thoracle said:at least a third of black men,
thoracle said:nearly all women, white black or other.
thoracle said:I don't see how any Democratic candidate can survive this shift. I have heard her express a very soft pro-life position, which will take a lot of bullets from the left,
thoracle said:she has unrivaled foreign policy experience (NSA, Sec. of State) in the current environment,
thoracle said:she has been all over the planet expressing strong, pro-America positions and creating new diplomatic relationships, and she has no baggage or skeletons. She recently went through senate confirmation, and while she was bombarded with anti-Bush monologues and asked to defend him constantly, they were not able to get ANY dirt on her.
She is in lock step with Bush on all the issues that appeal to the conservative base, she has not said anything to my knowledge that would jeopardize that base, and at the same time, she is not a white oil exec or a born again and she is apparently honest and visibly intelligent, diplomatic and articulate. (all the bases for the left's criticisms of Bush)
How can Hillary beat her? Can any Democrat defeat her?
Tashah said:Condi would do very well all across the US political spectrum and... she's well respected internationally. She's genuine, intelligent, articulate, informed, well traveled, personable with a good sense of humor, has an impressive academic and professional portfolio, and possesses a warm smile and great dimples.
God help Hillary if they ever squared off in televised presidential debates.

Every intel agency in the West made that same assessment.Hoot said:Late Edition Sept., 8th 2002..."The aluminum tubes are really only suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs."
Neither did General Dwight D. Eisenhower.Kelzie said:All of which is completely irrelevant since she has no experience in holding a public office.
Tashah said:Neither did General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
She has plenty of experience... just no experience as an enabler.Kelzie said:Yeah but that was 50 years ago. It's going to be a big enough change for the Republicans to run a woman, let alone one with no experience.
Tashah said:She has plenty of experience... just no experience as an enabler.
Lol, the 'enabler' line was a subtle shot at Hillary. I agree with you though... I don't think she will run in '08 for many valid reasons. That said, I still think she would make a damn good candidate at another time.Kelzie said:Well, exactly. Honestly, I wish she would run. It would be a very shrewd move on the part of the Republicans to counter Hillary. I just don't see it happening.

A subtle shot at me? Lol. Let's see, the last Socialist elected to be president was..... ummmm..... who? Help me out here Kelz :roflKelzie said:Sure. Except for the fact that she's a conservative. :2razz:

Kandahar said:History would indicate that you are correct. Incumbent parties rarely win three terms in a row.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Reagan, Reagan, Bush. FDR, FDR, FDR, Truman, Truman.
Kandahar said:I didn't say it's never happened before in the history of the republic. I said it's rare.
