I don't necessarily agree with you, but you do make a good point.

But .. Hillary will have to moderate her stand on a lot of issues .. and if she tries to bash-Bush she may get booed off the stage. On the other hand, if she doesn't moderate herself enough .. Cindy and her cabal will show up and boo her off the stage. Hillary will be caught between a rock and a hard place - which is the perfect spot for her.

And .. Soros spent $23 mil in 2004 - and it bought him nothing.

Democrats say, "Not enough dead people vote in New Hampshire."At the same time, MoveOn and the Howard Dean wing say, "Not enough frothing, lily-white trust fund moonbats vote outside of New Hampshire." This could get interesting.

"The Democratic Party doesn't know exactly how it is going to change its presidential nominating process. But after Saturday's meeting of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee, the party has agreed, at least in principle, on what it is seeking: It is looking for states with lots of Hispanics, African-Americans, and union members that are not too big and that are not in the Midwest or Northeast."

So does anyone know of a small state, not in the Midwest or Northeast, that is full of only Hispanics, African-Americans and union members only????????

You see, if the Democrats were honest about diversity, the DC primary would be the solution. The fact is, they want a state like Illinois or Maryland. They want a state with a closed primary dominated by one or two urban areas.

You see, they hate the retail politicking, flipping flapjacks, talking to small crowds, etc. We usually consider that a vital part of selecting our presidents. If it wouldn't be for the Iowa setup, Howard Dean wouldn't have shouted at a heckler and might have been the nominee.

What they, and specifically, Hillary, want is to be able to buy a primary. She only shows up to specific, scheduled events with fans, while flooding the airwaves with ads. The other candidates will have no money to spend and can't get access to the party machine that will drive the vote.

The DC primary would be perfect for the Dems on all counts and they won't dare go for it. If a candidate who is not Hillary is smart, they will insist that the DC primary be one of them.
