Well phrased: Wonder if the she has any friends left in the MSM after this column?
Yup, Hillary did want Obama to lose, but she can’t be happy at the specter of Palin on the scene having come out of nowhere.
Palin brings out another problem for Hillary. Aging has not been kind to her and Palin or not, hillary may be too ugly to run by the time 2012 rolls around. Palin just amplifies this.
She’s nailed it!
She will have to hope for a McCain win and pray that he tries to run again in 2012. She has a shot at beating him, but if he serves one term and she faces Palin then it’s MUCH tougher.
But it’s her only shot.... she is left hoping McCain both wins and survives to run again in 2012.
Maybe she will mail him lots of vitamins :-)
“Aging has not been kind to her and Palin or not, hillary may be too ugly to run by the time 2012 rolls around.”
I am no Hillary fan, but I simply hate the fact that looks play an important role these days.
Abraham Lincoln would have NEVER become President in today’s society.
I really don’t care what Hillary looks like. It’s her policies that I don’t like.
Yup, a sad fact of life, but it's different in Hillary's case. We have watched regularily since '92. To my point, she has aged quite a bit since then. it was really obvious when she had her book cover airbrushed.
Men, on the other hand, don't have the aging problems that women do.
O M A M A
I agree that looks shouldn’t matter. I don’t like Hillary’s policies and all the Clinton garbage that would have come back to the White House if she were president. But I agree, it’s a cheap shot to talk about Hillary looking older. Of course she looks older than when she and Bill campaigned in 1992. How many of us look the same as we did in 1992?
I really don't care what Obama looks like. It's his socialist positions I don't like.
and I hope she doesn't start like some here have...
I as a long term freeper will go on record saying Hillary has a pretty enough face when done up as a middle aged woman not falling asleep.
She looked nice enough at her speech in Denver for 60 or so...
That she is not beauty contestant material like Palin or has her pretty figure and legs is just part eating habits and more parts DNA. Cankles versus doe legs is just a luck of the draw.
but to be fair....Thatcher was pleasant but no beauty yet fairly effective...

ummm one reason why Palin is so energizing is that republicans were never known to be great looking. It was very easy for the left to demonize them as a bunch of old fat white guys from the 1950’s.
Palin doesn’t just have looks. She is *extremely* charming.

i saw that earlier
did not know we had a Scots late night guy
I honestly believe if she doesn't somehow assume "the mantle" this year, she's done. I don't believe she'll be the nominee come 2012, regardless. I think this year was pretty much the final statement of the DNC to the Clintons: We'll take a loss rather than hand you the power.
She needed to mount a coupe during the convention, and the Obama people cut her off at the pass by forcing her delegates to cast their ballots from the hotel rooms instead of the floor (made it easier to identify and "correct" the Hillary infidels.)
No, she was strong armed out of the nomination. If she couldn't do it now, with the level of support from her followers, I suspect her ability to grab the nomination come 2012 is greatly over estimated.
Well, here's to hoping at least.
Nancy Pelosi undermined Hillary because she is the Queen Bee of Washington. Along comes Sarah Palin who is going knock that botoxed freak for a loop when she starts in as VP
Well, NO, actually.
