So much for the new, moderate — dare we say centrist — Hillary Rod ham Clinton.Yesterday she lined up with her party's moonbat "They-Stole-Ohio" caucus to headline the first formal congressional challenge to a presidential election since 1877 — only to see the effort, in equal measures baseless and slanderous, fail spectacularly.
Thus the second inauguration of George W. Bush as president of the United States will proceed on schedule Jan. 20.
No doubt visions of her own installation are dancing in Hillary's head; that could explain her flirtation with the grassy-knoll commandos of her party's left wing: They work hard for their candidates in presidential primaries.

Even Hillary voted to certify the results — but not before a seismic fracture between herself and her colleague from New York, Sen. Chuck Schumer, appeared:
* Said Schumer: "My view is that you don't hold up the election unless there is concrete real evidence of fraud. I haven't seen that."
* Said Clinton: "As we look at our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, about its integrity, and they are not confined to . . . Ohio."
Schumer, of course, is correct.
There is no evidence of fraud in the Ohio outcome. None.

Clinton and her Democratic colleagues yesterday alleged — without actually saying so, of course — that November's election was stolen.
And that's simply outrageous.

Yea!! Check out that Washington State Governors election!!
It stinks of corruption!!
Her blatant move to suck up to the DUmmies was embarassingly hamhanded. She does not have her hubby's political skills, and this has no doubt emboldened some in her party who thought she would have the nomination for the asking. Nice move, Hil!
I'm surprised her boyfriend, Lindsey Graham, wasn't there to cheer her on.
Hillary is the embodiment of many ugly things, including the stupidity, weakness and emptiness of the Dem party. Making it worse, this wanna-be is TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY, as was her so-called husband, as he clearly demonstrated during eight years of darkness upon the Oval Office.
Let her loose - keep the fool Marxist talking - she is ONLY THERE BECAUSE OF HER HUSBAND -- her resume she would submit to be President, IS A BLANK PIECE OF PAPER. The libs have degenerated to nothing but a bunch of whining street thugs, spraying negativism, hate, and anti-Americanism in every direction. They will foreever be a black mark in our history books, at least the ones they cannot rewrite...
HILLARY LOSES HER WAY
You can't lose what you never had.
But: has she listened to her husband's opinion about the vote? Clinton-dildon said that the victory of G. W. Bush was fair, without any fraud. I know, we don't need their opinion, but it's really distressing to assist to such baloneys.
Perfect!
Hillary is pre-emptively covering her sizable ass. As '08
gets closer some will level charges that the '04 election
turned out pretty much the way she wanted it which gives
her a turn at bat. Tossing balls to the fans is one way to
show that she is a team player. Joining Babs ('My girl-
friend can't wrestle but you ought to see her box')Boxer
gives her some legitimacy when she campaigns on the "fair
elections" platform. Yes, Hillary can never be accused of
not having balls.
One issue, and one issue only, will determine whether Spawnette O'Satan wins the presidency in 2008. For no matter what she says or what she does, when it gets a bit closer, the media will rally around her and launch a propaganda campaign the likes of which the world has never seen. She will figure out what she must claim to be in order to win, and the media will blow it completely out in an effort to convince the public that she is the person to meet that need, the person who will be the greatest leader in the history of the universe.
The one issue is this: Will we be able to render the MSM irrelevant enough by then to negate the propaganda effectively enough to prevent her from winning. That's what it will all come down to.

Hillary threw some red meat to the left wing base figuring they are good for campaign bucks and the rest of the people will forget by the time she runs.
Hill had a meltdown today. It was fun to watch.
You have it correct that she displayed personal weakness when in the spotlight.
Her first display of weakness came with the electoral results of this election. Afterwards even Democrats ventued out loud their sudden concerns she wasn't a viable candidate for 2008. Today she personally displayed vulnerability that did not go unnoticed in Rep and Dem circles that haven't fallen prey to the belief this woman is invincible.
She won nothing today. She'd have the base in a new york minute. She doesn't need to pander to them. The people she needs to win she continues to alienate.
I still don't think any of the front runners for Reps or Dems at this time stand a good chance of being the candidate in '08. This includes Hill.
And if they do, the GOP has her on video to remind the public. Kerry showed better political savvy than Hill did today.
Happy thought, but at least in the run up to a nomination all
Hillary cares about is the base. This will be there and a lot
more. She is trying to present herself as a centrist. I don't see it working. If she gets the nomination in 08 that election will be even more nasty and partisan than this one.
Its a strange day when Chuckie Schumer is more rational than Hillary.
The MSM gets people into this kind of blinkered way of seeing things--framing the arguments as they see fit, and then casually dropping all of these supposedly high-priority issues the day after the election. (I mean, I don't think I've seen a single article or segment on the economy, job losses, Kerry's plan to get the troops out...all things which were sooooo important during the election.)
'06 and '08 will determine the future of the Democrat Party and many of the institutions that support them. It will be more bitter than this election regardless of whom is on the ballot.
Hillary doesn't need to convince the base she is a Liberal. She is Bill's wife and her past speaks for her. The base may be comprised of people in need of straitjackets, but they want to win an election. They dumped Dean (whom they loved) to support Kerry because he was a Lib they felt electable.
They may whine and throw tantrums as Hill pretends to be a conservative, but they would come home to her if they felt she was the best candidate to fool the American people and win.
Hill is the one Dem that doesn't have to pander to the lunactics openly, and she just did. This is why this moment just opened a chasm other Dems will be looking to enter as viable alternatives in '08. She presented a vulnerability in her new "conservative" image. The people she needs to win will be reminded of this years down the road.
She screwed up today. Only time will tell how big.
After Schumer got done Hillary probably felt like she got a wedgie.
"Spawnette O'Satan"
THAT SAYS IT ALL!
He also presumes to run against Mayor Bloomberg this fall, and clearly sees benefit in a pander to his party's wacko wing.
I think we can all agree the reason why Hillary, and a handful of rats, embarked on this futile obstruction was to placate their base. They need to do this to raise money. They can thank Moore and Moveon for this self destructive act.
Schumer just won reelection with 71% of the vote. That is why he was chosen to mute Hillary. Schumer and Hillary are buddies. Schumer just elevated Hillary to the status of godlike to the left fringe. She bravely fought for the fundamental right to vote even against the barbs and taunts of her turncoat party. She's an outsider!!!
With enemies like Schumer...Who needs friends?
