Hillary seems to be moving in the direction of becoming the Ted Kennedy of New York, as least as far as her Senate seat goes. It seems that a certain number of voters will suspend their reasoning ability, or what little there is of it to begin with, and re-elect her repeatedly no matter what, just as they have done with Kennedy in Massachusetts.
Can a base in this type of state, atypical of and unpopular with the rest of the country, serve as a base for a presidential run? We saw what happened with Kennedy, and I wish I could post all the articles from 1979 declaring the inevitability of his presidency. Apparently, all he had to do was announce that he was available and show up, or at least that's what he and a lot of other people thought.
I'd love to see Hillary meet the sting of bitter defeat in her presidential run. We shall see. I find it interesting that many of the most partisan Democrats on this site don't like her. I know it's not scientific, but it's indicative of something. True, this is a heavily male site, and most men don't have a lot of love for a shrill feminazi who probably applauds what Lorena Bobbitt did. But what will the apparent lack of enthusiasm for her among some Democrats mean in the primaries and general election? Right now, the polls for 2008 are more a measure of name recognition than anything else, and the Hildebeast sure has that.
It's always funny to see Republicans talk about how Democrats have no reasoning.
