Has the pig ever BEEN to Chappaqua?
I believe anything can happen with these people. They have no boundaries because they will do anything.
I am nervous about her candidacy. I thought she was unelectable anywhere... I never even thought she'd win in NY. My family there told me they were absolutely shocked by some of the people who said they were voting for her.
Once they get in there, they can cheat, cheat, cheat. They sell everything and anything that is not theirs, and they get great returns. NOTHING is below this scum.
Kerry did become a little bit of a source of ridicule, but to the average voter, there was no hatred or fear of Kerry. Maybe just the sense that he wasn't up to the job.
The hatred of Hillary isn't just confined to the far right. She creeps out men and women of all political stripes. If she can pull it off despite that, she'll have come from a far weaker position than Kerry ever had.
If I had to put my money on a GOP candidate right now, I'd go for George Allen. He came into the Virginia governor's race at a staggering disadvantage... he was behind by some astronomical figure. Mary Sue Terry was considered a shoo in. So I would say he's a good campaigner, probably has good ideas about what the media is going to play on the "elect a woman" issue, and of course his current role is only going to expand his campaign insight. Plus I think he's got personal charm that will win over some voters also. My guess is he could make Hillary look even more shrill and unappealing than usual (if such be possible).
Exactly so. That's the beauty and true genius of the system of government the founders created.
If Condi declares that she will be a pro-life president, I believe she will be pro-life. I think she's a woman of her word. Call it expediency if you like, but I don't believe she would lie about it. Expediency is fine with me, as long as the job gets done.
If hillary says it, on the other hand, it will be meaningless. Everyone knows she doesn't mean it. As Safire once remarked in a Times OpEd column, she is an "inveterate liar."
Well-put, Cicero.
It Takes a Village may run, but they're aren't enough village idiots to elect her.
The rapist enabler will never be president of The United States of America.
Run Hillary Run!
That is just wishful thinking. She will carry ever state Kerry won. She had a very good chance of winning Ohio and a couple of others Bush won.. like Iowa. She might win West Virginia.
You are thinking voters react to Hillary the way you do. We know a majority of voters do not react to Bill or Hillary the way you do.
By 2008 the electorate will want nothing changed. That is, they will want grid lock. We will be 5 years into the good times and the public will want absolutely nothing done. Hillary will campaign at being better at doing nothing than anyone.
Styne has it right. The electorate will vote for grid lock. They will have a very strong Republican House and Senate and put Hillary in the White House. They won't be able to think of a better grid lock than that.
thanks for the ping
Great graphic! LOL!
I wish you were right, but this is the country which reelected Bill in 1996.
No we don't. First of all, the votes were cast for Bill, not Hillary. They might have been cast more for Al Gore than her.
Predicting the 2008 election based on 1996 results is just dumb.
Perhaps the electorate will be ready for a party change in the presidency in 2008, but it's hardly a given, nor is it a historical pattern.
The good news is I think she'll be President for two terms. It's good news because I'm always wrong.
...cut out the photograph from the New York Times the other day: a pumped Robert C. Byrd giving a clenched-fist salute at a MoveOn.org rally. That’s the Rainbow Coalition 2005 model: a dwindling band of ancient vindictive legislators yoked to a cash-flush unrepresentative fringe.
Well said.
