Downhill slide for Hillary?
2006-12-21
By Donald Lambro
Some Democrats are beginning to doubt Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's electability in 2008 and are saying so publicly for the first time.

The New York liberal, who is far ahead of her rivals for the Democratic nomination in all the polls, is the most polarizing figure in American politics. Half the voters polled say they would support her if, as expected, she becomes a candidate, but the other half says they couldn't vote for her under any circumstances.

Her inability to reach out to more moderate voters worries Democrats who think '08 is their year to win back the White House if their party picks a candidate who can appeal to a broader electorate. Some think she has already "peaked too soon" and will gradually see her support erode. "Hillary Clinton is going to be a formidable opponent because she is able to raise more money. But does that make you a winner? Ask Howard Dean. He was raising more money than you can imagine but ended up doing poorly in '04," said former Iowa Democratic chairman Rob Tully.

#6  The WOT/9-11 is ultimately about inducing = forcing AMerica under anti-American, anti-sovereign OWG + National-Global Socialism. Iff one believes that Hillary wants 8 years of PCorrect, Bill-style, geopol "quiet", the Hillary will NOT want to be POTUS as long as Radical Islam, etal. continues to make threats of attack agz America. POTUS HILLARY = INFANTRY LEADER IN FRONT - we all know in modern battle or general war, THE ENEMY MAKES A POINT TO KILL LEADERS OF ANY OPPOSING ARMED UNIT. DYING = GETTING BLAME IS WHAT MALE GOP-DEMS ARE FOR IN HILLARY-WORLD. As long as Radical Islam threatens America wid WMD-NBC-capable attack, IMO Hillary for 2008 will choose to be at best, VPOTUS; at worse stay a Senator from NYC. THE BLAMELESS DEMOLEFT WANTS TO STAY THE BLAMELESS DEMOLEFT - CHICKEN LITTLE > SMART POLITIX, correct. Its highly doubtful that Moud + Osama, etc will wait 4-8 years to attack the USA while US milfors in the ME destroy the best men and networks of Radical islam, and give up Regional-Global ambitions, just becuz mere-woman Hillary is POTUS of "the Great Satan" + Democrat. The OWG/Global Muslim State-minded Radicalists want the USA out of the ME unilaterally + completely + IMMEDIATELY, and iff POTUS Hillary "the Centrist", Fascist =Communist/Limited Communist, doesn't deliver, IMO Hillary and the Dems will be targeted for terror. 2008 > unless Radical Islam is either destroyed, or forced to rescind its terror threats agz America, at best HILLARY WILL "RUN TO LOSE", i.e. will PC overtly run a national campaign for POTUS but"lose" and accept a VPOTUS position. Iff any new 9-11s occur, espec agz Washington-NPE, VPOTUS Hillary will become POTUS Hillary [CO-POTUS?]becuz she "survived" while most or all of her GOP-DEM opposition [Dubya?]are glow-in-the-dark dead, injured, or post-Amer Hiroshima too scared/frightened to lead the Nation. The ME will be discarded in favor of rebuilding the Nation from the GOP-CAUSED/BLAMED NATIONAL CATASROPHE. America = Amerika is the sole cause for American Hiroshima, ergo Americans can't be depended on to govern themselves for themselves, ergo OWG where America is just one nation among many, unilaterally voluntarily = forcibly, governed by a world coalition of
Nations weirdly and mysteriously, but only co-incidentally, dominated by Russia-China. OOOOOOOOOPPPPSIES. Remember, America is not even officially SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST, or under OWG BUT AMERICA HAS ALREADY LOST 1/2 [=ALL?] OF ITS TERRITORY + 200MILYUUUHN AMERICANS, BEFORE ANY SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED.

#5  Well with Repubs. running around trying to figure which end of the gun to put to their heads, the Dems got a real good chance of winning. And with third party crowd consisting of the former Perotistas and Buchanonites starting to opennly talk third party, the Hilldebeast and Osama-bama really only need a plurality. So, welcome to the Clinton Paradise, Redux.

#4  Haven't we seen the press do these mid-term coronations before? Before a year is out the candidate isn't "new," isn't "news," and when the primaries eventually roll around the golden boys are nowhere to be found.

#2  I agree, but the Dhims are going to do whatever they have to to win anyway - regardless of who gets the nomination.

#1  ...The problem here is that if Sen. Clinton manages to win in IA and NH, the MSM will anoint her as the candidate because she has 'momentum'. The infighting to stop her would be vicious, but the Clintons are masters of that sort of thing. Add to that the fact that this time the Dems will pull out all the stops and do anything they have to to get their candidate elected, and it will be one ugly election.
