GEFFEN UNLOADS ON HILLARY: 'SHE CAN'T WIN'
Thu Feb 17 2005 23:13:00 ET

Sen. Hillary Clinton should not count on help from Hollywood mogul David Geffen in her possible run for the White House.

Geffen, who was a generous supporter and pal of Bill Clinton when he was president, trashed Hillary's prospects last night during a Q&A at the 92nd St. Y in New York City.

"She can't win, and she's an incredibly polarizing figure," the billionaire Democrat told his audience. "And ambition is just not a good enough reason."

Lloyd Grove reports in fresh editions of the NY DAILY NEWS the audience broke with "hearty applause" over Geffen's comments.

Ambition is not a good enough reason? Is he saying he didn't support John Kerry???

" I think we are beginning to see the very first effects of Howard Dean as DNC Chairman."

Dean and the bloggers are the two biggest road blocks to Hillarys ambition. How did the Clintons ever allow him to take over the DNC?

I really think Hillary will have a hard time playing outside major liberal states.

She could never prevail with those tactics in a national election and she sure couldn't weather the scrutiny.

Who, in your estimation, would be bold enough to confront her?

"Ambition is not enough"?? You mean the socialist and communists aren't going to look the other way when she espouses American Values??

Re: post #51. Good one.

There is not one GOP name in circulation that can compete with Hillary Clinton for '08.

The right will have to go with a celebrity, if she runs, to counter her 'name' recognition. I'd suggest nominating someone like Tom Sellek (sp?) whose experience with that fat tard Rosie O'donnel indicates he's very pro-gun and might be right-leaning on other issues as well.

Added bonus: that "slammed-shut" sound would be the 'arousal gap' closing very quickly on the pantsuit pignoid.

I think they're just ticked off at Hitlery because she is doing the Skerry motto on the abortion deal! They'll soften to her as soon as the mediaWHORES started lavishing her with an onslaught of positive ratings on her. DON'T under any circumstance UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE EVIL DEMONIC COUPLE!

Not if she gets the votes of convicted felons, which as we type she is trying to get their voting rights restored. The liberals hold the playbook and are writing the rules of the game. Forget Condi. Her new tag is Condelezza-lies-a-lot. (Catchy, huh?) But to most of the public, that's all it takes to discount a great person. The RNC can't attack her or her record, (the great right-wing conspiracy) and America Loves an Underdog. We need a strong Underdog and then make HER attack.

She just doesn't have that same ole zip she use too...Must be saddle sores from the broom stick.

And look at her hand gesture!

Do you think she's a Wicca??

What about Condi and John Cornyn from Texas as the top ticket? I am really starting to like Cornyn as he took Harry Reid out to the woodshed on the dems voting record...He's got pluck and if he goes in as Veep in -08, he could line up for '16...I definitely see Condi as THE contender against Hillary...

Hildabeast thinks she has hidden her tracks. Wait until 2006...all her evil deeds will start coming out. They'll not be anything that will stop it...not even the FBI files she has on soooo many. SHE'S TOAST!!!

Personally after years of watching Bill and Hillry, this may just be an attempt to seduce the turned of middle of the roaders. Have a perverted corrupt liberal Hollywood turn against the newly Bible toting, misquoting religious act could well be what is at play.

These liberals will support whom ever gets the nomination. The clintons never leave anything to chance, imagine what would happen if the Republicans who now control both Houses would suggest that they repeal that amendment preventing more than 2 terms. bill against hillry!

Running Woman vs Woman might be a bad strategy.

Hillary is the Supreme B-itchy Mama,
and most people hate her for that alone.

If you run two women, we may lose
that advantage.

I say make the next election the ultimate
battle of the sexes...

MAN vs WOMAN

And watch Hillary fall.

She had a lot when she walked out of the White House with the silverware, etc.

Well, this is what is motivating her immigration talk.

No real Conservative or Republican is going to take her seriously. I don't believe she'd enforce law anymore than another would on this issue. I don't believe she even thinks she'll win many Conserves/Reps with this pretension.

The idea is to keep a sensitive issue with Reps on the front burner. To keep the tension building and then press the right emotional button during the election so that we'll split.

"You think Boxer is going to run?"

Yes. While I don't agree with her take on things I get the sense that for the Dems. Boxer will represent the same thing as the Clintons only without the grotesque narcissicism and criminal baggage.

I see. By split you mean splitting off conservative voters by pretending conservative values. I guess it could work, particularly if her opponent is moderate. I suspect her husband is advising her to do just that, since it worked for him.
