Michael Moore: Hillary a Star in 2008

Conspiracy filmmaker-turned-political strategist Michael Moore is touting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party's star presidential candidate in 2008, saying that women in America would turn out in droves to vote her back into the White House.

In quotes first reported by California's Santa Monica Mirror, Moore told Democrats gathered last week at a Pacific Palisades home, "Hillary is a star. She walks into a room and it lights up."

Saying his party needed to nominate "a candidate people want to watch," Moore contended that Clinton would be hugely popular with female voters, especially single-moms. "Poor, disenfranchised, single moms - they will come out to vote if they believe their life will be better," Moore predicted. "Don’t give them a candidate with a confusing message."

The single-mom vote is critical to the party's success in 2008, he said, because they make up a disproportionate percentage of the 70 million people who did not vote in 2004.

The conspiracy filmmaker does have one problem with a Clinton candidacy, however, complaining that she’s been hawkish on the war in Iraq.

Only liberal women, and they're going to vote for the 'rat candidate anyway.

[Roccus]

Right you are!
Those who dismiss her as easily beatable, do so at their own peril.
Make no mistake about it, she and her 'brown shirts' are a powerful force to be reckoned with.

[Thebaddog]

I'm loving the fact that MMoore fashions himself a spokesperson for the democratic party. Can it get any better than that?

[EagleUSA]

Yes, they would vote for Karl Marx or Joseph Stalin too, if one of them was WEARING THE DEMOCRAT NAME TAG!!!
The far-left libs are going to have to clean house before they have a candidate that is NOT A MARXIST and appeals to America, and not its sad, leftist fringe. I don't see any Americans in the Democrat camp --- except for one -- Zell Miller.

[Mr. K]

I hope he is as right as he was this past election.

Why do democraps listen to him again??

[t2buckeye]

Considering how WRONG he was about the 2004 election and the facts (or lack of them) in F9/11... I say he'll be just as wrong in his prediction that all women will vote for Hillary....especially if Condi's in the picture.

[OldFriend]

LOLOL.....how long till her thighness distances herself from Moore the boor.

[Seaplaner]

"...Hillary! is would be the best candidate ever. For us..."

Respectfully, folks, I disagree. Hillary Rodham's (I'm predicting that she'll change her name to jettison "Clinton/impeachment/pardon baggage) tentacles reach deeply into NEWS and INTERTAINMENT media, as well as EDUCATION and BIG LABOR. She will be a formidable candidate because information she controls.

Compounding our problem will be potential renegade Republicans (I suspect Mc Cain, but there are others) who could be easily manipulated by the Clintons to run as a third party for some spiteful self aggrandizement.

It's going to be a real barnburner of a 4-year campaign. Freepers, fortunately, are up to the task!

[Future Snake Eater]

I guess Moore decided to ignore Ralph Nader's accusations of Moore being a shill for the Democrat Party.

[Fenris6]

"She will be a formidable candidate because information she controls."

And because she's clever like a fox. Her campaign wouldn't have made any of the mistakes that Kerry's did. And she's already re-inventing herself as a "moderate".

[RBroadfoot]

This is TERRIBLE news. The Moore endorsement will likely torpedo Hillary's chances for 2008.

She's my favorite Democrat because her negatives are so high that she doesn't a chance of winning if she were nominated.

[GOP_Proud]

Oh, please endorse me, Mikey. Please!

...and BTW, don't you throw me in the briar patch either.

Let's just hope the DUmmies stay in the dark.

[Hildy]

Yea, keep talking Mikey boy. Given the Clinton M.O., I wouldn't be going on any long trips if I were you, Mike! TOO FUNNY!!!!

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Consider Dean and ask how she takes out Moore.

[God luvs America]

Ah..the kiss of death! Anyone familiar with the curse of the Sports Illustrated cover??? Fata$$ is starting his own based on foolish political predictions...."Hillary is a star. She walks into a room and it lights up." .....at one time they said the same thing about Jim Morrison and look what happened to him!!

After listening to Dick Morris on Fox last week, I started worrying about Hillary. By the time you are done with four years of the media touting her, you'd think that she was already President and you'd be voting for her "re-election" rather than her first time round. But, here are some questions about her run:

Which Southern states would she carry?

Between now and the 2008 election, about 1.5 million of our current sr. citizens will die. That is the most liberal generation because they remembered FDR and the Dems during the Depression and WWII and many were union guys during the 50's and 60's. This is also the age group most opposed to changing social security. They decrease in population while....

The ranks of people who are now freshmen in high school will become the voters of 2008. The younger age groups are the most willing to change social security (71%), which is the beginning of the dismantling of the programs Hillary and the Dems most need to keep their power base solid. Furthermore....

Within four years many college students of today will be working, married, and have children, a naturally maturing process. The stay-at-home-mom is not an abnormality within that age group, and that is one group of women that does not relate to Hillary.

Out of wedlock births are down--lowering Hillary's "single mom" base.

If she thinks that she can re-package herself as a conservative, she better think twice. First, there are a million miles of footage showing her ranting and raving about abortion, gay rights, blah, blah, blah. Also, real liberals within the party won't like that and will give her a fight. Think Dean is going to just roll over for the Clinton's? Plagarist Biden announced he's going to run in '08--think that is just to be her VP? These guys have egos, too, and they covered Clinton's rump before. Are they going to bend over and take it again without a fight? Almost everytime Clinton campaigns for someone, he loses.

Hillary will get loads of money and constant free media attention, if anybody is still watching four years from now. She will not get the "women's vote" that they think she can bring because her new swing will turn off as many as it attracts. She will not get the white male vote and the black voters marginalized themselves after this election. (Blacks are becoming a smaller percentage of the population anyway.) Think Hillary is going to start speaking Spanish to attract Latinos? Think she's going to be able to bring up some new great plan to solve a national "crisis"? She doesn't want to revisit Hillary-care.

In the end, Hillary getting the nomination muchless winning the Presidency is not guaranteed regardless of how any Dem or pollster wants to spin this.

Our job is to keep being visionaries, moving in the right direction fighting the good fight, and finding the best candidate to battle such evil.

[MHT]

I fully expect McCain to be part of an '08 ticket. My questions about him are twofold--what about his health and battles with skin cancer and what about his wife's (mental) health? Are they up to the demands a real run would take?
