Are we past 7 dwarves yet?

Hi-ho!!!!!

Hey, Registered! You're needed!!! This comment simply demands your expertise!

[ChicagoRepublican]

Wow, do the Democrats have anyone to run who are at least good at their profession of politics?

[mhking]

Pinging Mr. Registered -- pinging Mr. Registered to the white courtesy telephone...

[Norman Arbuthnot]

It might be easier to start listing the Dems who aren't planning to run.

Do we know about this guy yet?

[chnsmok]

Anyone for throwing their kitchen sink's hat into the ring?

[Ol' Sox]

"I really, REALLY want to be your President!!!"

[madrastex]

As for any "accidents," the old crone doesn't own the world any more. She's just another junior Senator.....
But, a junior Senator WITH 900 FBI files!!!!

[Amerigomag]

When your opposition begins to stumble .....

Chances are that Gephart will fall onto at least two other princes of the left.

[NeoCaveman]

LOL. Might as well put Hillary's head on Snow White. She'd have never looked that good.

[Timesink]

If Bush appears to be weak in late 04, Hillary will be the savior of the party with a last minute draft. The lackeys will be run off.

This will not happen. Hillary is not supernatural. There is no metaphysical inevitability that Hillary is going to be president.

[doug from upland]

Is she beyond having someone whacked? Or blackmailed?

[PJ-Comix]

Gephardt, Edwards, Kerry, Daschle, Lieberman. This is going to be a fun election.

Add in Al Sharpton and it is HILARIOUS!

[Timesink]

But, a junior Senator WITH 900 FBI files!!!!

Which have been decaying for two years now and become more worthless with each passing day.

You're also assuming all 900 have actual damaging data in them. They don't.

I know Gephardt can be a real jerk in the spirit of extreme partisanship (he hates republicans), and it is true that if he'd been a conservative republican who made that crooked tax claim on the north carolina house, then he'd have had to go to jail; but he does have some good points - in 1981 he strongly supported reagan's tax cut. In the early part of his career he was very strongly pro-life and I think pro-2'nd ammendment also. When he first ran for office in late 1970's he was a conservative across the board.

If elected Gephardt would provide real tax cuts, including both income taxes and payroll taxes (unlike Bush). He would provide modest tariffs to finance them as well (unlike Bush). So, if it was a straight-up choice between Bush and Gephardt, then I'd say Bush would be in trouble because a lot of thinking conservatives will go with gephardt if he merely campaigns for their vote. But if he talks liberal junk in the campaign, then forget it.

Of course, if he looks like he's going to win the democrat nomination and is publicly and strongly promoting an adjustment of New World Order policies, then they'll kill him.

[PJ-Comix]

Please, Al, RUN!

Actually he already formed an Exploratory Committee just like Frankenkerry and the Shyster.

[cynicom]

My mind cannot handle those big words. All I know is I watched at campaign stops in NY. She won and power is the name of the game. Get my dictionary out.

[Timesink]

Is she beyond having someone whacked? Or blackmailed?

Who's going to do it for her? Nobody has to bow to that old bitch any more. I suppose you can make the theoretical argument, but it's no more likely than Bush having someone whacked or blackmailed. (She'd be more likely to TRY, but when it comes to the level of success...)

Technically, no. He is only establishing an exploratory committee, while hoping (along with Harry Browne) that the economy tanks and al Qaeda wins.

[doug from upland]

Do you just think she just had raw FBI files on Republicans?

[Timesink]

She won and power is the name of the game.

She won because 1) It's New York, the 2nd most liberal state in the nation; 2) Giuliani withdrew, and the inept state GOP ran a KID against her.

Half the rest of the nation DESPISES her with a white-hot passion, and the national GOP is not inept.
