As each day passes, it becomes increasingly clear that the Democrats will win the White House next year. It's not quite 1932, but it's getting close to a sure thing. All the energy is on their side, they are raising more money from more contributors, and there is little if any enthusiasm for the Republican candidates -- even among Republicans... At some point, politically sophisticated conservatives will have to recognize that no Republican can win in 2008 and that their only choice is to support the most conservative Democrat for the nomination. Call me crazy, but I think that person is Hillary Clinton.

Make friends with the crocodile there Bruce, maybe you’ll be lucky and she’ll eat you last.
WTF is this guy smoking?! It’s also published at National Review Online.
He is a Moron? Maroon? Douche? Idiot? Putz? Amazing what photographs of a guy with a goat can make some people do!
“Call me crazy...”
Ok. Bruce you’re crazy.
“At some point, politically sophisticated conservatives will have to recognize that no Republican can win in 2008...”
Bruce, what, by chance, is a “politically sophisticated conservative”?
He sounds like a Republican Harry Reid, surrendering before the fight has even started.
Concede that the Democrats will win and throw ourselves on the mercy of Hillary Clinton? Good gawd: What a frightening thought.
Hillary as a conservative. What is this fool thinking?
“Call me crazy, but I think that person is Hillary Clinton.”
You’re not only crazy, you’re F***ing crazy.
Not you peyton, the author.
What did the DNC put in Bruce’s water?
“Politically sophisticated conservatives”. WEll, as long as nobody tells the rest of us that Rudy can’t win and most of us don’t stay home and sulk, we will win. Is the author of that piece just looking to attract attention, because if he is, I think he has done that. His opinions will be worth zip henceforth.
The Dem to support is Mike Gravel if there is one. He shares their views on surrender and health care, but is for a flat tax.
My thoughts as well.

This assclown must have been sleeping during the Clinton administration to think we would ever do anything positive for that witch.
The fact that Hillary is the most conservative Democrat running for the nomination is quite telling.
Fake "conservative" undermining real conservatism again. This fraud also wrote before the 2006 election an article titled "Bring on Pelosi", which said that a Democrat takeover of Congress would be good for the country.
Bartlett (like many conservatives) may be for free-markets but that appears to be his only loyalty.
At this point in 1987 it looked unlikely that Vice President Bush would be elected in 1988 either. It was no sure thing that Bush would even be nominated. But it was generally thought that no one could match President Reagan’s dynamism or that no other Republican would engender as much enthusiasm. We all know how that one turned out.
Having said that, it is true that 2008 will be an uphill battle. The “news” media of course are totally one sided now. At least back then there was some semblance of fairness. If a Republican wins in ‘08 it will be rather remarkable, but hardly a miracle.
Maybe the so called conservatives he is speaking of are the new Rooty liberal conservatives.
OK, I’ll call him crazy

I don’t know...I’d be tempted to vote for her, if she promised me that Bill would end up in Ft. Marcy Park right after the election.
