Hillary is running

I'm going to go way out on a limb today and predict with nearly 100 percent certainty that Hillary Clinton will seek and win the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency in 2004.

I know others have speculated about this.

I'm not speculating. I'm forecasting. I'm prophesying. If I were a betting man, I would be placing the farm on it.

Why am I so sure?

The latest polls bear out what others before them show – the nomination is hers for the asking.

The most recent survey, conducted by Quinnipiac University, shows Clinton getting 43 percent of the vote if she enters the race against the remaining nine Democratic dwarfs. She polls higher than Wesley Clark, Joe Lieberman, Richard Gephardt, John Kerry and Howard Dean combined.

In other words, this would not be a contest if Hillary entered the picture.

That alone must be a very tempting prospect for someone as ambitious as Hillary Rodham.

How many politicians would not seize an opportunity like that?

I don't think she can resist – which explains the way she's talking recently.

She's getting vitriolic against President Bush. She's going postal. She's going ballistic. She's even more shrill than usual.

Last week, just before her high holy day of Halloween, she said "the pillars of democracy are shaking" due to Bush's need to avoid "political embarrassment" over the Sept. 11 terror attacks and the Iraq war.

It was her sharpest attack yet on the president's handling of foreign policy. Clinton suggested Bush was trying to hide troop casualty figures and was using national security as a cover for failures. She said the White House's refusal to hand over documents to the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks "unnecessarily raises suspicions that it has something to hide."

"We must always be vigilant against letting our desire to keep information confidential be used as a pretext for classifying information that is more about political embarrassment," she added for good measure.

I guess she wants an open administration like the one her husband ran.

Clinton said Bush's foreign policy has been marked by an "aggressive unilateralism."

"We now go to war as a first resort against perceived threats, not as a necessary final resort," she said.

But there's one clincher for me. There's one fact that persuades me more than any other that she is running. And that is her consistent denials.

Hillary doesn't know the truth. It is as much a stranger to the junior senator from New York as sunlight is to a vampire.

And, from a practical standpoint, she's still got time. She will need to declare her candidacy soon – this month, in fact – to meet filing deadlines in November and December for the critical early primary elections.

Analysts believe the nominee will be selected, for all intents and purposes, by March 2 – an election night Super Tuesday, with primaries in California, New York, Texas, Ohio and eight smaller states.

But realistically, the race will be over the day Hillary enters the race – and that is coming any day.

Oh, and by the way, Hillary has just managed to get herself scheduled as the featured speaker this month at a major Democratic Party event in Iowa – the location of the first caucuses where delegates are chosen.

So don't be surprised. Remember where you heard it. Hilary is running. She will be the nominee of her party for president in 2004. The rest of the also-rans are merely jockeying for a vice presidential nomination.

With Hillary in the race, it will be as black and white as black and white will ever be.

Hillary or Bush.

There will be no third choices.

TEXAS will never vote for Hillary. I hope she just goes right on and runs. Her haughty attitude will proove her to be the witch she is. Run Hillary Run.... And watch GW Win BIG TIME.

[Aquinasfan]

She's not running this time around because the economy is turning up. She's evil, but not stupid.

[expatpat]

Either that, or a plan to knock off the b*tch first, as soon as he's elected.

[xusafflyer]

As someone pointed earlier..if Rudy runs against her in 2006, she has a very good chance of losing. If she does lose that race, her career is over. The dems are not known for forgiving losers (don't expect Gray Davis to get much help from the Dems now).

She has a choice, can she win now in 2004 against Bush or can she we against Rudy in 2006 and in 2008 against an unknown future opponent?

I believe no to the first 2 and who knows on the last.

[Theodore R.]

Sometimes when she "communes" with the "ghost" of TR's niece, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary must ask, "How can we fool them so easily for so long?" And Eleanor's ghost would say, "Honey, you had good teachers in Franklin and me."

>The Hillary!™ Decade begins

Decade? Hell, if she
runs as VP, that's eight years
with her as VP,

then she runs for boss,
and spends another eight years
in the driver's seat...

That is sixteen years
and she doesn't have to kill
anyone near her

(unless, of course, she
just wants to keep in practice...).
Buckle up. Rough road.

[null and void]

You're trying to make it impossible for me to sleep, aren't you?

[2grit]

She does not possess Bill's hypnotic effect on the mid-left and left-center voters. Her only power is on the far-left. Great for the party nomination, but certain death in the election. At least this is my hope.

[newgeezer]

Hillary will only run if she believes that Bush can only be beaten by her.

You credit her with far too much integrity. She will run if she believes (a) Bush is vulnerable, and (b) she can win the nomination.

If Bush loses to a different Dem, it would force her to stay out until 2012. There's no way she wants to sit around for 8 years, waiting for a Dem incumbent to possibly screw it up so bad that even she can't win the WH for the Dems in '12 (think Carter or even X42).

No, if she thinks she can win, she'll run, regardless of whether any other dwarf has a chance.

[Theodore R.]

black and white . . . no third choices

Well, there may be a "green" choice in Ralph Nader AGAIN. I heard that James Carville does not allow the name "Ralph Nader" uttered in his presence.

[deport]

I'm not speculating. I'm forecasting. I'm prophesying. If I were a betting man, I would be placing the farm on it.

Yep that's how Las Vegas makes it money...... those betting that are positive they can't lose. Nothing is that assured in Politics.... Remember Texas and the Dream Team that was going to win it all for the democrats?

She needs a few more years to give the people time for their memories to fade some more about recent past of her husbands administration....

[Luis Gonzalez]

Ralph's no third choice for anyone that frequents this site however.

[budwiesest]

1) A weak Democrat primary field. So weak that people will practically beg her to get in the race. 2) Continuing bad media from Iraq over the next 2-4 months.

Good points. They've got the 'death-toll-from-Iraq' hammer and will use it (we're seeing caskets now)

Also, the thought of gun grabbing Million Moron Moms heading to the polls will heat things up when the AWB sunset is to occur (did you see video of the lawyer dodging bullets from behind a tree?)

[Normally a Lurker]

She's getting vitriolic against President Bush.

One of my posts in another thread ended up with a double-type of the word "more" (a typo, not for emphasis).

I believe the author of the above article could use that extra work in the above sentence.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

All she needs is some lameass like McMainiac to run third party.

The country is divided. It's very close.

Like an old time gunfighter, she will set herself up with and edge. The sun at her back, a few million stolen votes, some traitorous rogue like McMainiac running third party.

Remember, the Klintons came out of nowhere to run against what should have been an unbeatable GHWBush.

People shouldn't think they are gutless just because they are evil.

[amexmike]

Not unless she has a Ron Brown/Vince Foster emergency plan in mind. She will never give up the top spot.

[Theodore R.]

Well, they are surely not "gutless." They have too much self-confidence to be considered "gutless," don't they? The clintons missed church the day the minister spoke on the topic "man should not think too highly of himself."

[Normally a Lurker]

Would not this announcement have been greatly more appropriate for this past Friday?

That is to say for: Halloween Day

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

I guess the right word for them is "Brazen."

They've gotten away with so much. Doubt if they fear any repercussions.
