While there is a great possibility that Hillary will get the nomination, the left is already counting that they have the White House already in the basket

What would Dodd bring to the table? Hillary will not need him to carry Dodd’s state. On the other hand, NM was one of two states that switched from Gore in 2000 into Bush in 2004.

As I’ve said for a long time now, it will be Richardson.

If anyone can wake us out of our lethargy, Hillary can.

If I was the Dems I’d want someone younger then Richardson.. even though he seems a natural choice for them. Hes already 59, so he’ll be at least 60 by the election next year.. And that would mean 68 years old if he were to get a chance to run for President.

Obama is only 46, so that would make him 55ish for his next shot in a Hillary presidency if he were vp.

Good that means they will get cocky and pretentous. Maybe they will even say what “great” Socialist laws they will pass. They probably are getting overly optomistic with Chavez actions. It will be interesting to see who Sean Penn backs (recent Chavez guest).

Have the Democrats, in their hearts, anointed Clinton as their candidate already?

Yes.

And those who seem so sure that she can be whupped easily are asked to recall how she was going to be whupped easily by a young, attractive family man who was a REAL New Yorker, not a carpetbagger who went on a ridiculous listening tour.

Richardson and Dodd are two vile doughy men who are the perfect examples of how dems like their "men"--round as Pillsbury dough boys and easily whipped into order, asking only to be given some power so they can feel masculine.

Blech, what a bunch!

If it is Richardson. just keep playing the film of him being led around by the North Koreans on a tour of the U.S.S. Pueblo
like a sap.

He has been a Clinton butt boy for ever.

From toe-sucker’s mouth to God’s ear. We will beat Hillary like a rented mule.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

She will be rode hard and put up wet.It matters little which whussy pipped running mate she has.

If Rudy doesn’t get the Republican Nomnation, who will?

Well that depends on what happens with the conservative base of the Republican party over the next 6 months. I think that Thompson and Hunter will give Rudy his walkin' papers.

I hardly believe the polls. They always have been wrong in the past, and essentially are propaganda designed to protect the investments made by big money in the annointed candidate. The annointed candidates do not always win, because there is a high degree of unpredictability in what might happen in the run up to the convention.

And this time there is even a higher than usual unpredictibility factor, because of the split between the RINO faction ( the RNC annointed) and the conservative base that won the last presidential election in 2004, only to find that the RNC dumped the agenda that Congress had been mandated by the electorate.

We won't know until the second night of the convention who the front runners will be. And who they are depends on how the conservative wing of the Republican party swings. If they swing in unison, it will be Thompson /Hunter. If the conservative wing remains divided, it will be Romney/Paul.

I doubt that the convention will take the candidacy of Giulliani seriously, simply because he has too many liabilities as a presidential candidate, and he cannot overcome them, even with the nod from the RNC big wigs, who obviously think he is the best the party has, they certainly wanted him to name his mafia connected Homeland Security nominee to the highest security position in our nation. Would he been better than Chertoff? Well anyone would be, but we don't need mafia hit men doing the CIAs dirty work that the Clintonistas inside the CIA have kept them from doing.

I do not trust the RNC, after what they did with Tom DeLay, and the 5 RINOs whom they supported to derail the conservative agenda from the House, by having those 5 Republican Senators defuse the nuclear option of cutting off filibusters by the Dems on the issue of Supreme COurt appointments. The Dems successfully blocked many conservative judges from the federeal system. That sucks.

I do not trust the RNC in their support of the Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill.Neither do most Republican delegates.

So the question is simply this, "Will the Republican grass roots take back their party?" I am betting they will, simply because too much of the future of our country is riding on it. They must.

And if they do, Giulliani does not stand a snowball's chance in hail of getting nominated. Hunter and Thompson do.

The end game for the Republican candidates is taking shape. The convention won't be pretty, but it will be democracy in action. The delegates are already planning their strategy to take back the Republican party, and Tom DeLay is very active in the back ground on doing just that. May God speed his course.

I will keep rooting for Duncan Hunter. He is the best man for the job, and the best equipped to duke it out with the Dem nominee, who will NOT be Hillary Clinton. The left do not trust her, nor do moderate Democrats. The Dems are scrambling to silence the left, and trying to reposition themselves away from their traitorous Iraq policy, for they know it will lose them the next election, and it may already be too late for them to reposition themselves , as moonbats like Cindy Sheheen keep the left alive in the public eye.

Who ever Joe Leiberman supports will likely get the Dem nomination, and that sure as hail won't be Hillary. Joe does not like her after what she did to him in Nov of 2006 in the run up to the Connecticut election for Senator. Joe won, which goes to show you that there is a bedrock of Dem moderates who control the Dem party. The left does not and have now failed at their bid to control the Democrat party. Just as there is a struggle for the heart and soul of the Republican party, so there is also for the Dems, and the moderates have it still. Their convention will be a mess, either a rigidly controlled continuall scripted robo event, or a blood bath with Michael Moore and Howard Deaniac swinging from the chandeliers.

We WILL beat Hillary like a rented mule if she is nominated, but I don't think she will be.

I think I said here months ago that the media would be the ones who destroy Rudy, and we've been seeing glimpses of that. It's going to get a lot worse.

Rudy is to the 2008 Republicans what Dean was to the 2004 Democrats. Looking good at first, and then it's crash and burn.

What would Dodd bring to the table?

Hillary will appear more manly and competent when they appear together.

You’re so wrong—unborn babies aren’t invisible to Hillary. She considers killing them a sacrament, the bloodthirsty lib death-priestess.

I mean, seriously, is this a joke? George Washington would look at this bunch and say "What the heck did I bother for?"

Rudy would make a good Commerce Secretary, going up against the Chinese. But thats as far as his history and talent will take him.

He's done. But then he might decide stupidly to run as an independent, which would ba a disaster. I don't think he will, because he will be given a cabinet position. Maybe Attorney General or Sec. Commerce.

I agree, wolf ... but the masses are not aware of that particular understanding ... they're graphically oriented.

I think THAT should be our angle.
