The Polls show she will have a hard time getting the Democratic nomination. They see her as a DINO and they don't want a DINO. So she must now change to constantly attack President Bush and to present a very leftist front.
Hillary violated the first rule of politics. That rule is is sew up the base then run for the political center. The problem is Hillary supported our policy in Iraq long before she discovered the Democratic base is made up of Deaniacs. And the Clintons acted like "New Democrats" when in office. The Democratic base wants unadulterated "Old Democrats".
To get the nomination she has to please the base so she is going far left. But going far left will cost her the general election. So once the nomination is won, if it is, she will have to run to the center. But that very likely will just confirm the Democratic base's belief that Hillary is a DINO. The Base will then desert her in the General Election. She is between a rock and a hard place.
The Democratic primaries are going to be very contested in 2008. They will be a contest to see who can run farthest to the left. By the time the nomination is decided the victor will not be able to run to the center.
The media actually believes their views represent the general population of voters. The media sees themselves as centrists. They will gladly let the Democratic primary contestants play the "I am more left than you are!" on national TV.
That should ensure a Republican victory in 2008.
The Democrat base actually feels that the reason their party has not achieved much since LBJ was president is they have run DINO Candidates. This time they want an openly leftist candidate and will accept nothing else. They believe that if they run a true leftist who makes no bones about being a leftist that candidate can easily win. They are delusional.
That belief will cost them the center and the right.
Based on eye witness survivors of these roadside bombs, some are powerful enough to lift a 5 ton truck and throw it across the road.
Somehow I don't think heavier vests would make much of a difference.
Huck you, Fillary.
A little off-topic, but I have seen this pic for a while here. What is the history of it? It looks like someone is trying to knock her eyes out with a blow to the back of her head.
During her husband's administration, that was the badge of honor that explained away any malfeasance they were caught in.
Agreed. I just grabbed the first unflattering Hillary pic I could find.

What was the event in D.C. years ago where Hillary had the army picking up trask? There was a bomb scare and the security guard interceded, then was arrested by the Clinton Gestapo.
"...I just grabbed the first unflattering Hillary pic I could find...."
You did good.
Watch for more quotes from her worthy of Alinsky,Huey Long and RFK.

Wasn't it BJ who cut the military budget? Wasn't it BJ who the troops didn't want to salute?
