You can't inflate your balloon by defating the other guy's. The Dems have offered nothing, absolutely nothing, but dis-loyal opposition. Why, exactly, would they be gaining support when they are putting forward nothing constructive to support?

The Republican party rejuvenated itself with Reagan, and later, the Gingrich Revolution. Though they've gone way off that path since, it was clear, direct ideas that they put out to run on. The Dems can't offer reforms of anything, since the things that need reform are the programs that they've used to buy their constituencies. Now they find themselves unable to offer ideas for the future because the problems to fix are the ones form the programs they offered a generation ago.

O'Reilly sometimes talks a good game, but he's as much a wingnut as the rest of the leftists. I had to turn off the radio tonight he was babbling so much about radical right wingers.

"51 percent of Americans will not vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton under any circumstances should she secure the Democrat nomination for president."

Which is why I suspect she will run as an independent. A transparent strategy, but a plausible one.

All the Bush-bashing in the world does not seem to be making liberal candidates more attractive.

The Democrats need a few sessions with Dr. Phil.

I disagree. It's a good article.

The "We Hate Bush" line in ref to the NYT is actually better than good.

Good point, and depending on your opponent being stupider than you is no way to win. Reagan won because people wanted him, not because they couldn't stand Mondale.

Well, he's right this time.

The 2008 election is the Republicans' to lose. They still can lose it if they try hard enough, but only because they fail to put up a good candidate, not because the Democrats have any impressive candidates.

They seem to be turning against hillary, and now they're fighting over which losing presidential candidate is better, gore or kerry. The media pushed kerry for a year or so, and now they seem to be pushing gore.

All they have available is some old retreads.

Did you see they took a poll in Florida and Newt is the potential candidate moving up the list the fastest.... tied with McCain who is dropping... George Allen isn't gaining any traction in the polls. Given he is young, perhaps VP could be a better start for him.

Of course in a few months, Loudmouth O'Reilly will stick his finger in the air, decide it's blowing a different way and give us the exact opposite rant.

Hannity interviewed Newt on H & C tonight. He asked if he was running. Newt said something about his grandchildren then had a big smile. Hannity said, "He's running."

Republicans made the same mistake with all the Clinton bashing. After a while, it just became boring.

With one key, huge difference. Clinton actually did the stuff we bashed him for.

I haven't decided how I feel about the possibility yet. The man is brilliant, but his sudden friendship with Hillary bothered me and I've read some behind-the-scene stories of his tenure in congress that makes me wonder about his temperment for the job, but he could well be what we need to follow W and a Gingrich/Allen ticket would be a lot more appealing than a Kerry/Whoever ticket.

I don't give a hoot for Newt. After I learned that he cheated on his wife, the man is nothing to me, he's dead in my book.

Newt has too many skeletons in his closet.

The best candidate would be Jeb Bush, but I'm afraid the dynasty angle rules him out.
