The Democrats can continue to run against Bush, and probably will, but
inasmuch
as he won't be the other name on the ballot it'll be largely wasted.
Most of that candidates on the Rep side endorse most of his positions.
So, running against him will work as a strategy.
I actually
consider Hillary to be a significant and substantial candidate - a bit
short in
the personal charm department maybe but a far more serious person than
the last
two stuffed senatorial shirts they trotted out. Unfortunately for her
she will
likely come out of this insanely long primary having adopted enough
leftish
coloration to leave her unelectable by the general public.
She brings all of Bill's baggage with her. His positives only help
with the core audience. She might gain some women's votes but she
loses those who would never vote for a women. I think she's a loser.
Southerner would help, anybody from the Midwest wouldn't hurt, and I
mean the
real midwest where they still have some factories and railyards and
cows, not
Chicago.
They need a real Southerner. I don't think Hillary qualifies. They
don't seem to understand that the South has finally gotten over it's
Lincoln era "we're not Republicans" bias and now votes Republican.
They keep getting alliances with union officials and think that's the
same as having the union vote and it isn't the same thing at all. Even
now there
aren't enough government workers for that to succeed. Over the decades
the
Republican party has evolved into a creature that feeds on New England
liberals.
Or looking at it the other way - the Dem's haven't yet figured out
that a Northern Liberal is not going to win. Advantage Republicans....
On the other hand, maybe many of the blue collar evangelicals have started
to figure out that not only are they screwing themselves economically by
voting Republican, but the Republicans have only paid lip services to
their social agenda. They may just decide to stay home at election time.

The Republicans have to deal with the fact that they have dominated
national politics for a quarter century, had most of the economic agenda
implemented, yet only those who were rich before hand are doing better.
Even though the corporate media is dominated by pundits that bleat the
regressive economic case, people will still look at their own lives and
see that things are not going right for them.

Well, I have not had to step over any dead bodies lying in the streets
lately, so that is a good sign. I wonder why it is that all the rest of the
world wants to come to America if the working poor are so god damn poor!

The US (and to lesser but still significant extent, Europe) has used its
military and economic power to increase poverty in countries primarily
inhabited by darker skinned people.

Do you notice many Western Europeans wanting to come to the US, besides
the odd laissez-faire capitalist? Despite a lower per capita GNP, the
lower and middle classes are much better off.
