| Bush victory leaves Hillary pondering her future |
| 2004-11-03 |
| NEW YORK - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's stock as a potential White House contender jumped dramatically Wednesday as fellow Democrat John Kerry called President Bush to concede the 2004 election. ``Democrats nationally have to look to her. She's the only star they have,'' said Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic strategist who worked on President Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. There was no immediate comment from Sen. Clinton on Kerry's loss and her future. |

| #12 I'd like to see more asian-american candidates, preferably non-lawyers with some success in business and/or expertise in foreign affairs. Time for us to recognize that, just as the locus of power in this country has shifted south and west, the axis of history has shifted to Asia. |

| #11 The Republicans must position their next candidate early on in a prominant position with lots of public appearances both live and TV. The recognition factor is necessary in that Dick Cheney is not a viable candidate considering his health. I would think a person with just a bit more centrist position on the economy while retaining the moral position of Bush would be the way to go. After that perhaps a minority as a VP would pick up votes from either the Hispanic or Black centrist grouping. With four years just about anybody can be setup in this area as far as position, but the charismatic TV appeal has to be there to begin with. This may sound abit too James Carville for some but it has to be considered in the reality of the political scene. Yes we will probably be facing Hillary and Obama in 08 as the likely candidates. Now is the time to plan and prepare. Hope is not a plan, so don't say "I hope we have a good candidate in 08" |

| #8 As much as I like Arnold & Rudy I wonder if they aren't a bit too centrist to fire up the base that just put Bush back in office. A week ago I was 100% certain that they and those of their ilk were the future of the Republican party. Today I'm not so sure. |

| #2 "Democrat John Kerry called President Bush to concede the 2004 election..." English is so inexact. Last night I went to bed feeling pretty good about Bush's chances. At 5:30 am I woke up and turned on the tube and that sentence was the first thing I heard. It sounded a hell of a lot like Kerry was calling for Bush to concede. I was halfway to Austrailia before the other news straightened it out. |

| #1 "She’s the only star they have..." Without some serious realpolitik injections into her party, she'll remain a very dhim star, too - as the MSM declines in influence. She won't go far without a functional mainstream party. And if they're stupid enough to make the same dhimwit assumptions (can you say "2004 Exit Polls"?) about a New York Senator as they were about a Mass Senator, well, they'll get their heads handed to them on a platter again. I think "fly-over" America has found its voice. The Dhimmis must change or die an ugly political demise. I believe the WoT will make them and their wacko agenda even more marginal / fringe over the next 4 years. Go get 'em, Rove. Infiltrate now in the confusion, heh. |
