The polarizing express
The online retailer Cafe Press, which allows users to sell their own products over the Internet, currently stocks 440,000 unique items relating to Hillary Clinton. Feeling the holiday spirit? You can purchase the “Hillary Is a Devil” Christmas ornament. If you’re more sartorially oriented, grab the “No Way in Hellary” shirt, tastefully emblazoned with a red sketch of Clinton flicking out her forked tongue. Or go in the opposite direction.

I also note that Tim culls the most damaging headlines for their graphics.
Now they are on to immigration.
It don’t mean sick-em how many votes you get in RAT states that a RAT will win anyway.
If you lose the south you lose.
“Not true - Fred is not avoiding Oreilly”
whether he’s avoiding or not he wont go on Fox News during primetime, and I am sure that is why Fox News doesnt like him.
Thank you for your kind words. Just like any liberal, Brinkley is appealing to emotions and sympathy in his quest for attention.
Again?

Fla. Woman has 10 Husbands,
Charges Say
The honeymoons are over for a 26-year-old woman who authorities say has at least 10 husbands. Eunice Lopez has been charged with bigamy, accused of marrying 10 men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them, federal immigration authorities say. The Miami Herald reported Saturday that a records search by the newspaper found seven additional marriages under the bride’s name and birth date.

Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani
are struggling to stay front-runners

For example, Russert wanted to know how Mitt could accept Bob Jones endorsement, when Jones has called Mormonism a "cult". Mitt says all religions compete for hearts and souls, but despite his disagreements Jones thinks Mitt still be the best President. Mitt perfectly turned negatives into positives. Russert may in fact rue his questions because of the classy way Mitt answered them.
For some reason, Russert didn't typically try to shut Mitt down when Mitt properly reframed Russert's misleading questions. I don't know if it's Mitt's commanding presence that made Russert cower ?, but I thought Mitt shone.
Thompson on Face the Nation
I have another theory. I think Fred is think about four moves ahead of all of us. He wouldn’t trade places with Huck right now, because Huck peaked too soon. Call me crazy, but I believe he’s pacing himself, a strategy that requires enormous discipline and nerve. O’Reilly will come around - but it’ll be on Fred’s terms.
Thompson on FTN, 10:30 est on CBS.
I agree with that. I can find almost no one who likes him...at all. I want to know how they are doing these polls that run counter to everything I am seeing and hearing.
