Quick Bites

but I have watched several debates and Hillary has stood WAY out in front. I listened to her answer a black caucus over what she would do about Darfur. A no-fly zone right now and arm-twisting on China. She sounded like she was ready to send in the marines. Her clear direct answer drew a bigger response than Obama's. In the same debate she drew a bigger cheer when asked if she would accept the UN?s mandates and make a law here ordering the return of all Katrina refugees. The biggest cheer without saying yes just misdirection! She was the only one not to answer the question. Nope, she is not about to be seen taking orders from the UN and does seem to improve with time.

In the end, Democrats will rally if she is the pick. I still say she trounces Romney, beats Rudy (there are many questionable moves in his past not yet publicly vetted) and McCain (is he still running?) is a question mark now. That leaves Fred who hasn't faced the music yet. Polls are polls. There is plenty of time and consider three things: Hillary is sounding less grating on the ears (looks better) and is crisp and confident (media will be behind her though not talk radio). In addition, Bill is a big cannon to poke those Independents. Against this is the relentless backdrop of Partial Birth and Segregations fears, Deportation of Immigrant fears (Calderon is not happy with the vote), Iraq fears, etc that will be toked up to the maximum. Add to that, Republican problems with Cheney, Gonzales, the environment, Katrina etc and Hillary can win despite the present negative numbers. Of course Bush helps her cause these days.

Throw in Bloomberg?

But what the hell do I know? I still wish there was a better list to pick from and alot could still change.

Yes, Romney is saying two two two

I want a compilation of Gravel?s responses. Hysterical?..
