Besides, she expressed many times she has no interest in holding office in 2008-2012.

I refer you to comment #1.

Surely the Huckster is finished by now?

Unless McCain picks him as his running mate. (Please God, no)

I hope the conservatives remember there is more at stake then just 4 years in the White House.

For all the importance heaped on the Supreme Court, by both sides, the court has shown a distinct unwillingness to take on divisive issues in recent years. Yes, there have been some instances, but more often than not, if they take a controversial case, they issue a narrow constitutional ruling.

However, the 2nd Amendment case this year challenging the District’s handgun ban is probably the most important case to come before the court in the last 50 years. So, quite a big caveat to the assertion i just made, lol.

And that Republicans will triumph in the end, but only because the country was put through another 4-8 years of Clintonesque horror.

And we end up with a very liberal supreme court – again. It’s not definite yet that McCain is the candidate, but if he is, I hope the conservatives remember there is more at stake then just 4 years in the White House.

Who do you see McCain picking as his VP that would actually help?

Condeleeza Rice or Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

I think Hillary will have negotiations with Obama as VP, but that they’ll ultimately fall apart. He’ll let her go down in flames in November all by herself. Then in late 2009, he’ll annouce his intention to seek the Governorship of Illinois, win it and then seek the presidency again in 2012 as the proverbial favorite for the Democratic nomination.

I was thinking that Adm James Stockton might be his most appropriate VP. But I remember he passed away recently at the age of 82.

There’s a sort of macabre humor to that, lol.

Bob Dole was just declared the victor in FLA. Anyone remember the margin of the last Bob Dole/Clinton contest in ‘96?

Big difference. This time the Clinton’s will have to run a one on one race, something they’ve never done nationally. Bloomberg won’t get in if it’s McCain and Clinton, because his candidacy would need two polarizing figures for him to have a chance to stake claim to the middle ground. A Bloomberg candidacy was only likely if it were Clinton v. Romney or Huckabee.

I think Clinton’s chances of beating McCain are no better than 1 in 4. What state would Hillary carry that Kerry didn’t? Certainly not Iowa, they’ve never elected a woman to anything, one of the only states (along with Mississippi) to have never elected a woman as Governor, Senator or Congressman. She won’t win in Florida. She might win Arkansas, but I put that at no better than 50/50. Missouri maybe? Ohio? New Mexico? Clinton simply doesn’t put many states in play.

Thankfully, I just had a case of vodka and a case of gin delivered: It’s going to be a long 7 days until super Tuesday…
