No, I really didn't. Never trusted him in 1st place.
I beleive people will be shocked how many suburban women will vote for Hillary - many of whom normally vote GOP but not for ideological reasons. The GOP needs to focus on holding the map they won with in 2004 AND NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED. Watch the suburbs in places like Northern Virginia etc...
Did you read my last paragraph??
Morris is insane. The Hollywood Left loved Kerry infinitely more than they will love Candidate Hillary and he still lost. Their influence is nothing outside of their sycophants.
Not women in general, just Hillary. Although he still worships 'Slick', he absolutely despises Hillary and is consumed and obsessed with her.
Good job Michael, will be fun to watch.
Thanks
Just because he worked for bill, either:
He is an undercover democrat and thus helping them?
or he knows the Clinton's well enough to despise them?
Do not underestimate the number of white women that see through her.
Then the campaign should be real easy, muddy hilly up with women. "A vote for Hilly is a vote in favor of men screwing around on their wives and never buying them jewelry."
... [W]e must go back to November 8, 2004, which is exactly six days after the re-election of George W. Bush. The venue is Washington Journal (C-SPAN). Enter Harold Ickes, looking weirder, more Ichabod-Crane-on-crank, than usual. Looking weirder still when one remembers that Harold Ickes is a strictly behind-the-scenes sort of guy. Only something very important could have coaxed Harold Ickes onto center stage....21 Forgoing the standard niceties, Ickes launches into his planned tirade. He accuses Bush of terrorizing white women to get their vote.22 (The way he carried on, you would think he was accusing the president of rape or something.)23
Now fast forward to October 11, 2005. Susan Estrich, alignments adjusted upward--ALL alignments--is on Hannity and Colmes. She is there to huckster The Case for Hillary Clinton, 24 both the book and candidate. Estrich's spiel turns her recent dire warning to the Democrats ("The clintons are sucking up all the air. Get them off the stage!" )25 on its literal head.26 (Air? Who needs air when you have a clinton?) ICKES + ESTRICH PROVIDE ROADMAP FOR HILLARY DEFEAT (oops!) Susan Estrich attempts to tie the fate of all women to the fate of the hillary clinton candidacy in a cynical attempt to get the women's vote. She argues that hillary clinton is the best chance, probably the only chance, for a woman president in our lifetime. The false and demeaning argument and offensive gender bias aside, someone ought to clue in Susan Estrich. Gender feminism requires as its token a functional female. So why is Susan Estrich making such a transparently spurious and insulting argument? She isn't that dumb. For the same reason Harold Ickes is fulminating on C-SPAN.
The white woman, the only real swing voter, the demographic the Democrats MUST get in order to win the White House, has turned red. In the immediate aftermath of the 2004 presidential election, a journalistic consensus emerged to explain George W. Bush's victory. Despite the sluggish economy and deteriorating situation in Iraq, voters supported Bush primarily because of his values. One prominently featured exit poll question showed "moral values" to be the most important issue for voters, ahead of terrorism, Iraq, and the economy. Backlash against the Massachusetts court ruling allowing gay marriage and attraction of Bush's appeals to Christian faith helped bring out socially conservative voters and cement Bush's second term. This explains why Bush won Ohio, for example, where an anti-gay marriage proposal was on the ballot. However compelling this story might be, it is wrong. Instead, Bush won because married and white women increased their support for the Republican ticket.... In this article I briefly account for the factors behind Bush's rise in the state-by-state popular vote between 2000 and 2004. This is not the same as identifying who elected Bush. That sort of analysis would put responsibility on white men since they voted 61-38 for Bush and comprise almost half of the active electorate. Instead, I focus on what changed between 2000 and 2004. In this view, it is white women who are responsible because they showed more aggregate change. Identifying a cause for this shift looks for an explanation also in things that changed in the past four years. For example, John Kerry was not exactly Al Gore, so differences between Bush's two opponents could be a factor. But I suggest that such differences are dwarfed by a much larger intervention: the attacks of September 11. Turnout was up in 2004 because the perceived heightening of the stakes after 9-11 and because of intense competition between the candidates in a small number of battleground states. Higher turnout also appears to have helped Bush slightly. But it was the shift of married white women from the Democratic camp to the Republican camp that gave him the edge in 2004.

The clintons, as is their wont, are now taking this proxy scheme to even more outrageous extremes. The latest: an actual hillary clinton proxy presidency, populated on both sides of the camera by assorted rodham and clinton ex-staffers, sycophants and should-be felons, witness the latest hire. 'Commander-in-Chief,' a show that sets out to crown a 'queen,' instead exposes the kitschy simplemindedness of Hollywood fantasy and the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego.

Running vicariously, as we have argued, has its risks. What was supposed to be Hollywood propaganda to make a hillary presidency marginally palatable has instead become a parable about missus clinton's own dystopian future. ABC announced the other day that it is pulling "Commander-in-Chief" off the air "until spring." Missus clinton's proxy presidency, you see, has been in a ratings free fall ever since "American Idol" took it on. In a perverse life-mirrors-art moment, support for the real-life missus clinton's presidency has plummeted, too. This even sans Rudy, her real-life "American Idol" opponent. 'Ars artia gratis.' Please! Samuel Goldwyn must be turning over in his grave. Mia T, 02.02.06 |
And repugnant.
Except that he is not wrong this time.
Giuliani and McCain are the only Republicans who can win in 2008. Otherwise it's a Democrat. And if the nominee is Hillary, she is the next POTUS.
And a Hillary candidacy would mean a record number of MEN voting for ANY ONE ELSE.
That much, at least, is true.
We have a winner! I agree with you and have said for the past two years that if she's nominate, she will win...unfortunaltely for the country.
However, no one focuses on how 'FIRED UP' the liberal lobby would be,,,the feminist lobby,,,the union lobby,,,the big government lobby,,,,the Clinton sycophants,,,the gay lobby,,,the pro-abortion lobby,,,the socialist lobby,,,the clueless youth lobby,,,the minority lobby. The passionate support and voter turnout from those groups (which is huge) will match, if not surpass, the conservative/moderate groups opposing her election.
Hillary's candidacy is hard to evaluate because she's only run for office once, and her one campaign had only one sentinel event.
Rick Lazio lost the election the night he crossed the stage at their debate to hand Hillary a piece of paper.
This was a simple, and usually effective, piece of debate theater.
For Lazio, it was a catastrophe. Hillary felt "threatened". Hillary's friends in the press ran articles on "controlling" men, on batterers, on domestic violence.
On election day, Hillary ran a million votes behind Al Gore in New York City and Buffalo - this is not a normal situation for a normal NY RAT senator.
She was elected by the votes of Upstate "conservative" women - women who normally vote right, but who could not resist projecting all of their little slights and injuries onto pooor Hillary, who was"'violated" on debate night by Rick Lazio and his little piece of paper.
The point is, what worked brilliantly against Kerry will elect Hillary
The right campaign strategy to beat her has not been discovered yet, because she is far from a normal candidate - and her second race is for all the marbles, leaving no margin for error by her opponent, who will be playing a game without rules.
