I think we'll all be amazed and disgusted at the depth to which politicing and media reporting will sink in '08. I've not been wrong over the past 10 years in thinking the worst of the Clintons or the left...only when I've thought, "They surely can't support him after that?!?"
Can she be beat, in the primary or the general? Sure. I don't see Obama is the guy to do it. He's never been in this kind of battle before, I'd bet.
Negative ratings have never been an issue for Hillary...she'll just raise the other guy's negatives more. She's a mud slinger and brawler by nature, pure appetite born of resentment and ambition. She's a child of the worst excesses of the '60s and '70s, radical to the core. She is, IMO, evil. She wants admiration and worship, but she'll settle for being feared, and for power...for now.
I think the left is primarily motivated by BDS. I think they aren't looking for a positive message. If they are, then I'm wrong and Obama is the nominee...but I don't think so.
You give the party more credit than I do. I'm up here in the People's Republic of King County, WA.
I’ve always wanted to visit the northwest.
