Eventully Pat predicted rather vehemently and with not a little joy that some Democrat is going to break with the Hillary Clintons of the party and join this "Sheehan Charade" (my phrase) and run as an anti-war candidate for president as did George McGovern or Eugene McCarthy back in '68. Buchanan was serious, and he acted like he felt it was nearly a certainty.
He seemed to really be enjoying the discomfort this is causing G.W. and the Republicans. It was a little gross.
One thing is certain.......She will not be "standing on the LAWN of the WH" when she goes to DC.
Just think, if Cindy Sheehan and Pat Buchanan were living under a regime like Saddam Hussein's, they'd be dead now. But that's what they want for millions of Iraqis.
Well, that worked out pretty well for the 'Pubbies, didn't it? McGovern won, what, one state?
The Donks will eventually fracture along the war/anti-war fault. The anti-war radicals will not be able to support any candidate who does not issue a full throated condemnation of the war. Hillary! will not be able to do this, so she will lose the Left of her party by trying to hold the Center.
Given this calculus, I don't see how Hillary! can win in 2008.
My personal fantasy scenario is that Hillary! faces a strong enough challenge next year for NY Senate that she drops out of that race to run for President and then finds out the race for President is not going to work out, and she drops out of that too. Then she'll be left holding all of the Donk's campaign money, with no way to spend it. I think Hillary! was a one-hit-wonder. I don't think she has another victory in her.
I seem to remember they already had an anti war candidate last year. Howard Dean. Somebody tell Pat the guy went nuts and couldn't get the Dim nomination and uh...... I think he lost.
Forget Iraq. Pat Buchanan is still angry that we entered World War II.
The White Ho was sitting in? I wish I had caught it. Fox was boring and I have a little bit of a thing for her.
