For the 400th time, Hillary will not be the Democratic nominee in 2008.

If she was, she's probably pick Bill Richardson or Wesley Clark as her VP. Both have Clinton ties.

Hillary and Clark: that would be funny (two former Republicans).

Clark was never a registered Republican.  However, he does openly admit to voting for Reagan and Bush 41.

I wasn't sure of the details, so I had to look it up on factcheck.  Actually, he voted Clinton in 1992, not Bush 41.

I would be ironic to go from Kerry, who was so active against the war in Vietnam, to Hillary and Clark, who supported Goldwater and Nixon.

I wasnt sure of the exact details either.  Maybe he voted for George H.W. Bush in 1988?

Sure would.

Here's another ironic matchup:  McCain versus Feingold.  The two of them would say nothing but nice things about the other while 527s turned the race into a slimefest.

McCain vs. Feingold would be an awesome race, just what this country could use. Both would help reform government and bring honesty back into politics.

If Hillary is the nominee, she's ed anyway, so who she might choose doesn't matter.

I'd say Mark Warner, a centrist former governor from a red state or Bill Richardson, a centrist governor from a swing state.  Catch the theme here?

She's pretty libberal.  It's only in recent months that she has made moves towards the center, a sure sign that she intends to run for national office.

I think she means Phil Bredesen.  I think that Bredesen would be a good choice for Hillary, since it would be an effort to crack the South, something that Clark can't do.

Bredesen, however, isn't a big Hillary fan, though politics does make for strange bedfellows.

Hillary has a 95% - 100% approval voting rating from some of the most liberal organizations and liberal lobby groups in the country, Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), the League of Conservation Voters, a very liberal environmental organization, the American Federtion of State, County and Municipal Employees, and her pro-abortion votes, to name a few.

That tells me very little about why you consider her liberal. Because she's pro-environment? Because she's pro-choice (like the majority of the country)?

Anyway, my point is that she's really not very liberal at all. I think it's mainly a media creation.

If you want to call someone liberal that was actually liberal, try Paul Wellstone.  Wellstone was a great Senator!

It could have something to do with her propsed takeover of  1/5 of the economy in '93--universal health care scheme, or it could have something to do with her support of unrestricted abortion--not as universally supported as you seem to believe.


As for being pro-environment, that's so cliche.  I know of absolutely no one, of either party that wants to destroy the environment.

Her being liberal is hardly a media creation.  However, her move to the center certainly is.
