"Ha! Ha! She doesn't from me!"

NEW YORK If the Democratic Party wants to figure out how to win national elections again, it has an unexpected guide: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
.
. [snip]The first lesson Clinton is demonstrating is the need to talk much more openly about God and prayer. That resonates in a country where a Pew poll found that 60 percent of Americans pray at least once a day.
. [snip]"I've always been a praying person," Clinton declared recently.
. [snip]Democrats are usually more comfortable talking about sex than God. But that doesn't work in a country where 70 percent say that "presidents should have strong religious beliefs."
. [snip]The Democratic Party commits seppuku in the heartland by coming across as indifferent to people's doubts about abortions or even as pro-abortion. ...
. . . [snip]Clinton is also hard to dismiss as a screechy obstructionist .
[snip]The makeover is working with New York state voters. Clinton has an approval rating in the state of 69 percent, according to a New York Times poll.
. [snip]In small towns like Yamhill, any candidate from New York carries a lot of baggage, and Clinton more than most. Moreover, television magnifies her emotional reserve and turns her into a frost queen. Clinton's negative ratings nationally were around 40 percent at last count, and Hillary-hating thrives.

News flash....New York AIN'T MIDDLE AMERICA
"Ive always been a praying person you FJB."
oh gag me
"Ha! Ha! She doesn't from me!"
A New Yorker will never carry the SOUTH.
She probably prayed to satan, they both have much in common.NSNR
Get this from a few days ago!
***
Forget her prepared speeches, put aside her moderate statements on Iraq and abortion. This is how you know she's running for president in 2008. Ten days ago a reporter interviewed her in the halls of the Senate (another kind of cloister) and asked if she planned to run for president. She did not say, "I'm too busy serving the people of New York to think about the future." She did not say, "Oh, I already have a heckuva lot on my plate." She said, "I have more than I can say grace over right now." ---- Noonan

How sick and low of Hillary to put it that way, eh?
...New Yorker? by way of Arkansas
It's an interesting article, which poses the following question: Can you win a national election by pretending to be someone that you are not?
Outside of NYC it is.
I still can't believe the best candidate the Democrats can come up with is Hillary Clinton. Ridiculous.
More of the TRULY faithful are praying she doesn't get the nomination or win in 2008. If there is one thing she does get....it's the meaning of the word duplicity.
well they came up with Kerry in '04... talk about not being the best. There is precedent, is all I'm sayin'
What a liar....she's a butch....Americans' don't won't a lesbian as our president....
"Americans' don't won't a lesbian as our president..."
well not THAT lesbian anyway.
Seriously, does anyone think there will be someone with the -ahem- courage to bring that subject up, should she be the nominee? It would make things interesting.
No! Hillary doesn't get it!
Hillary still does not know that the RED states DON'T BELIEVE HER. And .. even if she dumped her husband - we still wouldn't believe her.
