Hillary's Presidential Speed Bump

The Answer, MoveOn.org crowd won't let her tack to center.

[Buck W.]

Will she pledge to serve her full term? All of her opponents should hammer that question.

[TheForceOfOne]

Clinton has positioned herself as a moderate in what most speculate is an attempt to gain red state credibility.

She has attempted to pass herself off as a moderate and she is catching hell from her base. She can't pull it off, the political divide is too wide for her to be able to straddle it. It's like the Grand Canyon!

"Former National Writers Union president Jonathan Tasini and former Green Party member Steven Greenfield are hoping to tap into the party's liberal base in this dark blue state.

They are so dumb, they run two candidates, and split the vote. Hilary waltzes home.

[1Old Pro]

Hillary has no fear of losing her Senate seat. None.

But she has the thighs for it!

"Murtha certainly captured it. Cindy Sheehan has captured it," he said.

Too bad there aren't enough media people to vote them in.

[Emile]

You're probably right, she'll coast to Senate re-election in NY. But it'd be fun to see her relentlessly attacked from the left in the meantime. The moveon.org crowd is determined to promote the most radical leftist they can get for president, and Hillary is going to have to be pretty nimble, as it stands now, to get their support. Ought to be great to watch.

[TheForceOfOne]

For the love of God make it stop!!!!!! lol

[areafiftyone]

Kinda turns you off of cottage cheese doesn't it?

[1Old Pro]

Moveon will back hillary, granted she's not Lenin or Mao, but she's the next best thing.

"said Clinton's Communications Director Ann Lewis."

My, I didn't know that hag was still around.

[kevkrom]

two antiwar candidates have announced they will challenge Clinton for the Democratic nomination in New York next year... One of their primary tasks will be to reshape the popular perception of Clinton's ideological makeup... "She has a reputation as a strong liberal..."

Reading between the lines:

• The "anti-war" ticket, especialyl when split two ways, has no chance of beating Clinton
• By challenging Clinton on Iraq and her "liberal" credentials, the "challengers" make her look Centrist, which is exactly what she wants
• Ergo, I have to assume that all of this is part and parcel of Hillary!'s plan to run for President in 2008

[kevkrom]

But it'd be fun to see her relentlessly attacked from the left in the meantime.

That's exactly what she wants. She's running to the middle. If she gets attacked from the left almost as badly as she will be certainly from the right, she looks exactly like the "above-it-all" centrist that she's trying to pose as.

[areafiftyone]

ROFLMAO!!

[Radix]

This is simply a feint in order to allow her to ingratiate herself to the Right.

The conspiracy is vast.

Oh, sure. No problem. And it'll be worth as much as her husband's pledge to serve the full length of his last Arkansas term.
