Howard Dean and the DNC call these "moderate mainstream voters."
George Allen looks good, but it is still early.
And then the strategy will be to split the Republican vote. Mrs. Clinton needs to be taken very seriously.
No, he might go for a 3rd party run, but even then, I don't think he would. I think instead he'd undercut whoever beats him, just as he has done to Bush the last 5 years. I do think he will be tempted, but I think Hillary (through her well-funded proxies) will find someone else to siphon votes away. Maybe someone like Perot, who was not on the radar screen at this point in the '92 race. A Trump or someone like that, who, after Hillary wins, gets some big contracts or a UN ambassadorship.
Same thing happened with Giuliani. He suddenly got cancer. These things always happen around the Clintons.
If that happens, then the Republicans need to remember the lesson from Ross Perot and refuse to vote 3rd party. Let the 3rd party candidate peel off votes from the dems.
Oh Yes! You know the Obama coronation rule. Some random lib journalist puts that prophetic title to some candidate's name, and it's gonna stick WITHOUT QUESTION in every single media report up to and far beyond the election.
For almost 2 years now, I still have local news using the phrase "rising star, Sen. Barak Obama" with out any, ANY justification whatsoever! I'm still waiting, but it seems to me the only rising Obama did was AFTER the media coronation party for him, when he ran virtually unopposed against a last minute candadate to win the election.
I thought about that, too, but I can't imagine Rudy caving to threats from the Clintons. Maybe a whole lot of money but not threats.
Actually, if I remember correctly, someone from the DNC reported to a journalist covering the convention that Obama "was a rising star." Then that was it!...We then heard "rising star, Barak Obama" for the next two years in the media with no justification. What a freebie! How would any politician love to have 'rising star' in front of their name for not doing a single damn thing but breath!
IMHO,( and I have my asbestos suit and tin foil hat on as I type this) Mclame will be Queen Hillary's VP.
do you really think mccass's ego could handle the beast?
is he that stupid that he doesn't realize that he will be treated the same way that jfk treated lbj and lbj treated hhh? could he handle the tag team of the beast's and the rapist's daily verbal abuse?
"Us pubbies are hoping she is the dem nominee."
I don't want her anywhere near the Presidency. Not worth the risk. I'm considering switching my registration to Dem so I can vote against her in Maryland's primaries.
"Dean torpedoed himself - YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
No, the MSM sabatoged him by playing that out of contect over and over and over again. I think the lib reporters on the campaign trail discovered what a loose cannon he was and conveyed the fear that Dean would self-destruct against Bush. I don't like Dean, but I think the media deliberately ran him off the tracks.
PING
You stand no chance against the power of the dark side"
I fully expect Hilly to go into a full blown narcissistic meltdown.
She went to Rochester, NY last week...Dem Town and also a welfare town. Pop 30,000??
If it wasn't for Bubba, we'd all be saying.....Hillary who??
On 9-11, we all learned which of them was a leader.
I just found his book, "Leadership" at an estate sale...$1....How lucky am I ?
I can't think of a small town in upstate other than Albany, well besides here in Rochester that went for Hillary!. As far as Rudy and his wardrobe malfunction, I think it was prostrate cancer that was cited as the reason for his withdrawal.
