MSNBC... Doing It Again! It's Hillary!
I can't take much more of this! I think I'm going to start writing all MSM and give the a HEADS UP!!!

And before you blast me, I KNOW there are MANY here who want her to be the nominee. JUST NOT ME!!

I'm just getting tired of them telling us WHO our nominee will be!!!

2. Relax!
Remember that Joementum was also the annointed nominee at one point.

4. They are more concerned with Hillary than their OWN candidate
Maybe that is a GOOD thing.

5. It seems so obvious a campaign, so deliberate, but I'm not sure why
Unless it's to keep Clinton hatred alive. Also a diversion from what's happening now, keeping the attention of the populace away from what is being done by the worst president this country has ever known. But it is so blatant, so concerted an effort by all major media outlets, that I am amazed people don't see it for what it is...

6. The MSM are out of their minds...
I think Hilary is great, but I doubt she can recover from the ruthless press she's gotten over the past 13 years.

7. She's said she isn't running and I hope she just strings them along
right up until October 31, 2008 so they spend all their time and money on bullshit.

Don't get me wrong I'd vote for her if she were to run and get the nom, but she'd be better off to sit this out and pull them by the nose for the next 3 years running blocker for the eventual Dem nominee.

10. That's regardless whether she's running or not. It'd be better if she
wasn't running (as she says now) BUT she drops hints that lead them to believe she is so they SPEND a boatload of that raised money on trashing her, which they will do anyway, but in the end they get nothing for their spending.

16. True, fob, but the RW raises more $ if their members think she's going to
be the next president if they don't fork out more dough.

Not many FOH's on DU....

20. I hope you don't think I'm not an FOH, because I think she'd make
a great President, I'm just going by what she's said, that she ain't running.

As for the RW raising money if their members think she's going to run or not, the RNC won't let a little thing like Hillary NOT running stop them from fleecing their flock by telling them that she IS running. What I am saying is if she makes a few coy moves Hillary can actually get them to spend some of that money they are going to get anyway on a wild goose chase rather than on the actual Dem Candidate.

21. Excellent idea, fob!
I agree she's going to be the RW's shakedown tactic regardless of whether she actually runs. Terrifying thing, a strong female leader.

18. I agree
I do like Hillary and would support her if she made it past the primaries and know people who would too, but I hope it's someone else even if it's Kerry again. I think it's so weird how they're all so fascinaited with a Hillary run. What are they up to indeed. I've never seen them talk about any canidate before like this. 2008 is still a good ways away. We still have next year to worry about. Mostly people who are for sure running don't officially start until the year before. They should worry about finding their own canidate and leave us alone and let us choose our own.

13. Let them.
I take Hillary at her word when she says she's not running, but while they're spending time, energy and money running after her, the eventual nominee can start the campaign without as much harrassment. This could be a pretty good thing.

19. I agree
I think it would be nice for the real nominee. ;) Too bad Dean couldn't be it but he said he promised he wasn't going to be since he's the chairman and he's so perfect for that job. Anybody could pop up then. It would be soooo funny if they spend all their time, energy and fundings on Hillary and slamming her that the real nominee wins and they don't have any money left to defend their own canidate. Ha! That would be hilarious. I just don't get it either. :shrug: I don't think she's going to run either. I think New York still needs her. :)

15. Sorry To Be So Late...
They were asking WHO might be the nominee that will give Hillary the most trouble. Referring to polls that say Hillary would most likely be the Democratic nominee, they asked the guest who he thought would be her stiffest competition.

His answer was "probably Mark Warner" because he seemed to be attracting a lot of attention. So once again, it's "who can beat Hillary"? And for the most part, Edwards, Clark, Kerry, Richardson, Feingold and many other well known names are passed over.

I may have missed something but I never heard Hillary say she wasn't running. Just this morning the subject came up and they were discussing all the people who are going to be on her "team". Mandy Grunwald was mentioned. Did I get that name right??
