The game is on: Hillary in '08 or not? There's a new blogger campaign to stop it at Blogs Against Hillary.
Stop. Stop now. Hillary is running for reelection in 2006. Nothing will put the kibosh on her '08 run quicker than losing her Senate seat. Giuliani can't take a run at her?
If Thune can take out Daschle, then Hillary is fair game. Shift the focus.
Posted by Justene Adamec at November 15, 2004 10:58 AM | TrackBackI still don't understand why so many conservatives assume she's the democratic party standard bearer for 2008. The *only* people I hear mentioning her name are conservatives; most of us on the left don't care about her one way or the other.

Ever since her very disturbing Senate victory in 2000, I've been longing for a specially selected Hillary-slaying heavyweight to—for the good of the country—knock her out in '06. Giuliani has become that potential silver bullet to drop Vampiress Hillary. A Giuliani stake through her undead heart would be absolutely the most beautiful thing that could happen in ‘06. Nothing could be sweeter.
Aphrael, we conservatives know that short of being unseated in ’06, Witch Hillary is going to ride the broom in '08. How do we know? Call it a deep-down, instinctive dread. It's a grim foreboding; a creepy, scary horror soundtrack playing like some unholy dirge in the background, unsettling all the rest of the scenery, and betokening America's doom: an ’08 Hillary nomination lurking just around the corner.
Already I can just hear Hillary’s cackle, "I'll get you my little pretty, and your little dog Toto too!" She's sure got the voice and the personality for the part ... Urg!
The other reason why conservatives take Hillary in '08 as a given is that no one else seems like a credible candidate who's capable of winning a Democratic primary. The people we on the right are most worried about (Gov. Phil Bredsen of Tennessee, Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana, and maybe a few others a long those lines) would have more trouble getting the Democratic nomination than Rudy Giulliani would have on the GOP side. The Edwards episode means that first-term Senators (namely, Salazar and Obama) aren't even going to be considered for Veep, let alone the top job.
Posted by: anon at November 16, 2004 06:36 AM (Permalink)Hi, I run blogs against Hillary. Thanks for mentioning our site. :) I would love nothing more than to see her get derailed in 2006. But, if you look at the sorry state of the Republican party in New York and then look at the money Hillary has raised, I can't see that happening. Yes, if Rudy runs against her for the Senate seat, then I can see her losing. But, I firmly believe that Rudy is going to make a run at the White House. So the time is now to start working against her.

Down state voters love Hillary, especially when she isn't talking. Since being elected, she has finally learned to keep her mouth shut in public. There hasn't been a screaming monkey speech in ages. I fear she will be re-elected easily unless she really screws up in a public way. Even Fred Barnes called her a "work horse."
