Hillary Lurches Leftward: An Early Abandonment of Her Centrist Strategy

The 2008 Democratic presidential primary season has gotten off to a good start . . . for the Republicans. While political professionals of both parties see the 2008 election as very hopeful for the Democrats, there is no such thing as a lay down hand in presidential politics. Both parties start off with a minimum level of support of 45 percent. The battle will be for the remaining 10 percent of voters who are probably moderate and less attentive to the daily news.

Unfolding events will, of course, be critical; and it is in this area that professionals, expecting continued deterioration of our position in Iraq, see the Democrats' justified reason for optimism for their 2008 ticket.

But the presidential elections of 1948 (Truman/Dewey/Thurmond/Henry Wallace), 1960 (Kennedy/Nixon) and 2004 (Bush/Kerry) all demonstrate that the positioning and performance of the candidates can provide victory to the shrewder and better performing candidate, even if he or she faces an adverse national and world events topography.

She can always swing back towards the center when it's expedient.

Gad; is she the ugliest thing on two hefty legs or what?!? And a major loser to boot. Just keep trying to hide that massive ego under those pantsuits, PIAPS!

What? She move from a Leninist to a Stalinist??

Hillary is more like Rasputin I think. She was Billy's "inner voice" and she regulated policy from behind the curtains.

Philosophically, she is very much a Marxist.

Very nice graphic Phil, and never let us forget Barbara Olson and her great writing.
