As the Dems awake after election day, having failed to take either the House or the Senate, the 2008 campaign for the WH begins in earnest, and look for the Clintons to seize control of the Dem pary and all its machinery. That means Dean is out at the DNC, and both Pelosi and Reid will be gone as Dem leaders in Congress..No way Hillary will run for the WH with those two as the faces of the Dem party in Congress for the two years...Pelosi's out, so is Murtha..and it won't be Hoyer...I look for Rahm Emanuel to get the slot in the House, and, here's a BIG surprise call...Hillary will back Schumer for minority leader in the Senate..It won't be Durbin..because he's in Obama's camp...and Chuckie, for all his many faults, is only among the few Dem senators NOT running for the WH...so, she wins his loyalty that way..
Bill Kristol said last week, either on the Sunday roundtable or on Brit's panel one day, that he predicted Gore would win the '08 nomination. He could stand up at an early primary debate and say to any of the likely Senate contenders (not including Obama) that he, Gore, opposed the war from the beginning and they, including Hillary, had voted for it. Kristol's idea was that a statement like that would instantly win the primary for him based on who the Dem primary voters are.
I'm not sure how the dynamics would play out with Obama thrown into the mix. He could turn around and claim innocence, since he wasn't in the Senate at the time, and then bash Gore for any of a thousand things in the Clinton years. That would be a twofer if Hillary were standing there as well.
"Looks like Clinton is not angry at Wallace at all - or else how in the world his major contributor friend would agree to appear on Fox?"
That's an interesting thought. Something I've been thinking as I've seen Pres Bush on BOR and he'll be on Steffy's and other shows is how he gets tough questions and answers them thoughtfully and sometimes humoursly. Klintoon came unglued over 1 little question. Just another indication to me of who is the better man and leader - - -of course, the DBM will never mention this!

reminds me of an old Greek proverb....
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.."
The resulting ugliness might be a way to finally break the black vote out of the Slave Party column for good, especially if Steele wins in Maryland.
The Pubbies in CA have filed suit against Jerry Brown saying he can't be AG because of the requirements:
Republicans file lawsuit seeking to disqualify Brown as candidate.

CAMPAIGN 2006: Attorney General Republicans file lawsuit seeking to disqualify Brown as candidate Filing says he's not active member of bar -- mayor's spokesman calls action 'dirty trick'
10-20) 04:00 PDT Sacramento -- A lawsuit filed Thursday by two GOP party activists claims Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown's failure to maintain an active membership in the state bar for two of the past five years disqualifies him from holding the office of attorney general.
State law says candidates for attorney general must have been admitted to practice before the California Supreme Court for "at least five years immediately preceding" election.
Brown's status with the State Bar was "inactive" from 1997 to 2003, which prevented him not only from practicing law in California but from reaching the five-year minimum, the lawsuit says.
"It would be as serious miscarriage of justice for us to elect an attorney general who isn't eligible," said Tom Del Beccaro, the lead plaintiff and chair of the Contra Costa County Republican Party at a press conference outside Sacramento Superior Court, where the issue will be decided. "When you go inactive, you are no longer able to practice. That makes him ineligible."

They're predictions are wrong. Note how all pollsters are starting to narrow their numbers so they have some credibity when all votes are counted.
Closing our eyes at this crucial time is tantamount to cut and run. Hang in there and fight. See my tagline.
I love your tagline, btw. So true. I've started calling Dems on it flat out with: "So you think Americans are the bad guys?" They don't like to answer it. America's role on this planet has been the role of the good guy...one of the few. If they can't see it, heaven help them.
Reminds me of another old saying: Ain't no fool like an old fool
Moonbeam will just get the 9th Circus to rule in his favor.
After watching the alphabet network sycophancy to democrats, it is plain the current talking point is 'we democrats advocate bipartisan action to save the Iraq effort', which is to say 'we democrats will call it bipartisan if and only if everyone does what we want, asap., else we and our media whoredom will completely undermine any effort in Iraq and the war on terrorism, regardless of how many Americans get killed because of our 'emboldening/abetting-terrorist killing American soldiers' strategy to empower our party at any cost.'
And if that isn't sufficient reason for EVERY conservative to get out and vote this cycle, to reject the democrap party and the whoring media sycophants for democraps there will never be a more vital election into which conservative power may be projected!

How confident are we that the entire NIE was classified "Secret" not TS?
I wasn't really directing that post at you, radioguy. I heard the odious Marvin Kalb say yesterday that it was right for CNN to show the terrorist snuff video because it is their job to get the facts of the war out to the people. I was and still am furious over that.

I understood what you ment. I was just expanding on what you said by using my own journalistic experience over there as an example.
There is a HUGE difference between what is really goingon in Iraq on a daily basis...and what we see on the news at night.
Miss Marple, that was a fun trivia quiz you posted on Physspok ? yesterday, and the best thing was that you posted the answers fairly soon.
I only knew a couple, but when you posted the answers, of course, I remembered all of them. Can't believe I forgot Eleanor Mondale...that was a hoot!
And Clinton's secretary, Betty what's her name... wonder what ever happened to her? Remember that her brother had some sort of accident during the height of the testimony stuff? A lot of us grabbed our handy tinfoil and thought that was a message to Betty.
It probably wasn't, but I always wondered if she was bought off or scared off or just on His side.
Another thing I've always wondered about is the Kopechne's. They never made a fuss. Not like I would have made. I always wondered about that also. Were they scared off or bought off? Or both? Maybe they were threatened with a lot of sleazy stuff coming out about their daughter--people were more conservative about that kind of thing back in that day.
Anyway, I'm thrilled everytime I see someone bring up Mary Jo's demise these days. Bet Fat Ted thought that was way behind him.
Nice touch. The angles and colors really capture the cold, inner-stalinist/leftist side of her.
That's the DBM explanation, which I simply don't buy. I lean towards Dafyd ab Hugh's analysis CAN the Polls All Be "Screwy?" Of Course They Can at Big Lizards.
The central issue is are we seeing a huge shift in party affiliation, one that is historically way outside of anything we've seen in decades? I just don't see that happening. I do see people muttering about not voting, but that's only anecdotal and no one I'm seeing is talking about switching sides. And the fact that the polls have been wrong for 10 years and always wrong in way overestimating Democrat positions in most cases adds to my conviction that that explanation just won't fly.
What the DBM is doing is all about depressing Republicans and convincing them not to go out and vote. It's deliberate and desperate and I really don't think it will work.
I also see a lot more Republicans getting pissed off about this manipulation of them and getting out and volunteering and that includes me. In talking to "the regulars" who have worked lots of campaigns that's what they say they're seeing too.
