Commander in Chief -- Kaput

geena_davis_100.jpg

We interrupt the coverage of Hillary-the-Wannabe-Astronaut to note with interest that Commander-in-Chief has indeed been cancelled.

Please weigh in. What does this tell us about Hillary 2008? Pick one.

A) You just don't like strong women! America is not (sob) ready for a woman President!
B) America just lost interest in the Woman President schtick. It's not that big a deal. Green light, Hill.
C) America is ready for a woman President. But not a Collagen Commander. . .

Hillary v. Condi

clinton_rice_graph.gif

Gallup has just released a poll on how many registered voters would vote for Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice.

Bad news for Hill's juggernaut: a solid 51% of voters "definitely" would not vote for her. The graph at the right shows the breakdown by party affiliation.

The numbers for Clinton don't surprise me. What does surprise are the high negatives for Condi Rice: 46% of voters would definitely not vote for her.

If you factor in the margin of error -- +/- 3, then you have nearly a dead heat between these two.

Hillary 2008 Watch from Will Franklin

Taking a little break from judicial politics to think about presidential politics. . . This is a great graph from (the always classy) Will Franklin at Willisms. Will thinks Hill can't win in 2008.

I hope he's right.

Will argues that her negatives are just too high in the red states. True. Still, I worry about the Celebrity Factor.

Hillary 2008 Watch . . . Off and Running . . .

Feathers McGraw at Penguin Proletariat has a good post up on Hillary's latest Triangulation Tango -- where she tries to say "I supported the war, buuuut I would have done it better." I'm a hawk, but I don't bite.

A lot of coverage of Hillary's speech to the Aspen Institute last week, in which she mocked President Bush, comparing him to the Alfred E. Neuman cartoon character and saying his attitude is "What? Me Worry?"

But in the brouhaha over this allegedly funny remark, an important point has been missed. Frankly, I think the joke was a miscalculation on her part. Let's get this straight: Hillary Clinton is implying that, as President, she would. . . worry more than President Bush?

Hey Hill. Not a good strategic move. I hate to be the one to say it, but. . . worrying is, well, kind of girly.

And speaking of girly! Hillary's reelection (for Senate, natch) website is up at www.HillaryClinton.com. . .and. . .

For only $40, you, too, can own a Hillary t-shirt . . . get this: designed by Marc Jacobs. Kid you not. (Who is Marc Jacobs, you [male readers] ask? From Hillary's site, he is: Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. . . who has "long been admired for his mix of extreme luxury and effortless charm. . . Jacobs is, according to American Vogue, "New York's dauphin of grungy, understated cool.")

Designer campaign t-shirts??! Gotta hand it to her.

Hillary Hilarity

clinton_hillary.jpg

I can tell you this: It's very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they're doing.... It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth.

Hillary Clinton, attacking George Bush at a June 6th Democratic fundraiser

According to the American Spectator's Washington Prowler, "Even Democrats were laughing" about this one.
