Hillary

I hope she runs for the Democratic nomination in 2008.  Maybe then, when she gets her ass handed to her in the primaries, the Fox news crowd will stop treating her as if she were a Democratic rock goddess and frightening the common folk with the prospect of her as some sort of Presidential boogeywoman.  Okay, so that's a bit naive.

Anyways, I like Hillary, but she can't win.  Both because far too many people, including many Democrats, just don't like her for reasons deeply rooted in sexism and archiaic notions of gender roles and because she is not nearly as politically talented as her husband.  Every Democrat knows this and none of us have any need to get killed in another election solely for the purpose of doing the bidding of the great and wise Hillary Clinton. 

Honest Republicans know Hillary has no shot at either the Presidency or the Democratic nomination.  The Media knows this as well.  But just the mention of her name and the Presidency in the same sentence gets the freepers and the people who like to discriminate in the name of god all riled up.  So Rush and Sean keep talking about and the media does their bidding and takes it seriously, even though everybody knows it's a ruse.  But if the Democrats repudiate her in the primaries before the Republicans get the chance they have been dreaming about, perhaps the spectre of Hillary can be vanquished.
