Dear Hillary: Don't Run

Ah, yes. I recognize that sound bite. It's from her Martin Luther King, Jr. Day speech.

<< Should the Democratic Party be crippled, the Republican Party is likely to become complacent, uninspired and unaccountable. >>

This written ten years ago was it?

Been spiked all that while?

Jeb Bush running for President is sure way to get Hillary elected.. with a MANDATE...

[upchuck]

By the time George Bush leaves office in 2009, this country will have had 20 years with either a Bush or Clinton at the helm. Citizens want a break from that White House tradition.

Amen Brother. Bring on a true Conservative!

[Graymatter]

Gee, if Hillary brings all of those negatives to the table then I think she should run.

So do I, but the Iowa caucuses come first and the Iowans will put her you-know-where.

[HHFi]

They fear, Hillary, that you would doom Democrats to impotence for decades.

If any woman could induce decades of impotence, it's Hillary.

[Cicero]

Actually, now that I think of it, hillary might have a hard time pulling the dynasty card since she would also represent a dynasty--12 or 16 years of clintons.

Not that that kind of contradiction bothers the MSM. They would just bash one side and cover for the other. But they might have a hard time doing it.

I see some signs that the GOP ticket in 2008 will be McCain & Jeb as VP. Then McCain declines to run for a second term in 2012 because of his age and Jeb runs for POTUS. This strategy avoids the "Bush monarchy" attack on Jeb and could keep the White House out of Dem hands through 2020 at a critical time in history. The next 15 years are a critical time when nuclear weapons must be kept out of the wrong hands, and failure to do so will be catastrophic for the world.

The Tampa Trib isn't as liberal a rag as the St. Pete Times, but never the less it is a rag.
Hard to believe this came from its editorial board.

Mrs. Clinton as she hates to be called is the most reviled politico in America. While many dems hate G.W., even in her own party she is often disliked. As for repubs I haven't found a one that cares for her.
Mrs Clintos has her supporters but they seem to be the very liberal crazies of the dem. party. She will have to appeal to them to garner the nomination and in so doing will have to show her ture colours.
In the meantime I can't wait to see adds showing her sneaking out of OUR White House carrying silverware and lamps.

Should the Democratic Party be crippled, the Republican Party is likely to become complacent, uninspired and unaccountable.

From where I sit, both of these things have already happened.

[Bob Dobalina]

She wouldn't level that one herself. Oppo people and 527 like MoveOn would play that card. She'd disavow that argument while the Dem dogs would bark it in the background.

[Bob Dobalina]

Well, whatever gets her off the plantation...

[pollyannaish]

I admire and support GW, and certainly don't hate GHW...

But I won't make an exception for Jeb, even though I'm sure he is a good man and able administrator.

It's time for some new blood in DC. Literally.

[Texas Eagle]

Amen.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

As a Republican, I would love to see her run because she will energize our base and could possibly be easy to beat.

As an American, I would hate to see her run because I don't want to take the chance that she would end up in the White House. She would easily win the Democratic nomination and have a about a 50/50 shot (especially if a third party runs). Can we take that chance? If it had to be a democrat, I would much rather see a Mark Warner presidency than a Hillary Clinton presidency.

[hershey]

Didn't see that Leno show, but love the report...priceless! Thanks!

[wny]

that would be yet another glaring example of MSM hypocrisy. Bush dynasty bad. Kennedy dynasty good.

[cricket]

Think, Hillary, not about what you want, but what's best for your party and country.

LOL, for sure. . .
