Feels like a train
These guys just don't get it. Hillary Clinton is essentially unstoppable. Warner drops out Feingold drops out, who is there to challenge her? And this idea that she can't win is lunacy. It's based upon the conception that Hillary is a liberal in a world that is operating on conservative principles; the first presumption is voided, and the second is weakening and perhaps gone. The biggest reason she'll win is that she'll be the most conservative candidate in the field. Who's going to challenge her? McCain, the progenitor of the biggest attack on the First Amendment in history? (Well, maybe Alien & Sedition, but still) Not to mention that he's pure bomb. Rudy? She chased him out of the race once, she'll do it again. Races can and do turn quickly, but, folks, you have to have something to put forward, and there is hardly anything being put forward anywhere that isn't based in Democrat philosophy.

Are are you claiming that old canard that the people really want conservative values? Are you saying, like so many other pundits automatically believe, that the Republicans lost because they're not conservative enough. That's pretty silly since they lost all over the place, including some of their most conservative.
The people are in the middle. They want some conservative things, but they want some liberal things, like minimum wage hikes.
The Republicans screwed up in this election for a bunch of reasons, but mostly because the nation had soured on Iraq and there was nothing they could do about that, and the people figured the Democrats would get them out faster.
Regarding 2008, Hillary can be beaten by any decent guy the Republicans put up as long as he's not too conservative. Either McCain or Rudy (I can't spell his last name either) would beat her if the Republicans were smart enough to nominate them. Too bad they're not.
If you're right, then there will be a two-and-a-half decade stretch (either 1989-2013 or 1989-2017) where our president is either a Bush or a Clinton.
And of course, all the Republican tickets for president for three straight decades (1976-2004 inclusive) had either a Bush or a Dole on the ticket.
We really need some new blood in politics.
Lawrence King's comment was made by Seymour Hersh several months ago, who said the Bushes and the Clintons were going to pass the presidency back and forth between them like some modern War of the Roses.
As a woman and a Modecrat, I'll have a very hard time voting Hillary into the Oval Office. I don't know that I want Lady Macbeth to be President.
Don't worry, anonymous, you'll feel just fine about voting for Hillary in two years. You'll even wonder what it was you were objecting to so strongly.
(I have a question for you: I notice you don't call yourself a "Roderate," but instead a "Modecrat." How come? In any case, read two Geoff Stone columns, take a dose of Wild and Rascally Bill's Moderate Centrism, and you'll come through in good form.)
