OK, so Dick Morris thinks the '08 Presidential race will be between Hillary! and McVain. Given his track record at forecasting, I will take that as very good news!

Yeah, I think most of the "news" is just press releases.

The problem is that McCain probably can’t win the Republican nomination. He is too independent, original, creative, and populist for his party.

Dammit, he's just too durn GOOD for those wascally Wepublicans!

Dick is one of those people who will tell an interviewer "I think Candidate Smith will win it all in tonight's election," and when the interviewer replies, "Candidate Smith just conceded to Candidate Jones," Morris will nod and say "Exactly as I predicted, Candidate Smith lost tonight's election because of his stance on..."

Will these Democrats stop telling us who the Republican candidate is going to be?

For me, George Allen is at the top of the list.

Not even Teddy Roosevelt could win running as an independent--all he did was to ensure that the Democrat would win. McCain, with luck, might do as well as George Wallace in 1968 or Ross Perot in 1992, but wouldn't come close to winning. He might be amenable to running as the 'Rats' VP nominee (he toyed with the idea in 2004), but maybe the hard Left in the Democratic Party would object to him in that role.

Morris isn't considering the impact of John Kerry's appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show tonight. Finally, a chance to clear up those questions, like why he won't sign the 180 and whether he got turned down for Harvard Law School because he had a dishonorable discharge from the Navy.

Yes, indeed. Their play book mantra: Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth. At least we're onto them now and can spot 'em a mile away....

In the Republican primaries, McCain runs far ahead of all other contenders.

GOP straw polls so far:

Tennessee - Frist
Minnesota - Gingrich
Michigan - Tancredo


lol. It hardly seems that McCain is running away with it, so far.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain

In other words, both parties are going to run clones.

The potential race for 2008 makes me very sad because I don't see a conservative out there that comes close to meeting what I'd like to see in a candidate. I want to see someone who has a base of conservative ideas; someone who is not a one-issue person; who instills patriotism; who is fiscally responsible and is strong on the defense of this country. I think the Democratic primary is going to be extremely entertaining because I think in the end it's going to be a bloodbath on that side.

Australia might take us in.

BTW, Gore is a total has-been. He's foaming at the mouth half the time, like Howeird Dean. I wouldn't trust McCain with my wallet, much less the Oval Office. Hillary "it takes a village" Klinton is a dangerous socialist. Guiliani plays well in the East, but Southerners and probably Westerners could care less. I nominate Ronald Reagan.

I'd have to care about other folks opinions.

I'm not going to vote for a anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-gay Northeastern liberal. And I'm not going to vote for the author of CFR. If those are the choices the 'Pubbies offer, then Democrats can have it, and I won't give a d@mn.

The fact is that neither Giuliani nor McCain stand much of a chance of winning the Republican nomination. Both men are unpopular with the conservative core constituency of the GOP. The other candidates, while perhaps more appealing to conservatives, have other flaws, such as inconsistent positions on social issues (Romney), a less than commanding public persona (Allen), or mediocre leadership (Frist).

I suspect the actual Republican Presidential candidate in 2008 might be someone whose name is not prominently mentioned at present. It may even be someone like Condi Rice, who denies any interest in running for the Presidency. After all, we are well over two years away from the general election. President Bush did not seriously entertain a Presidential run until the year before the 2000 election.

McCain defeated Bush in the New Hampshire primary in 2000 (he did particularly well with non-Republicans who were allowed to vote in the Republican primary).

If Bill Bradley had been a little more exciting as a candidate, maybe he would have drawn a lot of the votes that went to McCain, so that Bush and Bradley would have been the NH winners, and Gore would have had a harder time winning the Democratic nomination, and Bush would have had an easier ride to the Republican nomination.

I don't know if McCain did well in any primary in 2000 where only registered Republicans could vote in the Republican primary.

Yeah, that's what I thought. He did ok in NH, as did Pat Buchanan, as I recall.
