23. Thoughts ...
Just flowing, not saying this is what you are thinking ...

The thing that burns my rear end ... NOTHING you said here has anything to do with her abilities, or the quality of a president she would be ... SO, we, all of us, should not want a Hillary presidency not because she would be a bad president, but instead simply because the right would go ape shiite ...

THAT is what it boils down to ...

Personally, I agree with what you are saying about how both Gore and Kerry allowed the MSM and right wing to paralyze them ... I don't agree that Hill would ... I think she is tougher than Gore and Kerry in that regard ... She has faced their crape for going on two decades now, and frankly, I think at this point it kind of motivates her ... NOTHING they do will surprise her at this point, and again, she just if flat tougher than Kerry or Gore ...

That she voted on the wrong side of Iraq ... That rings true only to the left ... CThe center voters you note that win elections won't care much how she voted then ...

Me ... I don't think any D candidate has any better chance ... Maybe Obama cause he seems able to duck the negative tones ... But, other than him, once the primaries break and the MSM gets on board with whatever right wing orders it gets, Thompson is in fact the GREAT Reagen embodied, and whatever smears they will work up for the dem candidate ...

I agree, Hills run will be a bloodbath, no doubt, and be hard for people ... But, it is going to be a bloodbath regardless ... Hers will be bloodier, but do not for ONE second, think that the right wing is going to just play nice for Obama, Edwards or whoever ...
