TEN REASONS WHY HILLARY CAN'T MAKE IT

Folks, I've been watching with complete amusement this completely media driven effort to "draft" Hillary as the next Democratic nominee for President!

Folks, this is FUNNY. First of all, the whole thing is driven by the liberals in the media who are upset that the Democratic party can't seem to pick a nominee that can make it to Pennsylvania Ave. So these liberal media elites have decided to "help out" the Dems and pick one on their own.

And the candidate they've picked is Hillary!

Find a negative story about Hillary anywhere in the "mainstream" media - go ahead - I dare you. It doesn't exist. So for the next three years - be prepared to be inundated with "good news" stories on Hillary!

Too Funny Folks!

And it's also a mistake.

Fact is, the liberal elites in the media are no better at picking candidates than the Democratic National Convention is. The "selection" of Hillary makes this glaringly obvious. Here's why ...

1. If you want to MOTIVATE the Republican base - if you really want to do Karl Rove's job for him - then select someone like Hillary to run against the Republican nominee. I dare say, there is no candidate on earth you could pick who is more HATED by the Republican right than Hillary is. They will turn out in DROVES to vote against her. They remember - all to well - the Clinton administration. They don't want a repeat.

2. If Hillary is the pick for the Dems - this means that the Republicans don't have to worry about their base - and that leaves the Republicans free to nominate anyone they wish too. Sen. John McCain isn't well liked among the Republican base - but the base will still turn out in swarms to vote for him over Hillary.

3. With the Republicans nominating a more "leftish" candidate - like McCain or whoever - that means that candidate is then going to SUCK UP DEMOCRATIC VOTES LIKE A VAMPIRE! The Hillary campaign will be bleeding from almost every major artery.

4. Hillary - ain't Bill. She carries all the baggage of Bill Clinton - but little of the muscle he had. Bill Clinton was, and still is, a MASTER COMMUNICATOR. Hillary isn't. Bill could function in any situation - you couldn't surprise him. His reaction and aswers to questions were always polished and had the appearance of sincerity - even if he was lieing - even if the question was unexpected. This is the exact opposite of Hillary. Hillary can be "pushed" - and very easily - to the point of visible frustration. Y'all haven't seen much of this lately - because she's ONLY A SENATOR right now. A Senator can pick and choose her battles. A Senator can hide in the weeds when a topic comes up that they'd rather not address - or don't think they can address in a satisfactory manner. A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CANNOT. A presidential candiate has to run the "gauntlet" of ALL issues - and they have to do it with little preparation in many cases. Campaigns are intense - you can't just tell someone "I'll have an opinion on this tomorrow". It doesn't work that way.

Additionally, every presidential candidate has to break out his "war face" every now and then - and if you've ever seen Hillary's - then you know that hers isn't pretty. By "war face" - I mean like the time that Bob Dole looked accross the table and told George H.W. Bush, straight to his face, "STOP LIEING ABOUT MY RECORD!". You could tell that old Bob was upset - and in charge. On the flip side of that - Dan Quale has a poor "war face". Great guy and I love Dan to death - but when he gets upset he looks like a wimpy high school boy trying to be something he's not - and it's hard to describe - but he also looks a little mentally unbalanced when he puts on that "war face". Same thing goes for Al Gore (looks very mentally unbalanced - 'cause he is) - and it goes in spades for Hillary also!

5. Hillary will have to fight the fact that she would be asking Americans to make her the first woman president. Now, although I think we're ready for a woman in the Oval Office - Hillary is not the one. And Americans will quickly conclude that she isn't the one. The first woman that is elected President will likely have a military background - in order to alleviate any doubts about her ability to function as commander in chief. Hillary has no such background and will get MURDERED on the commander in chief issue - ESPECIALLY if she's unfortunate to run against a Republican war hero - like John McCain. (Incidentally folks - I'm not on the McCain bandwagon and do not wish to see him as President. As of the moment - I'm a George Allen man myself).

