#8 Which home state would she use? Texas where she camped out or Washington.
Maybe there'd be enough if you add dots to the popcorn heh.

#10 If I was Hillary id secretly be funneling money to Ms Sheehan funds to do this. Hell, Im not sure Id put it past the Clintons do exactly that.

#12 LH, for all our sakes I hope that woman is what you think she is. Me, I'm not convinced.

#13 I dont trust any of the pols to be all there on matters of conviction, right or left (though Im inclined to think McCain is probably the best of the lot on that) But if Hillary wanted to pull a Kerry (Bush fooled me, my vote was mistaken, lets pull the troops home) now would have been the time to do it (if not before now) right?

That she has NOT done that tells me shes either A. As commited a libhawk by conviction as I am or B. Shes convinced that changing her position a al Kerry would only make her look like Kerry - shes stuck with her vote, and has no choice but to push for victory, to redeem herself or C. Shes spent enough time in Iraq, and talking to folks who know whats going on, to beleive that things really are turning a corner in Iraq, so that going dove now would hurt her and not help her.

Id say its probably mainly C, some B, and maybe even a little A.

#14 I hope you are right, LH. It's her domestic policies I'd be most worried about. That "We're going to TAKE some things form you for the greater good" line really worries me.

#15 That "We're going to TAKE some things form you for the greater good" line really worries me.

Odd. It's the "you'll go to jail if you try to hire a physician" that worries me. Hillary's instincts are indistinguishable from any other far-leftist's.

#16 evidently Harry Truman is a far leftist, around here :)

Even your pals Steve Harper and Angela Merkel arent for ditching national health insurance in their respective countries.

And Dean - isnt it better than "we'll do things for the greater good, then figure out how to pay for it later"?

In any case, its not all that likely that Hillary will end up in the White House again. Its been a long time since the Dems nominated an early front runner (excluding a sitting Pres or VP) Need I remind you who was ahead in the polls for the Dem nomination in 2001?

#17 If Hillary is smart she'll switch the debate on the whole hawk thing. For a long time the Commie left was for revolution and overthrowing fascism. She just has to tap into that:

"Yes, I supported the overthrow of a brutal fascist dictator and the liberation of millions of people. My hatred of facists does not depend upon who resides in the White House."

That's what I would do anyway, and I'd avoid running for Senate again, its a distraction and waste of resources. Bet it all on the Presidency because in 2008 there will be no incumbant to battle. PIck a successor and help them get elected to your seat so you can campaign early and be scene and grab some news cycles but save the energy and treasure for 2008.

Yup. If Truman were around today, he'd be trying to take over Microsoft like it was Youngstown Steel. Pinko.

I can just feel the love :)

#22 I have to agree with liberalhawk in regards to Hillary's hawkishness. I don't think she would immediately pull out of Iraq and that's why she won't get elected. She told Kerry his vote against the added funding that he said he voted for before he voted against was a mistake that would not be forgotten. She is not a Conservative but does try to portray one on TV.

#23 The Dems are going backwards.
In 1968 they nominated Pigasus
Maybe in respect for their mussie mates they had to substitute Cindy, same features except that Pigasus probably smelt better.

#24 On the domestic side, even if the good Senatoress won the White House, she'd be working against a Republican majority Congress. There's no way she'd be able to push any of her radical programs through, no matter her intentions. And I'd be shocked if Ms. Single-Term Senator has the political skills to wheel and deal even a simple majority of the 495 members of the House of Representatives to get anything at all. Certainly her expert husband isn't going to be of much assistance -- he's too busy seducing the world's diplomatic corps.

#25 If LH means by libhawk "someone liberal who genuinely respects our armed forces," then Hillary would opt for torment in hell forever before she showed one shred of genuine respect for the military.

They're fit enough to lick the odure off of her shoe, metaphorically speaking, and to do the necessary grunt work that she has in mind, but she -loathes- them just as much as her hubby.

Long story short, the answer to LH's question is 90% B, 10% C, and a Capaneus in Hell talking nicely about God chance for us ever seeing anything approaching A from her.
