"Hillary Clinton really is one of the weakest . . . nominees with whom the Democrats could be saddled."
"Democrats are worried sick about her chances."
"Just give someone else a chance, so we in the Democratic Party can elect a Democrat."
"She cannot possibly, possibly win."
Yada, yada, yada.
We've heard all this "Hillary can't win stuff" before. In fact, the quotes above aren't from recent weeks but from six years ago, when many pundits -- and Democrats -- said there was no way that Hillary could get elected to the Senate. She won by 12 percentage points.
We don't know if Hillary is going to run for president, but as advisers who have worked on the only two successful Democratic presidential campaigns in the past couple of decades, we know that if she does run, she can win that race, too.
Why? First, because strength matters. Our problems as a party are less ideological than anatomical: Our candidates have been made to look like they have no backbone. But the latest Post-ABC News poll shows that 68 percent of Americans describe Hillary Clinton as a strong leader. That comes after years of her being in the national crossfire. People know that Hillary has strong convictions, even if they don't always agree with her. They also know that she's tough enough to handle the viciousness of a national campaign and the challenges of the presidency itself.
One thing we know about Clinton campaigns: Nobody gets Swift Boated.
The woman who gave the War Room its name knows how tough politics at the presidential level can be. Adversaries spent $60 million against her in 2000, and she endured press scrutiny that would have wilted most candidates. She gave as good as she got, and she triumphed.

You have to looh at where Hillary won. In New York.
Home of the guest Senator.
O f course the Snakehead thinks she can win. He gets paid to think that.
You must admit, pound for pound she's our scariest politician.
...cough! hack! gag! Wha-WHAAAAT?!!?!?!
The love notes she gets from the press are considered "press scrutiny"?
Mary, you've been tightening the screws on his human skin skullcap a LEEETLE too tight in the morning!
Carville is comparing hips to thighs. Of course Hillary could win as Senator for New York, but she wouldn't have won in Arkansas, and he knows Democrats don't think she can win the presidency in 2008. Carville has said he won't ever work on a presidential campaign again, unless Hillary runs. He and Paul Begala are already on the record as committed to that campaign. That bogus disclaimer "don't know if she's running in 2008", just proves how dishonest Carville is.
The woman who gives Madame Hamhocks its meaning.
The woman who gives The Lady MacBeth of Little Rock a name.
The woman who gives SHRILL a name.
The Red Marxist Queen of the Universe, Satan's Daughter, Mrs. Bent One, The Stalinist Cookie-Baker has given Machiavellian a new name.
DO NOT THROW N.Y. OUT WITH THE BATH WATER!

Hillary Clinton is to decent government as Ted Bundy is to dating ettiquette.
Oops.
Frozen wasteland.
I wish they would just put her on the ballot for once and for all. She would be womped so hard that it would finally shut people up about a Hillary presidency. No matter how much the MSM want her, even most Dems that I know can't stand her. The other benefit is the guarantee of another Republican Presidential term beginning with the 2008 election. Bring her on!
Never one to let inconvenient facts get in the way of a story, James ignores that it would not have been a "12 percentage points" story if Guiliani had stayed in the Senate race.
Nice try James trying to turn anatomy into ideology. What's next...x-rays of the beast's backbone? They might be necessary to convince her lower-life enablers.
Run Hillary Run!
Regardless of money spect, this definately confirms Bob Nelson's comedy routine line, "A mind is a terrible thing".
spect=spent
The best strategy the right could pursue re hillary is to be silent -- until she is nominated.
But we simply cannot.
We are as weak about hillary, as paparazzi before Jolie.
