Doesn’t it make you feel just warm all over? Maybe we all need to start doing a rain dance for a Clinton nomination. Perhaps I’m better off voting in the Democratic Primary.

You’re going to be laughing all the way to the election graveyard. Want to bet some money on this?

Hillary cannot win. If the Democrats have half a brain, Obama or Edwards would get the nomination. At least they are not detested by a majority of the electorate already.

Funny you use the term graveyard Publius, as that is where most of the Clinton enemies “mysteriously” find themselves.

You’re not seriously bringing up the “Clinton the murderer” story. Even Fox News backed down on that piece of b.s.

So… that was a zogby poll, right?
So… what do you make of the more reliable gallup poll that has Hillary Clinton winning over *any* republican candidate?
“PRINCETON, NJ — A new Gallup Poll finds Sen. Hillary Clinton with a slim but not statistically significant advantage over both former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain in head-to-head matchups for the 2008 general election for president. Clinton has much more substantial leads over former Sen. Fred Thompson and former Gov. Mitt Romney. Sen. Barack Obama also has significant leads over Thompson and Romney, but essentially ties with Giuliani and McCain.
The poll of 897 registered voters nationwide was conducted Nov. 11-14, 2007.”
