3. Are they calling Hillary the front runner yet? |
|
We know how accurate their declaration of a front runner was last time when they chose one months before anyone voted.

4. HRC Is One Of The Few Dems Rudy Could Beat... |
|
And I like HRC, enough to buy her book and prominently display it in my family room but she has too many liabilities to become president...

I like her, but I think she's too divisive within the party and would never be able to beat the Repubs. I know my husband, for one, would vote for one of them before he's vote for her. Or he just wouldn't vote. I don't think she can win. My guess is that she'll never win the nomination after the primaries. Maybe as VP, but never as Prez.

15. If you want to believe the current buzz on Liberal talk radio... |
|
...it's basically "People love her or hate her. There is no gray area."
I tend to believe that. If we're talking about Karl Rove spending the next four years whipping up a fundamentalist freeper frenzy over the likes of Bill "Cat Killer" Frist and Rudy "Thank GOD George Bush is president," the word "divisive" shouldn't appear ANYWHERE on the Democratic candidate's resume.

.... the fact that I disagree with her on the issues - she follows firmly in the footsteps of her husband, slide to the right.

In a way, I'd like her in the WH because it's the only way we can get Bill back there. If by some fluke she won the nomination, I'd vote for her, but I don't think I'd vote for her in the primary -- only because I don't think she can win the election. Of course, it depends on who else winds up running.

5. Maybe that's what the whole Kerik thing is about |
|
Embarrass Rudy enough so he won't seek President and has to run for Senate to get rid of Hillary - so it's really Bush vs. Clinton redux

7. Rudy would NOT get the nomination. |
|
NE "liberals" forget that out here in the heartland no pro choice Republican stands a chance in a primary. This is especially true for one who takes his mistress to public events while leaving his wife at home in the mayor's residence. And then moves out to live with his two gay friends on the upper east side. Can we say "only in NY"? And I don't care what he did on 9-11.

9. and as far as 9/11 heroism.... |
|
Guliani did what any mayor would have done in the immediate aftermath. What counts is what followed in the years since, and neither Guliani, nor Chimp obviously, have done anything near "heroic".

10. Force feeding is what they do..... |
|
The set the agenda months before we even become aware that there is one. They report, they decide, they site their polls, they influence peddle, opinion sway and most of all lie by omission.
Again during the primaries....they will come up with conventional wisdom that will exclude any rational common sense and any real strategy for winning the big prize....the general election.
The sorriest part of all of it is.....a good 75% of the lemings will buy it....and will think they came up with the "goods" all on their own.

23. Guliani's going nowhere...after this Kerik thing... |
|
which is only gonna blow open wider. Watch and see. THIS story the media is interested in. Though it might take us to the real story behind 9/11...which could be interesting.