6. American's won't elect a "Chump" to the White House - and Bill Clinton turned Hillary into a "chump" in the eyes of the American public. He did this by cheating on her numerous times and deceiving her - and then sending her out in public to defend him. Most women will tell you that they would have kicked Bill Clinton to the curb after ONE affair - yet Hillary allowed herself to be deceived numerous times and even went on television once to falsely accuse a "vast right wing conspiracy" of tarnishing her husband. Later, we found out it was her husband's own sexual addictions that were getting him in trouble. All of the truth has come out on that stuff - and Hillary was on the wrong side of truth - that's proven. Americans hold a subconcious opinion that Hillary is gullible - easily fooled - and they don't want a gullible president - especially when there is a war going on.

7. Hillary has little "elected" experience - but a mile long political record. The only office I believe she's ever held is that of a U.S. Senator. So she lacks experience in elected office - yet she has a long political record that will be dragged out and used against her. The first thing that comes to mind is her little "venture" into health care right at the beginning of her husband's presidency. That was a complete mess and it ended up with Bill completely retreating from health care reform for the remainder of his TWO terms in office! All of his health care reform dreams were completely dashed due to Hillary's mishandling of the issue - and the PUBLIC RELATIONS effort behind it. Expect all that bloody mess to come up again during any Hillary bid for the presidency.

8. She's a "powder monkey" - but hasn't fired the "cannon". This reason is much akin to reason (7) above. A "powder monkey" - in old time British Navy vernacular is a person who fetches powder for the cannon crew. That's really all that Hillary has done. She can't get elected any more than Karl Rove could get elected. She has been a "background" support type of player for almost all her adult life. That's a safe role - in that role, you can quickly jump back into the invisible background whenever the temperature gets too hot. Americans elect people who have experience on the "cannon crew" - who've been on the front lines. She hasn't - in fact, she doesn't even have much experience in "appointed" positions either.

9. She hasn't been reelected to the Senate yet. She may face a STIFF contest here next year folks. I predict she'll win it - but it could be bloody. It should be bloody - the Republicans are going to be going after her with everything they have. She may emerge with some critical wounds and that doesn't bid well for a run for president only two years later. And worse - if she loses that reelection - she's out of the running completely. Sooo, talk of a Hillary candidacy in 2008 is, in my opinion - way premature. Even her husband Bill agrees with this and has even said as much several times already.

10. HER HUSBAND IS BILL CLINTON. Rumor has it that Bill has been a very naughty boy since he left the White House. Expect his "sexual adventures" to come up again, and again over the course of any Hillary campaign. This is going to make Americans on both the left and the right ask themselves ... "Do we really want another four years of this?".

Additionally, Bill Clinton carries the gravity vector of a BLACK HOLE. You can't ignore him - he sucks in anything that approaches within his field of influence - anything that comes close to him. Hillary won't be able to run a campaign with Bill Clinton only as a "background player". That's impossible. Bill will upstage her and this will make Americans question ... "Who is really running for president here?". The whole thing will just be too weird.

There they are folks - ten reasons why Hillary can't be elected. I should be jumping for joy right? I mean that means the next president will be a Republican if the Dems run Hillary right?

Well, yes it does - but I'm not happy about it. I don't want to see just any Republican in the White House ...

A Hillary nomination means a Republican who is left of center will be nominated by the Republican party - and that probably means John McCain (even as old as he is). The reason for this is simple - the Republicans won't have to work to please the base because a Hillary campaign will do everything for them. The strategy for Republicans then will be to SIPHON Democratic votes from Hillary. Suddenly, the more moderate Republicans will be in charge and they aren't going to pick someone like Rick Santorum or George Allen for the top of the GOP ticket.

I'm not happy about that prospect folks. That's a little fearful to me. I'm a classic member of the Republican base and jumping into a voting booth and pulling the lever for someone like John McCain is like swallowing Castor Oil! However, just like everyone else over here on the right, I'll hold my nose and do it if Hillary runs!

That's why I'm hoping that the Dem's wise up here before they run off and nominate Hillary - she won't do them any good - she can't win. And if the Dem's want to see McCain as president - they can join the Republican party and vote for him - it'll be a lot less painful for them than the agony of another defeat when Hillary's ship sails to the bottom!
