It was great for him in the 1990s, when there was a political center, but today is an era of polarization. Yeah, in the 1990s, before blogs, FReepers, etc., you could get away with this. Fortunately, as Dr. Lecter would say, "But not anymore!"

December 15, 2005 -- IF Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton really wants to run for president, it looks as if she needs a new strategy, because her tortured triangulation is now backfiring so badly that even draft-Hillary fans are mad at her.
In fact, draft-Hillary chief Bob Kunst — who broadcast the first pro-Hillary TV ads of the 2008 cycle — is so upset that he's mulling new ads to accuse triangulation champ Bill Clinton of betraying his wife politically.
Bill Clinton invented triangulation — trying to grab the center and paint foes on both sides as extremists. It was great for him in the 1990s, when...

I hope she does. We will even take Massachusetts.
"I have never been able to understand why Dole ran. Certainly there were better candidates. "
Exactimundo! The GOP, in '96, begged Colin Powell to run but he refused. There was someone else, forget who, but the GOP ended up with Dole, who today is brilliantly funny and smart. He did not come off well vs clintoon in the debates and he appeared dour and too serious. Image is EVERYTHING, which is why hitlery hasn't a chance in hell, IMO.
LOL.
You're right, after 10 "ya know" s in one paragraph, mind-numbing takes over and not another word is heard.
You're absolutely right. Say what you will about Bill Clinton he had the knack of connecting with people and Hillary just doesn't. The idea of Hillary Clinton sounds very formidable but the reality of Hillary is just the opposite. Her candidacy will evaporate once people actually start voting. She'll be the Ed Muskie of 2008.
Waistband won't hold for her either.
Please, dear God, no "Second Coming" of any clinton.

Ben can U imagine her in a corsett? Like a large Hippo.
Mike's brother?
Who says the media never gives us any good news?
Perot gave clintoon the election......couldn't believe how many voted for old Ross.
'draft-Hillary chief Bob Kunst'
Gotta love that name...honestly, the best stuff you just can't make up
I'll believe the moonbats will abandon Hillary when I see it.
I'd love to see her legendary temper come out during a debate.
I've wondered if the stools for the town hall debate will be able to hold!
Oh, yes, she will. McCain will never get the GOP nomination, and I imagine he would be happy to mess with the GOP candidate in return for a good position in a hillary admin. Maybe Sec. of Def.
There are other possibilities, but he's clearly one who would do it.
actually, my thought was the hitlery and mccain will run as independents, hill as prez, mcpain as vp.
