2006). But once the antiChrist, Mrs. Clinton) anounces her true presidential intentions you ain't seen a mobilized base like the one you will see.
a big target will be on her big skanky ass and everyone will be lining up to kick it.
The difference between Obama and Hitlery is Obama can still be groomed like Kennedy in 58'. Hillery has way too much baggage with Bubba, Vince, Arkincide, etc. The press is in love with Obama since he has not done anything that can be construed negative. Given he has only given one major speech, he won't bore us into oblivion.
But THEN we'd be told to ignore the man behind the curtain!
Gee, Richard, you're just figuring this out??? Enjoy having Hillary lead your party to ruin for the next 2 years.
The aspects Cohen finds lacking in the Hildabeast are precisely those that the Rats continually misunderestimate in George W. Bush.
When he rolls up his sleeves and goes out on the stump, you know he's going to deliver a knock-out punch. And you know you're going to remember what he said and how he said it.
Yet the Left persists in its delusion that W is dumb and MRS BILL CLINTON is politically brilliant.
We shall see, we shall see.
I just wished the people of the Country of United States of New York would vote her out of office...
And then no one would vote if and when she runs for POTUS, and we could rid our United States of America of the slimy sickness that is crawling in all the lakes, streams, ponds, rivers, oceans that carry the klinton virus....
If we could rid ourselves of this dreadful virus, klintoons, we could help America get well again....
VOTE REPUBLICAN ONLY!!!!

The dirty little secret is that if the husband were not a rapist with a semblance of style--i.e., the Tina-Brown/Nina Burleigh fantasy incarnate, The Left would see that he, too, is excruciatingly dull.

That's what I have been saying too. Hillary doesn't need a black or hispanic running mate for the votes of those groups. She needs a midwestern All-American family guy type who will help with the married white vote. Evan Bayh fits the type. Being from neighboring Indiana could help flip Ohio's 2008 vote to the blue column.
My Entire family relatons on all sides, including myself, STOMPED Glass getting to the Voting Booths this morning!!!!
ALL Voted STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET, Yes to ALL Tax Exemptions, NO to ALL TAX Increases!!!!
Ya'll Get out there and VOTE!!!!

Hillary-the-person isn't running. The idea of hillary is, the idea of hillary as put out on a daily basis by all manner of proxy, from simple spinner to elaborate Hollywood production.
