If she wins, it will be always winter, never Christmas.

I fully expect Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States of America. Check that, I expect Hillary Rodham to be the next president of the United States of America; she's already dropped the Rodham for the campaign, as I expected, and she'll surely bring it back sometime between the election and the inauguration. Assuming, of course, that she wins.
And win she should. Last week's Republican debate demonstrated the massive problem facing Republicans in 2008, as Ron Paul was the only candidate with the constitutional fortitude to face up to the fact that the Iraq war is an electoral disaster waiting to happen. It's absolutely bizarre, as getting eviscerated in last year's congressional elections should have been more enough to convince the Republican Party that building Islamic democracies is not on the short list of the American people's most heartfelt wishes, but it's now clear that most of the Republican candidates are more committed to nation-building in Iraq than to the Constitution or preserving our own nation.
It's important to recall that in 2004, when the war was still supported by the majority of Americans, the presidential election was surprisingly close despite George Bush enjoying the benefit of being the incumbent, overseeing a friendly House and Senate and being popular within his own party. Now that the majority has turned against the war, (or at least the idea of taking on the role of the Turkish Armed Forces in ''guiding'' Iraqi democracy), the House and Senate are in Democratic hands and the president's popularity has sunk to levels previously seen at the end of the Carter administration, an electoral landslide in favor of the Democrats appears highly probable indeed.
There are two recent positives for Republicans, though. The first is the way in which the debates unmasked Rudy Giuliani, as his first appearance on the national scene demonstrated that America doesn't have a mayor and that no one outside of the New York-based media actually cares that Mr. Giuliani saved New York City after 9/11. The idea that a Midwesterner, much less a Southron looking forward to an eventual Round Two, would support Giuliani on this basis was always cretinous and Republicans are fortunate that the myth is dissipating while there is still time to anoint a different frontrunner, preferably one who actually appeals to Republican voters.
The second is Ségolène Royal's defeat in France. There is normally little to be learned from French politics, but like the Lizard Queen, the Socialist candidate for the presidency was counting on her female appeal to women voters. Royal, as Hillary has done when pressed, wasn't afraid to pull the ''poor little woman'' card out of her bra, but it availed her nothing. In the first round of voting, Royal didn't even manage to win as many female votes as the eventual winner, Nicolas Sarkozy, who beat her 32 percent to 28 percent among women.
The important lesson here is that migration concerns trump sex. While women do like to vote for other women, they are even more inclined to vote for candidates who promise to do something about violent immigrants raping them and their daughters. Just as the violence in the banlieus doomed Royal, the unending reports of illegal aliens committing murders, driving drunk, molesting children and gang-raping women everywhere from California to North Carolina should give Republicans an opportunity to win the female vote.
Unfortunately, Republicans have stupidly lined up on the wrong side of the migration issue in their incredible championing of those who come to America to commit the crimes Americans won't commit. Given their other handicaps, it is far from certain that even a Republican taking a strong position on ending the migration and deporting all illegal aliens could beat Hillary or any other Democrat, but it is almost certain that a failure to do so will ensure a Democratic White House.
Obama, being an immigrant of sorts himself, probably can't afford to take a position opposing mass migration. But Republican abdication of this pro-American position leaves it open to the Lizard Queen and any serious move to claim the Lou Dobbs Democrats will probably guarantee her both the nomination and the election.
In the unlikely event that Obama shows any signs of giving Hillary a real run for her money, don't be surprised to hear her drop the southern accent and start talking like a Minuteman. And if she does that, prepare for a landslide of epic proportions.
The only landslide I want to see for Hitlery is a LANDSLIDE LOSS!
I am about to turn in, but I believe that statement is a gross exaggeration. The losses suffered by the Republicans were more in line with normal losses of a second term, mid year election. If we think otherwise, then we are allowing ourselves to be drawn into the battle as framed by the opposition.
If anyone has the numbers to support what I have said, please post them, or the appropriate links.
Good night Freepers!
It won’t just happen by itself! People like us must work to make it happen!

That’s THE ticket!
If she wins, it will be always winter, never Christmas.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Hilliary under a landslide.
Excellent!
Gas prices is the number one issue in 2008, and the politicians better understand it. Illegal Immigration number two, and Iraq three. Believe me, if gas prices were $1.50 right now, people would care as much about the Iraq war as they do Paris Hilton. But people link the high prices to the war, both for fueling the military, and keeping uncertainty high in the oil futures market, because of the unsettled conditions in the Middle East.
But, but...I thought we “invaded” Iraq and Afghanistan for cheap oil for our SUVs? That’s what Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Al Gore, Barbra Steisand, Moron.Org and that crew keep bleating!!

Where to begin...
1. Ron Paul shares more in common with Cindy Sheehan on the war than the founding fathers. To suggest constitutional fortitude for being a surrender monkey is ridiculous.
2. The French election gender lesson is that Hillary faces an uphill battle because women don’t always vote for the Vagina Monologues candidate.
3. The Republican field with all its flaws still stands heads and shoulders above the crooks and phonies who are running on the Dem ticket.
4. Obama is not an immigrant. He was born in Hawaii. His mother was a U.S. citizen.
5. The author wouldn’t know reality if it bit him in the @ss. The “Lizard Queen” is a reference to conspiracy kook theories of Reptilians...lizard people who look like humans and rule the world.
Scenario:
Hillary is the Prez.
*We are attacked, worse than 9-11-01.
*Really, really bad stuff.
*The DEMS under Hillary have brought back U.S. troops and fleets from the Middle East.
*This results in another Clinton military meltdown.
*The ‘best and the brightest’ inform Prez. Hillary THAT A MILITARY DRAFT is a real necessity!
*The POTUS - spouse of the numero uno war-time draft dodger, wants our sons, not daughters, for yet another experiment announces; “We must save the (fill in whatever) in the world again.”
*No one answers the call to arms.
*The USA says good-bye to the U.N.
*America is reborn.
THUDDD!
Howitzer-bump to the top.
I think an anti-illegal position is wide open for Hillary!, and I agree that, if she takes it, she will sweep to a landslide victory.
Around here, illegals are likely to be cleaning their houses or taking care of their children or elderly parents.
Nice twist on words.
The only candidate that seems to excite people is an actor turned congressmen who hasn’t announced yet, and has no visible campaign staff. With the President’s approval numbers in historic lows, it doesn’t look good for the GOP.
Granted, it is a long ways out, but the trend is the DNC is going to gain seats in Congress and probably get the White House. Plan accordingly.
OK — so why, when gas prices were falling precipitously before the ‘06 election, did the incumbents take a beating?
