Hillary's Hat in the Race?

[You Dirty Rats]

The problem with Morris's thesis is that the calendar for candidates is much tighter than in 1968. Kennedy entered the race long after the New Hampshire primary, and won California in June. Shrillary is running out of time and I'd be very surprised if she enters now.

[JohnHuang2]

Good point.

[gridlock]

Fearing that the train was leaving the station without him, the famous senator hastily revised his plans and jumped into the ’68 presidential contest and led a national crusade to oust the incumbent. The unknown but venturesome candidate was shunted aside, and the senator mounted what promised to be a formidable challenge before it was cut short by a bullet.

I went to a garage sale and there was a broom for sale. I asked them if Hillary had been there and had forgotten it? I just couldn't help it but it made me smile all day!!

[surrey]

Every time I think of Hildebeast becoming President my first thought is....Commander in Chief? NO WAY!!!!

[Sacajaweau]

She's not out of time because she's got the purse. With all these candidates pulling in dough, it can likely be converted to HER or she can simply hold everyone's cut of the DNC money. SHE CONTROLS THE PURSE!! She can wait until after the next State of the Union.

The other difference between 1968 and 2003 is that this country has had 35 more years of population migration out of the Northeast and Rust Belt states, which makes it even more difficult for a senator from New York to win any kind of nation-wide election.

...The president has skillfully moved to preempt such Democratic issues as the Medicare prescription drug benefit, generic drugs and racial profiling and has made taxes a key issue for the ’04 contest by sunsetting his tax cuts,...

In other words, he became a democrat.

... but he still lacks a key domestic issue to use in ginning up his support. I have always felt that immigration reform to keep out terrorists...

Ain't gonna happen


...and drug testing to cut demand to dry up the funding for narco-terrorists would serve him well,...

What are we advocating here? Lining up all the sheeple and testing them all? How Stalinesque, Dicky Boy.

[mewzilla]

LOL!! If she runs for prez I'm making a plywood Broom Hilliary and sticking it out on my lawn.

[smiley]

The only way Hillary and her minions will run is if the democrats can find a way to cheat, lie and steal the 2004 election....wouldn't put anything past the clintons just on cheating alone.....they've certainly done it before....

This is exactly why president Bush can lose to Hillary. Hillary can say, "eight years ago I presented a better solution.". She doesn't have to even defend socializing medicine anymore because "W" has already conceded the debate by socializing drugs - every argument that George has made to subsidize drugs to the wealthiest generation can also be used to advocate even more encroachments on the private medicine. Hillary can beat "W" on this issue, and the GOP has given away any argument against it.

When it comes to racial profiling, the Demoncats win this hands down. The GOP has a long standing reputation of being a bunch of Trent Lott racists. Truth means nothing here, it is all perceptions. The media has trained the voting majority that Demoncats are the go-to party when it comes to "properly" dealing with race. The Demoncats own affirmative action. George Bush conceded the argument about AA when he celebrated the SCOTUS decision to encourage reverse discrimination and racism. So the GOP can't challenge Hillary on a traditional Demoncat issue. Score this one for Hillary.

...but he still lacks a key domestic issue to use in ginning up his support.

Here is how George Bush will lose his reelection to Hillary. Outsourcing. We have been hearing the media drumbeat on this thing now since the beginning of "W"'s term. We didn't hear about this from the masss media during Clinton/Gore. I am convinced that why we hear it now and not then is because this is the secret weapon of the Demoncat party. It takes years to build such things properly and this one will work. It doesn't matter if politicians of both parties have been receiving campaign money to screw their constituents and bring prosperity to our enemies. The GOP has conceded the argument that business can do anything they want to make a profit even if it includes replacing everybody except the top executives with foreign labor. "Profits" have always been a dirty word of Demoncats, and painted properly, in this stagnant economy the blame will be placed on outsourcing. The trick is to not get the union people happy to see white collar employees finally get the shaft too. Perceived protectionism is the key here. The Libertarians and the neo-cons have long preached the gospel of exploiting third world labor and sabotaging American soveriegnty and sacrifcing autonomy and national security on the altar of the almighty dollar, so we can count on these people to hand Hillary this issue, and countless voters on a silver platter. Score another big one for Hillary

