This is the same Dick Morris that said she would not win the Senate from New York?

Oh, she'd "fix" us all right. We could all try out for the Vienna Boys Choir after she's done.

I don't think she will take the V.P. position.She's after the big prize in 2008.

I hope she does run for President in 2008. It'd be a bloodbath......and then after she was done neutering the Democratic candidates, she'd get blown away in the general election. The American public showed Hillary what they thought of her after her national healthcare initiative. The Democrats promptly lost both the House and Senate and never have regained them.

Well, since she has done not one THING to benefit us here in NY since the cow became an elected official, I think the best thing to do is elect her president of Weight Watchers.

Seriously, as a New Yorker, I wanna vomit every time I hear mention of her. She has done absolutely nothing but ride on other people's coattails since she took this position.

I still find it amazing that there were enough suckers in NY to vote the carpetbagger into office. I knew many NYers from my years at RU and THEY never seemed that gullable.

When they announced her election, I felt the urge to drive down to the city and make a sincere effort to backhand everyone I saw.
To a man, everyone I've talked to upstate has pronounced their extreme disdain for her.

At this point in time, with the Iraq sinkhole getting larger on a hourly basis and trying to plan around insanity economics, I'd consider Homer Simpson a viable candidate.

I thought Bill was the first man last time.
It amazes me that the same people who hated Vietnam baby killing soldiers would vote for the woman who made the hideous and brutal partial birth abortion a womans right.
America has A.D.D.

Not to hijack the thread, but since few men conceive babies for whatever reason, who should have that right?

As the father, I'd want the right to say no. But that wasnt my point. My point was partial birth abortion is some gruesome death of a full term child. The brain is scrambled when the entire body but the head has been delivered. Even if you were to say a fetus in not a child, its not a fetus when its only 3-4 inches from being a live birth of a child.
I'm not in the right to life mob, and I'm not going to get into an abortion debate.
My statement was a matter of more political double standards.

Hi dono,

Well, that makes me feel better, I think. But still, Morris is astute even if he isn't always right.

I've been trying to put my finger on why Hillary brings out such raw reactions. Successful people have a way of polarizing people, but I can't say she's been successful. It's not because she's a woman, I give more credit to my fellow FTE'ers than that. I suspect it's because she comes across as condescending and imperial to many of us.

regards

I don't think anyone should forget the fact that regardless of the image she projects, she has had Bill Clinton's mental strategy and handlers contributing to her career. Few people have had the ability to read the public for election purposes as accurately as Clinton does.

Our economic woes will be the deciding factors in the next couple of elections. The victors will be those who, using Clinton's strategy of offering a little bit more for the people than your opponent, concentrate on domestic issues. Hillary's handlers have set the stage for health care and other social programs being her primary concerns, important political issues in an economy shifting to lower paid service level jobs without benefits and using deficit spending to pursue foreign policy.

Be it this election or the next, the public is eventually going to be clamoring for change due to our fiscal problems. I don't know if Hillary alone has the image to carry the South and lower Mid-West, but if it does stretch to 2008 I can't think of a Republican who could muster enough popular support to beat almost any Democratic candidate running on a domestic issues platform.
