Does anyone here think that black Americans or African Americans would vote for Rice in large numbers?

What are they most interested in, reality, reason, democracy, survival of America against Islamoterrorism, ethnicity or the continuation of the victim mentality governmental gravy train?

From the article:

But she still lacks a key quality that a politician can't achieve through hard work: likability. As hard as she tries, Hillary has little facility for connecting with ordinary folk, for making them feel that she understands, identifies, and is at some level one of them. You may admire and respect her. But it's hard not to find Hillary a bit inhuman.

By November 2008, the public will be so tired of the continuing mounting American casualties in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, and likewise of the claims that there is light at the end of the tunnel that just about anyone the Democrats nominate will have a fairly easy shot at winning.

"The Liberals simply can't see Hillary for the Marxist Nightmare she is. But the voters have no such vision problems."

I don't think so...in fact, as far as I can tell, Hillary has no real political beliefs in anything beyond the acquisition of power. I think the far leftists see that as well as we do. It's the murky middle that really never follows politics that get easily confused.

the Democrat fringe groups will vote for a zombie as long as he has a "D" after his name.




They already did-John Kerry. ;)

You will see Bill's face in the MSM more than Hillary's, and Bill does know how to win.





I've said that for the last 6 months and everyone just laughs at me. I don't think anyone will be laughing when it starts in earnest.

Why can't she win? Because people who have never voted and never intend to vote again will show up at the polling sites to vote against her like they're cashing in a winning lottery ticket.




I say white males , rather than "people," as I believe you're going to see the largest registration to vote by white men (as you said, to vote against her) in the history of elections. She brings out that kind of anger.

Camelot issue of Bill Clinton BACK INTO the White House is ALWAYS NEVER mentioned.. (Jaws theme).. Must simply be too scary for most "HERE" to formulate words.. (or is that Comealot..) no matter, the issue IS not ignored by most all future Hillary voters..




You're a damn smart man, hose.

"We are going to takes things away from you for the common good!"

This slogan needs to be on the front burner whenever she opens her mouth for a statement. Keep it alive!!!

"But if she can't win, why can't she?"

Because she doesn't like to campaign and really never has yet. A lot of folks seem to forget how she was pretty much given her Senate seat. Her campaign kept her pretty much insulated from the realities of a traditional campaign: her audiences were carefully structured, her press interviews carefully planned out, etc. Everything was carefully orchestrated.

She could never run a presidential campaign in that way.

As for Hillary, the loony left may get mad but I have no doubt they will vote for her.


So what!??! That will NOT be enough. There is something called the red States!!!

Hillary can win simply because she's very likely to be the Democratic nominee. John Kerry had to be the worst candidate since McGovern or Mondale, and he came this close to winning it all. By just having her name on the general election ballot gives her a chance at winning.

How much of a chance? Depends on who the Republicans run. Depends on what type of candidate Hillary turns out to be. I imagine Hillary will be a lousy candidate, because she's unlikeable. However, that'll be evened out by the media propaganda machine behind her. If the GOP runs a weak candidate, or there's a 3rd party spolier in there......I don't like to think about it.

It was a member of Hillary's own staff who commented on how they had to keep her insulted from the unscripted press and crowds where they didn't control the audience 100%...because Hillary doesn't like situations that aren't totally under her control. She got the NY Senate nomination basically be default.

The only way she could receive the Democratic Presidential nomination in the same way is every other big name Democrat was willing to set aside their own ambitions for the White House and just give it to her (which I believe there's as much chance of as Hillary being Playboy's Miss September). Otherwise she's going to have to actually campaign...something she has never done and hates.

I agree, she'll be a lousy campaigner, but no Democrat is going to be a serious challenger to her. Kerry had his nomination wrapped up by, what, February or March? Hillary will have it in the bag before then. She controls the media, and she controls the Democratic cash. Richardson, Iowa governor what-his-name, Bayh, they can't compete with that. Besides, will any of them really want to take on Hillary? Bad things happen to Clinton enemies, particularly if they're Democrats.

I'm just hoping we come up with somebody who can walk and chew gum at the same time to challenge her.

But Why Can't Hillary Win? One Word...Cankles. Those who's ankles and calves have no defining position can not run; I read it in my 11th grade biology book.
