Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said today that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.-N.Y.) would be elected president in 2008 and would probably tap Senate colleague Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) as her running mate.
DeLay met with conservative bloggers at a weekly lunch meeting hosted by HUMAN EVENTS and the Heritage Foundation. He is making the rounds in Washington to promote his new blog and activism website, TomDeLay.com.
DeLay said he was motivated to start the blog and create the Grassroots Action and Information Network after observing the success of liberal organizations such as MoveOn.org, the Media Fund and Americans Coming Together. He said he hopes to utilize some of the same tools to help Republicans win elections.
It’s this liberal coalition, working in concert with the news media, that will propel Clinton to the White House in 2008, DeLay said. “Hillary will be the next president of the United States because they have built a coalition,” he said.
DeLay also implored conservatives to start digging into Obama’s past. He said Obama’s record in the Illinois Senate was on par with a “Marxist leftist.” Citing defeated U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford of Tennessee, DeLay said Obama was attempting to disguise his liberal views. (Read Amanda Carpenter’s report on Obama and his conflicting rhetoric.)
DeLay named Clinton loyalists Harold Ickes, Sidney Blumenthal, James Carville, Paul Begala and Joe Lockhart as the masterminds behind the left-wing coalition. He said that these groups, more than anything else, contributed to the GOP’s fall this November. “I have never seen a more powerful coalition,” he said.
One such example of the coalition’s power played out precisely as planned in California’s 11th District. Republican Rep. Richard Pombo was toppled after facing an onslaught of attacks from the left.
DeLay said his goal in creating the new organization is to turn ideas into action. He said he will reach out to the diverse coalition of conservative groups and bring them together to rival the coalition built by liberals. Prior to the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress, DeLay said he employed a similar strategy that the GOP has gradually abandoned.
One day after launching the new website, DeLay said he’s had 100 people pay the $52 per year to join the Grassroots Action and Information Network.
Good post. That's a pair of losers. Try swapping their clothes as Obana is the skinny one who could give Nicole Richie a run for anorexia. He is also the one doing the magic tricks now. Hillary is the one tapping her feet now just waiting for a mistake from Obana. She also has the big belly.
WOW!!!
Which of the "drive-by" L.S.M.s kool-aid did you drink???
Hey Delay: STFU you "has been panty waist!"
The idea that Hillary could be elected is not unrealistic.
All that she has to do is to repeat Kerrys performance in 04 + win ohio, which is not very tough considering the recent Dem senate and Governor wins in Ohio.
Along with Obama, who is energising dems across the country.
Republicans on the other hand are demoralised, divided and deflated. The front runners of Mccain, Giuliani are despised by the base and there is real divisionn in the party, so Dems would have to be the favourite for the 08 presidential rae.
Tom's digging for money.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
so the media isn't going to hammer someone like Brownback? they are going to praise him, is that it?
these Mary Cheney threads - to a typical american, they have the odor of some tele-vangelist deciding which women are "allowed" to have a baby. Only those with "acceptable" lifestyles can get pregnant - no lesbians, all women who perhaps just weren't "lucky" enough to find a husband should remain childless for life, etc. you think that is going to sell? not a chance. trot that plank out there in 2008, and you'll see staggering numbers of women (especially single women) voting Dem.
The polls are total frauds? Tell that to FORMER senators Allen, Santorum, Talent, and Burns.
to tune ? it was tuned this last election and was the most under written story of the century,past and present.
It is great!!!!!!!!!I can just see her taking him on fighting. LOL!
Great cheerleading effort there, Tom. Thanks loads.

Unbelievable, even if you think it don't say it.
They must have some compromising pictures of him with a little boy and a llama, or he's one of the biggest idiots to walk the face of the earth, which is it Tom?
So, which GOP front runner are you hawking, at this early date?
Rudy?
McCain?
Exactly...but don't waste your time trying to explain it to Bushbots with heads in the sand...and if the Chilldabeaste becomes president we can all thank one person for the credit of electing her and the dismantling of what Reagan meant to our nation plus a half-century took to build: GEORGE "DUH-Pee-YEW" BUSH!
Well, atleast you post a healthy debate and not attack a republican simply because you didn't like what he wrote. Personally I think Delay was trying to scare the republicans to engage in such a debate. And not for the purpose of attacking him. It's true. We need to start looking around on our side and not just seek anybody that can beat Hillary but if we dont start working on it now we may be forced to do just that by electing a RINO like Mcain.