Here is the most crucial point. George Bush has alienated if not outright piss-off much of his "base". I won't vote for Bush because of his treason concerning immigration issues, the huge Soviet styled approach to medicine, and his Stasi like philosophy towards national security. I don't like him sending troops to every God-forsaken corner of the planet for no apparent reason other than someone dared him to do it; and these tax cuts, though necessary, are more symbolic than practical. They are too small to show up on the economic radar, they are sunsetted which means that businesses and the Producers are going to make only short-term plans rather than long-term plans - the very reason why the US economy is dying; and because of "W" signing every pork laden spending bill that crosses his desk, is racking up massive deficits which the Demoncats have been highly successful in associating "tax cuts" with "record deficits". It will be a cold day in Hell when we see another "tax cut" again because of Bush's mismanagement of this issue.

So given that people like me wouldn't vote for Comrade Bush (rather stay home or vote for representatives and local politicians and leave "president" blank), will Hillary's presence in the race bring us back in an Anti-Hillary vote; where we hold our nose and pick the lesser of two socialist liberals?

The fact of the matter is, economic confidence does not emanate from the oval office, it comes from Jay Leno, the New York Times, CNN, and cultural/social icons. There is a huge amount of cash sitting in money market funds just waiting to be put into the stock market. Consumer confidence being what it is, that cash is just going to sit. With a demoncat in the executive, the media usually publishes roses and sunshine in the newspapers, television and other modes of public mood manipulations - that is what is going to get the cash back into the stock market. Hillary comes in, you can bet I am going to buy low (because the entire election campaign will scare the living hell out of people and investors), and when Hillary wins, I will let it ride for a couple of years and then bail out of the stock market and out of the country, leaving the smoking ruins of a great nation to be picked over by the scavengers from the third world.

[aShepard]

Nah!

Camelot and the Kennedy charisma rubbed off onto Bobby, despite fat Teddie's attempts to show the true nature of the Kennedy clan.

The sleazy way that Klintoon left office in a flurry of pardons, with trucks carting away our furniture, is still ingrained into too many rats.

Shillery just doesn't have the positives surrounding the Klintoon name, unlike Bobby Kennedy

[Radioactive]

Hillary has more money dthan all of the other candidates combined. She is running. BET ON IT.

[q_an_a]

The reason nobody is hiring Dick Morris to run their campaign is bs like this.

[firewalk]

The reading list is long but you can start with the late Barbara Olsens "HELL TO PAY", Ann Coulter's two books, SCANDAL & TREASON" both excellent - on to Carl Limbacher's Hillary's Scheme.

Hello yoe
I see you're a reader like me...

Hillary will not be elected President.
(won't be able to cheat, lie,bribe, or steal her way in either)
Not in 2004, and Hillary will lose if she runs in 2008.
(for some reason though, I don't think she'll run in 2008)

[jriemer]

We are living in a media age (which includes radio hosts, TV personalities, reporters, punits and columnists) that if a person in question is not quoted as saying something - it did not happen.

The "Arnold not running for Govenor" flop is no different than the Washington Post saying with third-party sources that Powell was going to resign or the NYT employing reporters that just makes up stories. If someone hasn't come out and said something, everything up to that point is rampant speculation, wishful thinking or raw fiction.

[rrrod]

yeah ..bring her on so we can get rid of the clintons and clintonistas once and for all....good riddance to the RATS!

[Richard Kimball]

The bloom will have faded and the honors gone elsewhere. So

It's hard for me to imagine there ever having been a bloom on Hillary's rose.

[You Dirty Rats]

The candidates that have been running for months and will run for another five months are not going to just give up and hand over their money to her sometime after Late January. In addition, she would not be able to get on ballots betyween Late January and early March, by which time many of the states will have had their primaries.

[vaudine]

"get rid of the Clintons once and for all..."

It ain't possible. They live on Elm Street and every day for them is Haloween.
