It's a cottage industry. <BR/><BR/>And the national polls consistently put her negative/positive ratings at about 50-50. <BR/><BR/>In that environment, please tlel me--how is she any different than Bush was before his plummeting downward?<BR/><BR/>By almost all accounts, she is an excellent senator who does her homework and presents thoughtful views. We could do worse in this country, and we have. Hell Bill Frist bubbled up form milionaire status to Senate Majority Leader. Shiver my timbers. Mediocirty reigned supreme.<BR/><BR/>Evan Bayh and everyone else who wants to be the anti-Hillary will probably do just fine in the wings. <BR/><BR/>And if she stumbles, it's an open primary field. Until then, it's hers to lose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165160453238498842006-12-03T10:40:00.000-05:002006-12-03T10:40:00.000-05:00Great article AL - you're at your best when you do thoughtful analysis like this and in this case, you're right on target -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165116210863932852006-12-02T22:23:00.000-05:002006-12-02T22:23:00.000-05:00Only ones who truly think Hillary is the front runner, or will even run, are Republicans. Sure she wants maxiumum power, influence, and the cash that goes with, but Republicans fool themselves to think she would tarnish what she foresees as a future legacy of Senate triumph and glory with a losing presidential campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165115067462118192006-12-02T22:04:00.000-05:002006-12-02T22:04:00.000-05:00Careful, Ernie.<BR/><BR/>You may have to eat that vomit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165114675810702092006-12-02T21:57:00.000-05:002006-12-02T21:57:00.000-05:00Gag ME ...PUKE....Spit, You've gotta be kidding.Legacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624388336192960176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165109467738787592006-12-02T20:31:00.000-05:002006-12-02T20:31:00.000-05:00Wouldn't a Bayh/Obama ticket be something to see!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165101288144511572006-12-02T18:14:00.000-05:002006-12-02T18:14:00.000-05:00I'm not touting Romney's candidacy, but he's quite effective on the stump, and he wins big marks for working with Dems in the legislature there to pass a comprehensive health insurance plan--leading the nation in that regard. If Romney were the Republican he was when he first ran for Massachusetts governor, he would have my support. Unfortunately, he threw in with the religious right crowd in a shameless way after the gay marriage court decision came down.Gary R.

He's just one bottle of JetBlackDyeNo.14 away from goofiness.<BR/><BR/>Your Republicanism is showing.<BR/><BR/>I hope the far right keeps talking about Hillary and her "electability" for the next 23 months. Nonstop.<BR/><BR/>She'd be divisive, but no moreso than W.<BR/><BR/>It's a long time until November 2008. <BR/><BR/>Bil and Jerame over at Bilerico oculd've written this Evan Bayh post. For them, Evan's not liberal enough.<BR/><BR/>We'll see. His birthday is this week. He'll use that to launch his committee.<BR/><BR/>Whether he can win is another thing. Indiana ought to be proud, tho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
