Wonder what Dowd thought about Maggie Thatcher?

[unixfox]

Hillary may THINK she's gonna become prez but one thing is for certain, she will NEVER be a member of Augusta !!

[Man of the Right]

What Rodham has going for her is nostalgia for the '90s economy, and Clinton's political skills. However, the skills are perishable.

Hillary has problems:

1. Her association with the '70s Women's Movement. Folks who identify with it are disproportionately aging, Anglo or Jewish right or left coast professionals (or professional wannabes). That's not the demographics of the electorate.

2. Strong negatives with important contributors & voting groups. Hillary doesn't poll well with men. Hillary doesn't poll well with Jews. Hillary doesn't poll well with Hispanics. Hillary doesn't poll well with Asians.

3. The Cybil Sheppard factor. White ethnics, African-Americans, Latinos, and Asians don't name their kid Hillary. The name sounds uncomfortably Anglo. It says to voters not of English descent: Here boy, bus this table and take my used sanitary napkins to the garbage, or I'll dock your minimum wage pay 15 minutes.

Bush skates the Anglo issue with his smile, his sense of humor, his aw shucks Texas demeanor, and his use of Spanish. Ever see any evidence of a Rodham sense of humor? If she talks to her illegal Guatemalan maid, it's through an intermediary to tell her she's fired. In English.

Great politicians have great smiles. (i.e. FDR, Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton) Rodham has a perpetual scowl.

Great politicians win by persuading majorities to identify with them. Rodham's prepared to tell anyone they're a fool at the drop of a hat. And why. The words are perpetually on her lips.

The jury's out whether Rodham's a good politician. She got 65% of the Senate vote in a state that's 60% Democrat. On the other hand, there's the health care thing. Could she carry swing states? Can you imagine her eating pigmeat at a Tenneesee barbecue with a bluegrass band performing, and coming off as credible? Shaking hands with Mexicans in a South Texas lettuce field? Congratulating the parents and groom at a Dearborn, Michigan Muslim wedding? I can't. 15 miles from the Upper East Side, the Magnificent Mile, Bel Air or Marin County, she turns into a frog.

She may make it, but I think the next Democrat President will have better political skills. Could be Gore, but I suspect an unknown. The Democrats like a fresh face.

if it is mrs clinton in 2008, barring a miracle, this country will come apart at the seems. you saw it here first.

[MadIvan]

There is an answer:

Condolezza Rice for President, 2008 - America's Iron Lady

Hillary would be, quite simply, dead.

Hillary is the shrewdest and most politically savvy candidate this nation has ever seen. She is also the most dangerous foe we have ever had, bar none,and stays awake late at nights thinking up ways to deconstruct the USA. It is entirely feasible, probable, in fact, that she will run and win in '08.

Hopefully, I'll be on some uncharted jungle island in the Philippine Archipelago living on rice, fish, and mangoes when that happens, with an M1 and a couple thousand rounds in case her infernal minions come to hunt me down.

If that witch runa, I WILL be old enough to spend my "golden years" protesting from one end of the counry to the other.

Hillary Clinton is the great White (House) hope of American womanhood, and in 2008 she'll be swept into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd declares.

And you hopefully will be five years dead then.

[Dick Bachert]

Oh yeah: We want THIS reinfesting the White House again!

Hillary seen here employing the “Lewinsky Method” while scarfing a street weenie at a political function. Bill has requested that she NOT use this technique when he is in the area lest he have to quickly repair to the nearest lavatory – usually doubled over with his hat over his lap -- to avoid embarrassing himself (like THAT is a problem for Mr. Humiliation!).

NEVER FORGET: THESE PEOPLE MUST NEVER AGAIN INFEST THE WHITE HOUSE!

[Teacher317]

So CWII starts around 2011 then?

[johnny7]

Right, left, right, left. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. Yup. In our lifetime."

The woman is delusional. Maybe a good night in the sack with a real man can bang her brain back to reality.

Total soccer-mom sans kids. What a joke!

[The Wizard]

hillary will NEVER be president

[KLT]

OK, where is the barf alert! I don't see one! If that ugly woman becomes president, I'm movin to Siberia!

[breakem]

Imagine Hillary being the president the last year. On second thought...........

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Only if there's a coup d'etat. America will not elevate Hillary Clinton to the presidency. She may have fooled New York but she can't fool the heartland.

[The Wizard]

hillary will NEVER be president

[Zebra]

An anagram for Hillary Clinton is "Ill Harlot in NYC." Almost as good as Tom Daschle--The Old Scam. Anybody want to play?

[CyberAnt]

Isn't Hillary up for reelection in 2004??

If so, what happens if SHE LOSES!!!!
