Hillary as a JUDGE? Perish the thought!

Hilary has a right to be worried. Anyone who can beat Alan Keyes in a head to head campaign is a formidble opponent indeed.

[...] Ian blogged this yesterday but I got a solid e-mail from a friend about this this morning so I’m going to post on it again. My politically savvy pal advises us to prepare for full-blown Obamamania: He has as much star quality and friendly media coverage as Hillary but, unlike Hillary, he opposed Iraq war from the start. That is a huge advantage. [...]

Do we need people like this choosing our Commander in Chief?

No, but it’s good to have them pick the Dem candidate, though.

I suppose. I am mildly concerned about Obama because of this bizarre “rock star” phenomenon the media is whipping up over him. He doesn’t have enough of a record to really show his faults, which will be to his advantage (assuming he doesn’t say something incredibly stupid during the campaign). People seem to think he’s good-looking and charismatic. That’s all it took for Bill Clinton, after all.

But, in the end, I just can’t see the American people electing a president whose middle name is Hussein. Not at this point in history, anyway.

The early primaries are for the losers who don’t have hoards of deep pocket libs to write checks for them yet. Hillary is above that. All the groundwork she will need is being done in editorial board rooms and talk shows.

If she runs, she’ll probably burn through all her campaign funds during the primary…. what then will she try and win the presidency on?

Hillary doesn’t need to “lay the groundwork”. The red carpet and crown will be handed to her when she’s damned good and ready to take it. How dare anyone even think of challenging her.

That’s a bit incredulous after having spent over $30 million on her last campaign – which she could have won for $30 bucks. I think Hil could easily give Obama a run for the money but in the end would lose to him anyway. I don’t understand why folks just don’t realize this country is not ready for a female president – in particular, THAT one.

Hillary will never be SCOTUS… she’s have a hearing and need to answer questions. That is show stopper for her!

When she runs for POTUS, and yes she is running, watch how she gets a pass by the MSM on tough questions. But in the SCOTUS hearing she won’t have that luxury.

Yes–cultists! Excellent description. That’s what the people who just want to touch Obama remind me of.

Was anyone else sort of creeped out by the people who “just want to touch” Obama? Do we need people like this choosing our Commander in Chief? These are people apparently so easily awe-struck that they get woozy over a rookie politician about whom they know almost nothing. Creepy.

Clean up an Iraqi? Just one? Must be a real dirty one…….

“She’s been quiet and, you know, there’s a question that we all hear is that she may not get in this if Barack Obama gets in.

Bogus. Her entire life, her marriage… everything has been about being POTUS. She exists for this alone. Don’t be surprised if it looks really grim for her and Obama joins the Clinton death count. I’m serious.

I think it’s a smart move not to run. ‘08 will be a horrible year for Presidential candidates on both sides and if the next President is going to have to clean up Iraqi who wants that job?

Hilary should stay in the Senate, consolidate her power, and probably be majority leader by ‘10.
