What Hillary has going for her is exhaustion. Exhaustion kicks in with any party in power for eight years, let alone one that tricked the country into war. And at some point, voters may be too exhausted to resist Hillary's relentless ambition any longer.
But by hanging back and trimming her positions, by keeping her powder dry until a more politically advantageous time, she may miss the moment when Americans are looking for someone to emerge from her cowering party to articulate their anger about Iraq or their fear about a Supreme Court that will scale back women's rights and civil rights here, as Islamic courts do the same in Iraq.
Hillary may get caught flat-footed. Or she may be right in betting that there's no need to do anything rash now, like leading.

"on a thread titled A Lipstick President"
Scary! For a second I was afraid the article was going to announce that Bwarney Fwank was going to run.

SSDD. Mo's inane ramblings are just posted so everyone can post their CZJ pictures! Of course, I don't have a problem with that, but you could just spare us all and just call it a CZJ thread!

If Hillary is the "best" mind our nation has to offer, what next? What after she serves 8 years?
The nation consumes nothing but sequels and remakes, it seems.
Living in the past won't take us forward, especially when we are not honest when we look back.

What Hillary has going for her is exhaustionNo words, she is not a threat but rather a tool. Why many on this board consider HRC a contender is beyond me.
She's not dangerous. Those that support her are. Know your enemy.

We will NEVER grow tired of opposing the Marxist-Leninist and phony Hillary. She can persist until hell freezes over, and people will appear out of the woodwork in droves to vote against her! It will be Nixon all over again and liberals whining after a 49-state landslide: [We] don't know anyone who voted for [the Republican candidate].

Hey Mo...like my new ride?
