Already it starts

The right-wingers are at it once more. Scared to death that Sen. Hillary Clinton may be the Democrat nominee for president in 2008, they are already slinging the mud. Jeannie Moos of CNN looks at the book "I've Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton In Her Own Words" by Thomas D. Kuiper and finds that most of the "quotes" ascribed to Mrs. Clinton are unsubstantiated. It's the right wing and their anonymous (made-up) sources. And the bloggers will pick up on these "quotes" and will be mortified, indignant that Mrs. Clintoin could do such a thing. Then the right-wing media will also chime in reporting on the book and on the blogs. It's the old saw: If you repeat a lie often enough and loud enough, people will pereceive it as truth.

See, I don't see how the DNC can even begin to think of endorsing Hillary. She's way too divisive a person -- EVERYONE hates Hillary. Why then would she get the DNC nomination? Wouldn't they want to put forward someone who could actually win??

No wait... we did have Kerry in the last election...

Not everyone hates Hillary. She does have a loyal following. Although I was born on =her= birthday, I'm not a big fan of her. However, I do think she's done better as a U.S. senator than she was expected to do. I also think she will decide not to run for president in 2008, but I could be wrong.
