"She can articulate our needs and goals better than anyone," added a Democratic strategist.

Great news for pubbies. Every time I see her I send another check to Republicans.

[CARepubGal]

Hold on a minute. Of Course Hitlary! speaks for the Dims. She is a very divisive and hated individual. :-) This may be a good thing for Republicans. Now we need to get the moderate and conservative wings back on speaking terms somehow.

Drudge Siren: (Hillary) Clinton in line for key spot

[Common Tator]

The senate positions are not worth anything. They are in the minority. Bush wants a tax cut and few other things. There will not be much on the legislative agenda in 2004. All the attention in 2004 will be on the Democratic candidate for president. Gore wants that badly. He is moveing very left to get it. They say polls show him with 61 percent approval of Democratic voters. He is a shoe in for the nomination. He will be the nominee only 10 steps to the left of where he was in 2000.

Once Gore has the nomination, he will have to defend his positions. Everything I see on the horizon says good times will be here in 2004. Look for 99 cent gasoline, and low interest rates, no inflation, and full employemt. The pubic will NOT WANT CHANGE if the times are good. That will happen just in time for Al Gore and his crew to pitch huge changes. He will want to raise our taxes, lower our security and spend more money to socialize our medicine. He and his cohorts will be defeated.

The Democrats wrongly feel that voters will want grid lock in 2004. Voters don't really want grid lock in good times, they just want no major changes. If the democrats are out their in 2004 proposing change they are will be defeated. Oposition to changes gets you elected for grid lock. Proposing changes is counter productive. If there is still danger in the air the democrats are toast. The pubilc will not trust democrats with our security.

With the worst stock market since 1929 and high unemployment the public was divided in 2002 on which party was better for the economy. The polls show it a 50 - 50 issue. The economy is no longer a democrat issue. It is now a tie. When the economy is no longer bad, it will not be a tie. It will be a republican issue as is national security. Social security did not even work for democrats.

That puts Democrats back to proposing changes where the great society feared to tread. It is not your basic bright move. I think the Democrats are toast until 2012.

Watch about 15 or 16 democratic senators in the next session. They will block Daschles attempts to fillibuster. If Daschle can't get a filibuster going, he is the one with a split party and a bum future for at least 8 years.

I do know one thing. Bush will never say it and Rove will never say it, but they intend to do a lot better job targeting Daschle's relection in 2004 than Daschle and McAuliffe did targeting Jeb in 2002.

Someone is going to pay for spending all that money and effort to get even with Dubya by going after his brother. Bet the farm that made Dubya very very angry. It was not right. And it was not fair. Someone is going to pay. The man that is going to pay is ex-Senator Daschle in 2005.

Bush may have Wellstones son do an appreciation dinner for former senator Daschle in 2005.

[Paul Atreides]

The Dims just keep tightening that noose around their necks, don't they?

[RightField]

Oh, articulate away, Hillary. The Democrats have articulated their message just fine, though. What the Rats don't yet understand is that the people "get it," but they're not buying it any more.

The Democrats simply cannot comprehend that it's the substance of their message, not the way it is "articulated" that the country doesn't want any more.

[Jimmy Valentine]

"Someone is going to pay for spending all that money and effort to get even with Dubya by going after his brother"

I still have a notion that Karl Rove pulled a "Trojan Horse" on McAuliffe by luring him into the Florida swamp. Cleaned voters lists, new machines, etc. I suspect Rove put out some disinformation and phony poll numbers to entice McAuliffe to go all out, spending a lot of money that was earmarked for other candidates.

Jeb's win was so substantial in addition to being the first time a Republican governor has won re-election in Florida, that I have to believe it was all a trap for big mouth McAuliffe.

In my opinion, the economy is no longer the factor it once was in deciding elections. Bush won in 2000 despite a roaring economy, and Bush won in 2002 despite a sputtering economy. While still important, what really matters is the culture.

Republicans have put themselves in a position of cultural leadership. That is, they reflect a moral viewpoint that most Americans seem to be comfortable with. Fewer abortions (the life issue was very big in the last election though of course under the radar), opposed to the radical homosexual agenda, pro-self defense, pro-national defense, pro-religious freedom, pro-Boy Scout, and in general against the sort of warmed-over anti-Americanism that people have started to see in the Democratic Party.

America is still divided, but the old New Deal coalitions are fading away. Fewer rich are voting Republican, and fewer poor are voting Democrat. A hot economy will not guarantee a Bush win in 2004 - but being pereceived as being on the right side of the culture wars will.
