Hillary Clinton: Too Much of a Clinton Democrat?
By Markos Moulitsas
Sunday, May 7, 2006; B01
Hillary Clinton has a few problems if she wants to secure the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. She is a leader who fails to lead. She does not appear "electable." But most of all, Hillary has a Bill Clinton problem. (And no, it's not about that. )
Moving into 2008, Republicans will be fighting to shake off the legacy of the Bush years: the jobless recovery, the foreign misadventures, the nightmarish fiscal mismanagement, the Katrina mess, unimaginable corruption and an imperial presidency with little regard for the Constitution or the rule of law. Every Democratic contender will be offering change, but activists will be demanding the sort of change that can come only from outside the Beltway.
Hillary Clinton leads her Democratic rivals in the polls and in fundraising. Unfortunately, however, the New York senator is part of a failed Democratic Party establishment -- led by her husband -- that enabled the George W. Bush presidency and the Republican majorities, and all the havoc they have wreaked at home and abroad.

Yeah, especially since I can't believe there is such a thing as "unimaginable corruption" for the people of DailyKos -- they seem to have very active imaginations.
Odd that there's been almost no hint of real scandal in the Bush White house, compared to the nearly non-stop investigations during the Clinton years.
And in this century, we have -- Duke Cunningham. The democrats have -- Bob Torricelli, James Trafficant, and Gary Condit. (can anybody think of any other democrats who resigned because of scandal this past 5 years in congress?)
There's been several republicans and democrats corrupted at the state and local level.
What is the "unimaginable corruption"? It seems like garden-variety perks abuse to me.

Everything about Slick and Slickette is false.
Hillary's eye are actually brown. But she wears blue or green contact lenses to hide that.
This clown sure likes to toot his own horn, doesn't he?
Pretty funny from somebody who has yet to back a winner.
Markos can talk "polticial junkie strategery" all he wants - - Americans simply will never support the Democrat party's effort to turn the nation into a Euro-style, secular-socialist welfare state and make us as great as.... France.
Markos is a loser and always will be.
I think you meant Frahnce, which is right next to France. ;-)
Suit yourself.
I would rather vote for someone like McCain than sit out and let Hillary/Kerry/etc get elected.

Back atcha!
McCain will never get my vote. And I am willing to bet there are many more Republicans who say that also.
I hear you loud and clear. I am no fan of McCain either.
But if faced with a choice of him or Hillary/Kerry/Dean/etc, voting for a third party candidate or saying home does nothing but help the Democrat.
Principle versus pragmatism...
Well, that's what the GOP is counting on, isn't it? There are many of us who are tired of being taken for granted.
If they think they can sell us down the river on immigration and/or make us accept a RINO like McCain, they are in for the proverbial rude awakening.
