JFK in 1960 of course. You are ignoring reality if you think Hillary doesn't have a chance. Kerry was the archtype of the "northeastern liberal (socialist)" and came within 20 electoral votes of being elected. Hillary will be a much more formidable candidate.
Hillary will be running against a GOP vacuum in terms of incumbency and GOP candidates with national name recognition save for McCain and Giuliani, both of whom don't enjoy Conservative support. We can use all of the history we want, but we must deal with the reality in 2008.
You make good points. That's why we are here, FR mission statement. I am looking forward to her candidacy. We have nothing to fear, but criminals themselves. Identify the anti-freedom criminals. Bring it on Hillary. Thanks kabar. Off to work.
