So, Is Hillary Toast?

Rassmussen has her down 9 to Rudy, Hollywood is breaking ranks, so what do we make of all this? In my opinion, not much, not much at all.

In a match-up between the early 2008 frontrunners, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) leads New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) 52% to 43%. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Giuliani’s lead growing in recent months.

As for Urkel here, well him you can count out. He's unelectable. From his lack of experience to his extreme liberalism - and his name, the best he can hope for is Veep. And that might not be a bad idea for the Dems. But we'll see.

Democrat front runners do not have a history of finishing strong. The reverse tends to be true on the Republican side; however, this is an atypical year. We may not even know the names we'll be kicking about a year from now come primary season.

I'm not convinced Hillary can win the General election. But with the machine she has behind her, now including an ex-President who hasn't even begun to campaign - you ain't seen nothing yet - nothing but, O., Barack Hussein, anyway.

The issue before America now is Iraq. The race for the presidency is simply a distraction, except for the candidates, who need to generate a ton of cash. And I think the Bush administration isn't close to being finished Dick smacking San Fran Nancy around. So, sit back and enjoy the fun and hope for victory in Iraq. That's where the '08 campaign may yet be settled before all is said and done.

Vice President Cheney refused to back down yesterday from his assertion that the Democratic approach to Iraq would "validate the al-Qaeda strategy," as he continued a transpacific war of words with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Speaking with ABC News during a visit to Australia, the vice president addressed the criticism of Pelosi, who earlier this week said that Cheney's remarks were "beneath the dignity of the debate we're engaged in." She also spoke with White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten to register her complaint.

"She accused me of questioning her patriotism," Cheney said. "I didn't question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment."

Hillary and Obama will render each other unelectable before this is over ;->

[darcy_lane]

When he's grinning that big grin, I think he looks more like this guy than Urkel:
Osama seperated at birth?

Then Purple, who does that leave? Edwards is a bigger socialist than Hillary.

Bill Richardson?

Dennish Kucinich? uck!

[scarshapedstar]

Urkel vs. RuPaul? You sure you thought this one through?

[Minor Ripper]

here's a video I can guarantee you Rudy would prefer you didn't see. Not exactly presidential:

I am growing ever-more convinced of the radical right's fear of Barack Obama. The best the wingnuts can do is attack his *name*, maliciously spread bullshit rumors and inuendo, and compare his likeness to Urkel. It's funny; we never see the far right loons going after him on his policy ideas. And by "funny," I actually mean, "predictably," and "intellectually cowardly."

But that's ok; the wingnuts can't run on the issues, so they'll wallow in the slime as per usual. At this point I'm not sure which sight would give me more pleasure: Bill and Hillary BOTH in the White House, or a *scary* black man with an even *scarier* sounding name (who also draws tens of thousands of people in inclement weather) in the White House.

Sweet.

[LOL]

ok dan. I think we all how your political prognostications work out (Webb-VA)... ur analysis is based on nothing. Obama will be a strong general candidate. He is up against a tough opponent tho

[Dan Riehl]

his policy ideas

Uh, that's because he doesn't really have any - not ones that sell, anyway. Healthcare and surrender - yawn!

[Legalize]

Like I said, Riehl = intellectual coward.

[Rob Kaufman]

Legalize you do realize you actually insult intellectual cowards by comparing them to Dan, and you probably should apologize to them.

[Phoenix]

And you're what, Legal? And intellectual wizard? I've never read a thing from you that was not a criticism of something someone else has said. Are you capable of original thought? Nope .. just name-calling and insult. Not a word of alternatives or logical debate from you.

" Cheney said. "I didn't question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment."

Ouch.

[eddie]

If Bush the halfwit can be elected.Obama could just as easy.He is articulate.Your scared.Hes urkel hes Barak Osama.Hes the right guy for the job.He just may pull it off.

[TheSpartan]

What was Bush's experience when he got elected? He held the weakest governorship in the country for a term...yipee.

[Phoenix]

Seems to me the less experience these days, the better. No one has anything to beat you up with.

I watched a documentary on Bush's campaign. (Made by Nancy Pelosi's daughter, ironically enough.) Seems after he won the election, there was a moment after all the jubilation when awareness settled in and the 'gang' looked at each other with these weird looks like, "What now?? Yikes!"
