Hillary can't win. She could have possibly won in a pre-9/11 climate, but now, with a WOT that will last for years, even the Dims felt compelled to put a fraudulent 'war hero' at the top of their ticket.

[isthisnickcool]

Uh, could you maybe move the camera back a few 100 yards next time. Blech!

[mewzilla]

But Hillary Clinton (news - web sites) is the most quoted name for the next contender.

Make our day.

KERRY DEFEATED, DASSHOLE DEFEATED, CONGRESS GAINS...WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brilliant]

They might have a better chance with Roger than Hillary.

[GeekDejure]

Eeeeyuch... it's Hitlery !!!

I believe that you will see 4 years of continuous
annoiting of Hillary by the media. By the time the next election rolls around she'll ride in in a solid gold carriage with a crown on her head. This stuff is not too hard to figure out.

In light of how disastrous the last 12 years have been for just about everyone in the Democrat Party except Bill Clinton, why the hell would the Democrats be out there today looking for another Bill Clinton? The political landscape is littered with the corpses of all those people and institutions who have paid a steep price for having anything to do with him -- including the U.S. Congress, various state legislatures and governors' offices, Al Gore, Gray Davis, Mario Cuomo, John Kerry, Erskine Bowles, etc.

I'm usually loathe to give advice to Democrats, but let's be blunt here -- the dumbest thing that party ever did was hitch its wagon to a jack@ss from Arkansas who was elected to the White House with 43% of the popular vote.

Clinton would have never won with Perot (spelling?). Dole was a very weak candidate in the 2nd election (old style republican--not a Reagan type republican that could have won).

[prophetic]

MONIKA MADE HER PRACTICE.

Yeah, but if I were Bill Clinton I'd still insist that she uses a paper bag with holes over her head..

[twigs]

Other names I expect to see in the future for the dems... Obama and Harold Ford. Very nice, smooth dems with nice personalities with quiet leftist agendas. We need to have young candidates in the pipeline too.

[Free ThinkerNY]

By following the Clintons, the DemonRats will continue their descent into political Hell. They seem to learn nothing from their mistakes. Stupid is, as stupid does.

[Fudd]

But, Hillary! tried to sign up for the Marines. Isn't that as important as an extended tour of duty in Vietnam?

[xkaydet65]

Somebody tell the Dems that John Kerry with his mannequin personality got more votes than Clinton had ever hoped to get in either of his wins, and in 96 running against a retired guy. OTOH maybe I won't tell them.

[glockmeister40]

To democrats: If you think the republicans got the vote out this election, try running hillary in 2008. She is a lightening rod and is despised by most of the electorate.

University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato believes there are several reasons why Kerry lost Tuesday's vote. "One, he is too liberal, well to the left of the American mainstream on the critical social and cultural issues such as abortion, gay rights and gun control." More important for Sabato was personality. "John Kerry is no Bill Clinton. There is very little warmth there, and people didn't warm to him. A moderate Democratic candidate with personal warmth would have defeated George W. Bush easily."

So, Hillary would be less liberal, favor ristrictions on abortion and gay marriage, and oppose gun control? So, Hillary is "a moderate Democratic candidate with personal warmth?" She is everything Kerry was, only without the sincerity. Trust me, America will not go for this woman.

"John Kerry is no Bill Clinton. There is very little warmth there, and people didn't warm to him. A moderate Democratic candidate with personal warmth would have defeated George W. Bush easily."

Hillary's warm -- compared to, say, Mr. Freeze (Batman nemesis).
