Biden just stated Hillary was the overwhelming pick
for 08. Did anyone else hear him on "Hardball"? Why, why is the DLCc's wonder child first pick?

I can't make myself back her. Oh no...

2. My repub faux-watching mother informed me that
the new show "Commander in Chief" means that Hillary will run.

:wtf:

Is this what they are spouting over there?

I informed her that I do not want Hillary to run.

4. I don't know why they are pushing '08 so hard unless they
have no faith in '06. One election at a time.

And no, this is not a Hillary Bashing thread.

I just want to point out that '06 is now one year away. Get on the stick boys. '08 will follow in 2 years after '06.

12. You're right 06 is the year to focus on who knows
what will come after the 06 elections.

6. He said she has to be considered the favorite.
He didn't say she would win.

8. I feel disheartened though
Who knows who will win. I thought it interesting that he made that statement.

7. John Edwards would get the nomination over Hillary, I think.
He'd have wider appeal than she does.

9. He does not have a choice - he knows he is not the favorite
If he said she was not, he would have to speak about other potential favorites and this is not good for him.

Better say she is the favorite and then position himself as the anti-Hillary.

10. Another disgusting shameless bid for VP
and attempt to marginalize anyone else 3 years before the election. Ridiculous.

14. won't work
Hillary would have to go south for a running mate. Probably someone like Wes Clark. That is if she runs and if she is nominated.

23. Dean was a classic case of "easy come, easy go". Hillary's been around
the block a time or two.

16. Screw Joe & Hil & the whores they rode in on. Last time I checked
the Reeps pick the Republican candidate. Why would the Dems field one, too?

17. We don't want here because she is a sell-out
and follows the AEI agenda. Need some untainted person.

19. Dean on Letterman last week said 11 people are running!
I haven't counted on my fingers....but I know I did a double take. I hope he's kidding. We're supposed to do it smart this time....

20. That is not for Biden to decide
That should be up to the voters to decide. Biden, and many others in the DLC are too full of themselves.

24. I can't back her either.
Let us hope that the Democrats can do better than that.
