Yep.I don't think it's even possible for a dem to tack to the middle and win in a national election anymore.

Polarization = DIMs in the minority
Bipartisanship = DIMs in majority with country club Pubbies on their knees

Hillary is no dummy. She knows she can't win in '08 in a two person race. Her max is about 45 percent. Bill could manager 49 percent in a good year, with no war and a great (Reagan-created) economy. Just like her husband did twice, she will have to rely on a third party candidate to siphon off 6 percent or so of the GOP vote. It will either be McCain storming off the stage after he is rejected by GOP voters in the primary, or some other RINO, seduced by the siren call of the media to run because the GOP is just too conservative. See that happen, and beware. If it doesn't, rejoice in the knowledge that Hillary will go down in flames, winning far fewer states than Kerry did.

Hahahaha... Seems HRC didn't count on being held accountable for her triangulatory attempts on major issues within her own pathetic party. Hillary's been such a snappy fingered b*tch for so long that she may as well be a duck out of water when it comes to having to answer any hard questions.

And to think the smartest woman in the world thought the presidency was hers for the taking! Bwahahahaha....

If Hitlary thought voting by her "constituents" really mattered, she would have outlawed elections.

Democrats have no choice. This battle will be done on the leadership level. Right now Hitlary controls the democrat party not Dean.

In the Senate, Ms Clinton has forged political alliances on such issues as the environment and healthcare with Senator John McCain, a 2008 Republican contender. According to Mr McCurry, she is enjoying the role of consensus-maker.

Har!! I suppose it's no surprise that in Australia they don't know what John McCain is.

IMHO,( and I have my asbestos suit and tin foil hat on as I type this) Mclame will be Queen Hillary's VP. A Mclame and J F'n K ticket wouldn't have worked, because they would have constantly tried to out "war-hero" each other, instead of working together.

Queen Hillary NEEDS Mclame to cover her behind on the "weak on defense" portion of her resume, it'll be a "kum-bay-ya" ticket, and all the "Mclame-iacs" (ie squishy rino middle-of-the-road voters and the MSM) will go running to embrace it.

When Mclame FINALLY figures out that he ain't NEVER gonna be the 2008 Rep candidate for POTUS, he'll go for "revenge" and accept the Queen's "offer". VP is better than nothing, and Mclame can play his "I'm a war hero so I'm right until death" before every camera in the MSM while Queen Hillary goes almost invisible all the way to the White House.

This is the scenario that worries me. Hillary easily takes the Democratic nomination. McCain easily takes the Republican nomination.

Then something happens which causes the McCain campaign to self-destruct, and Hillary wins.

IMHO, McCain is simply such a good communicator in interview situations that IMHO no other Republican is going to be able to stop him in the primaries. But I'm not sure if he can go the distance.

The Mayor of Yonkers is going to drive Hillary nuts and this election is going to be fun to watch. She may win, but it won't be a cakewalk.

He seems to be a Republican of courage, a rare breed indeed in the Empire State!

But then, we also thought so when she made that "eff'n jew b@$tards" remark just before she was elected senator from New York.

One of the reasons we moved to NC. And we are Presyterians.

Leon Panetta, Mr Clinton's former chief of staff, said there was "nervousness" among Democrats about backing such a controversial figure at a time when many Americans believe President George W.Bush has polarised the country

Better get a more "reasonable" ticket that can win!

The scream came after Howard Dean lost the Iowa caucuses. His implosion began with his belligerent rudeness towards an ordinary citizen at a televised event in Oelwein, Iowa, a week or so before the caucuses.

Hillary can't get close to 50% of the popular vote, but she can win the way Bill did in 1992, if a third-party candidate draws off enough votes from the Republican nominee.

Yes, it was such a negativity that the avg. middle-of-the-road Dem (NOT the far-lefties) was scared off. Dean came off like a loony. Thank goodness it happened sooner rather than later.

I disagree with this leftist article re the emergence of possibles for the Rep. position of candidate for the Presidency. To prove the nation's awareness of two of these figures, one need only use a single name for each:

Condi

Newt

Either would result in Broomhilda being roadkill - a fitting fate for the witch spelled with a capital B.

"But the MSM clearly wants one of two candidates....... Hillary or McCain."

Ok by me but which goes for P and which for VP and what team are we going to run on the Republican side?
