Good analysis, overall.

He notes the GOP must offer a clear idologicial choice next year so voters know why their voting Republican.

I started this story with skepticism but became a believer. This guy's convinced me that the Dems just might be smart enough to pull back from Hillary and nominate EDWARDS, who is the Kerry of this election cycle--he's not who the base really wants, but he's "electable" without Hillary's negatives or Obama's unpredictability (in terms of if people are ready for such a young black candidate with little record in DC). I also think that while the war is SO unpopular, Americans aren't sure they want to retreat.

It’s too often that the most known candidate going into the primaries also has the highest negatives.

That’s probably why John “Pink Sapphire” Edwards is sticking it out; since he knows how vulnerable Hillary really is, and that the US isn’t ready for a black POTUS, especially one with a Muslim background that can barely find the Senate men’s room yet...

She's (Hillary) the most beatable of the Democrats based on her polarizing nature.

Thats the truth

Thankfully I think the Clinton’s still have enough of a grip on the machinery of that party to get Hillary the nomination.

It’s going to be difficult for him to argue against Hillary on the grounds of electability since he was on the losing Dem ticket in ‘04.

Oh, you mean all those F.B.I. files.

“ ...but I also think that this hasn't jelled in the way Bill and Hillary thought it would.”

A campaign jells around a dynamic entity and Ms Rodham is no dynamic entity... she's merely Rapist42's doppelganger.

Roger, to that.

He’s dead right about fielding a GOP candidate that must be a conservative, with clear ideaological beliefs, so that voters know why they are voting for them.

Fred is like ordering a steak in a steak house.

It’s not ginger infused miso tuna adorned with wasabi lime pear coulis.

It’s steak!

Stone offers a surprising assessment of the political landscape. He says that if Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, the Republicans will see a huge turnout on election day - and will keep the White House

This IS NOT surprising. I've said it non-stop for the last two years. Hitlery, if nominated will set the all-time, never-to-be-broken record for negative turnout.

As much as I’d like to see Hillary lose by a 40-state margin (45-5, we’ll give her NY, MA, IL, and 2 others, and D.C.), I’d rather see her campaign taken down before it got that far. She won’t get the nomination.

I live in South East Florida and thus am a Dolphins fan,
Though I gotta believe the Pats are going to take at the very least the division Again this year if not the whole title.
Moss was a great acquisition if he keeps his act together.

I wonder if Hillary had the foresight to steal Thompson’s F.B.I. files...?

[Hillary] continues to be extremely polarizing. She doesn't test terribly well with centrists who think she's a liberal, with moderates who think she's a liberal, with independents who think she's a liberal, because they tilt conservative. She's very polarizing and thus very beatable.
But which RAT doesn't this apply to? If you think The Beast is a liberal, what do you think of Breck Girl or Hussein, both of whom are claiming much farther-left positions on the issues than The Beast is. And ManBearPig? The nomination of ManBearPig wouldn't bring Republicans out in droves?

The bottom line is, in my opinion, no matter which one of these stinking anti-American traitors the commie-treason party nominates, we will all be out in droves to stop them.
