Clinton: ‘Be careful what you wish for, Rush’ By Klaus Marre Posted: 03/05/08 09:30 AM [ET]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), buoyed by important victories in the Democratic primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, on Wednesday offered some words of warning to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who had urged Republicans to vote for her as the presumptively easier Democrat to beat.

“Be careful what you wish for, Rush,” Clinton said on Fox News.

For the second time during this campaign season, the former first lady survived what many viewed as a potential knockout punch from frontrunning Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). While Obama maintains a significant delegate lead, he was unable to seal the nominations Tuesday night, having to concede another two populous states to Clinton.

“By getting the most delegates, by having won twice as many states, by having a lead in the popular vote we feel as if we are on pace to get the nomination,” Obama said Wednesday morning in an appearance on the same network. “And it will take a little longer than would be true if we weren’t running against a Clinton, but we’re still going to end up getting it.”

However, instead of being able to focus on Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), the newly crowned Republican nominee, Obama must now continue to expend his considerable resources on the Democratic primary.

The Clinton campaign is seeking to use the breathing room the former first lady was given in polling places in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island to map out its “path to the presidency,” as a memo from strategists Harold Ickes and Mark Penn was labeled.

In the document, the Clinton team says it is “time for a second look” on the race and the candidates and argued that the “momentum has swung

"Democrats would agree with you."

I doubt that with regards to McCain-Feingold as they are the benficiary of a liberal press not subject to the rules. Republicans/conservatives are the side that really have their free speech restricted as elections approach.

You also know (if you don't you're either dishonest or oblivious) that amnest for illegals is a mixed bag with its proponents and opponents on both the right and left, for various reasons. Whatever side you're on, there will be democrats and republicans that both agree and dissagree with you.

What I was saying was Democrats do not want McCain to win.
THEY see him as a “danger” to them.
But they crossed over to vote him in. Because they thought he was the easiest target.

There are a lot of republicans complaining about McCain but when push comes to shove we will vote for him.

The WOT, gun control, and the supreme court issues will push the Republicans to unite.

The Conservatives are not Dead by any means. We watch and learn. 2006 taught us that giving in to “make” a point doesn’t work.

We will fight now, not cut and run.
