Too late. Edwards stepped in it too many times. With his pledge to raise taxes and his hiring of an anti-Catholic bigot, who I'm willing to bet will be fired by week's end.Isn't he also on record admitting that he was too inexperienced to run for VP in 2004? And now in 2008, with no experience gained in the interim, he's running for President? I know the Republicans are viewed as the stupid party, but even they wouldn't pass up the opportunity presented there.

Hillary used to be able to put on a pretty good "Girl Next Door" (cack!) act but I haven't seen it in a while. She was trying and ended up implying Bill was a violent evil man. I should think the "end the war in Jan 2009" and "take the oil company profits" (all of them) would have killed the candidacy in the cradle, but she's still going.

Who is 'ThePolitico' and what is their agenda?
That will tell me a lot about the credibility of this article.

I hope you're right, but, as much as I hate to say it, I heard the same story in the run up to the '06 elections, and we still got clobbered. If we see the same divisions in our party in '08 that we are already seeing here today, we're going to get creamed again.

The GOP leaders earned the loss. They will need to learn the lessons of 06.

"Any of whom could beat Hillary."
Any of whom would be nearly as bad as Hillery, move us even further to the left to make socialists like you happy!

The Politico and thepolitico.com are being financed "by the deep pockets of Allbritton Communications and overseen by John Harris, the former political editor of The Washington Post, and Jim VandeHei, a former national political reporter for The Post. 'Nuff said.
Believe none of this.

1. The Democratic base is only slightly more thrilled with her then ours is, and they are more likely to sit home then ours is as well. They may be, but Democrats have been out of the White House for 8 years and in the end their base is not going to risk 4-8 more because she isn't their dream candidate.
2. She is barely over 50% in likability and in people who MAY consider voting for her and the campaign ain't even started it yet.
I agree- I think the base will fall into line, but independent voters? Many are turned off by her and I don't think she can win over the number she would need to in order to win the election. A lot of this factor will ride on the campaign itself, as well as who we nominate.
3.With the DEM's in control, anything bad that happens tarnishes them now and not just us.
Yes, but probably not equally given 1) the media and 2) the fact that most casual voters find it easier to identify the government with the president rather than Congress
I don't think that Clinton is "unbeatable", but I would say that Republicans have a tough battle to keep the White House, given the lackluster choices and voter fatigue. Voters tend to fickle and have short memories.

No, no. We just need to keep up our brilliant stragegery of bashing every Republican candidate who doesn't fit our ideal 100%, then promote an absolutely unelectable guy who does. That's the ticket.

"How is Newt a liberal?"
He agrees with Hillery on national health care(socialism).
He wants amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens, just a little slower than Bush.
