Only a moderate would have a shot at attracting enough votes for a national win. There are no republican moderates left, either because they got ousted or because they sold out and pandered to the teabaggers.

If the republicans field a Teabagger, they will lose.
If the republicans field an establishment/Big Money-supported moderate, saying moderate stuff teabaggers don't like, they will split the republican vote.

Both have evolved into better people when it comes to civil rights. I could go on but I know you are very politically aware and see the direction I am going.

Here's a hint: it worked on Romney because it is true -- he IS an out of touch billionaire with dancing horses and magic underwear who is tone deaf to his own nonsense.

But it won't work on Hillary Clinton. No matter how many lines are quoted and spun out of context, Hillary Clinton is a known quantity and most have made up their mind on her. She didn't outsource jobs or use vulture capital tactics on KB Toys, etc. The (Bill) Clinton presidency was a huge success with a surplus and near full employment.

In 2 years, when the GOP narrows it's 25 happy idiots down to Mitt Romney (again) Hillary will spank him and send him home.

Unions Press Clinton on Outsourcing Of U.S. Jobs

By John Solomon and Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, September 8, 2007

When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton flew to New Delhi to meet with Indian business leaders in 2005, she offered a blunt assessment of the loss of American jobs across the Pacific. "There is no way to legislate against reality," she declared. "Outsourcing will continue. . . . We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences."

Two years later, as a Democratic presidential hopeful, Clinton struck a different tone when she told students in New Hampshire that she hated "seeing U.S. telemarketing jobs done in remote locations far, far from our shores."

The two speeches delivered continents apart highlight the delicate balance the senator from New York, a dedicated free-trader, is seeking to maintain as she courts two competing constituencies: wealthy Indian immigrants who have pledged to donate and raise as much as $5 million for her 2008 campaign and powerful American labor unions that are crucial to any Democratic primary victory.

Despite aggressive courtship by Democratic candidates, major unions such as the AFL-CIO, the Teamsters and the Service Employees International Union have withheld their endorsements as they scrutinize the candidates' records and solicit views on a variety of issues.

High on the agenda of union officials is an explanation of how each candidate will try to stem the loss of U.S. jobs, including large numbers in the service and technology sectors that are being taken over by cheap labor in India. During the vetting, some union leaders have found Clinton's record troubling.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/john-solomon/

John Solomon, a reporter with a history of sloppy and misleading reports on Democrats' financial dealings -- omitted key information, which, combined with the article's length and prominent front-page, above-the-fold placement, resulted in the baseless suggestion that there is something untoward about the foundation and the Clintons' motivations in establishing it.

and actually this one isn't as kind as Solomon's. Is the LA times okay for you? If not, go ahead and knock yourself out googling more articles on the same subject - tons of it out there.

http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jul/30/nation/na-buffalo30
Clinton's free-trade advocacy is hitting labor where it lives

But less noticed was how the event signaled that Clinton, who portrays herself as a fighter for American workers, had aligned herself with Indian American business leaders and Indian companies feared by the labor movement.

Now, as Clinton runs for president, that signal is echoing loudly.

Clinton is successfully wooing wealthy Indian Americans, many of them business leaders with close ties to their native country and an interest in protecting outsourcing laws and expanding access to worker visas. Her campaign has held three fundraisers in the Indian American community recently, one of which raised close to $3 million, its sponsor told an Indian news organization.

But in Buffalo, the fruits of the Tata deal have been hard to find. The company, which called the arrangement Clinton's "brainchild," says "about 10" employees work here. Tata says most of the new employees were hired from around Buffalo. It declines to say whether any of the new jobs are held by foreigners, who make up 90% of Tata's 10,000-employee workforce in the United States.

As for the research deal with the state university that Clinton announced, school administrators say that three attempts to win government grants with Tata for health-oriented research were unsuccessful and that no projects are imminent.

Good news for you -- if you like this guy's writing you can buy his last book on Amazon super discount right now -- hardcover is $3.84

This book must stand as a masterpiece of bad timing. It came out right before the 2006 elections - where the Republicans received their first drubbing. Prior to the election, Hamburger and Wallsten had been on the Book Puff circuit, including an interview for Harper's Magazine where they expressed the view that Republican losses would be limited and the GOP had a shot at maintaining control of both the Senate and the House. On CNN, they stated that their analysis would remain sound even if the Republicans suffered a temporary setback in '06. Then along came '08 - and an even bigger whipping than the last one. Suddenly the buzz is about Obama's hyper-sophisticated used of the Internet. Presumably it is time for Hamburger and Wallsten to write a sequel entitled: How Did We Get It So Wrong?

Just because both Hillary and the President are Democrats is not enough for me. They are very, very different people contrary to what many say.

I believe and trust in Obama, much to manys chagrin here on DU. I get beat up on that a lot, being a dreadful Bogger and all.
I believe he has true integrity and strength and core beliefs that fit with what I think a leader should have. He rarely fails at getting his message across because he doesn't have to cover up lies and misspeaks from his past - and if he does change his mind or make an error he will take responsibility and not try to blame someone else. That is how a mature adult who is entrusted to lead should be.

I don't think the Clintons are any of those things. They manipulate, confabulate and lie too comfortably.

That about covers it.

All the nasty stuff like Glass Steagal and what it is doing to people's lives, and that awful error in bombing Sudan on the Pharma factory because he wanted attention away from Lewinsky in court that week (fuck him to hell for that) and couldn't wait for proper approval from the Joint Chiefs or intel. Bah, there is so much more but why go on, it's all been said here (well, not all) many times as to why Clinton isn't the prom king too many think he is.

I don't believe President Obama is capable of any of that maliciousness and selfishness.

There is Keystone to worry about and the TPP trade deal, there is a lot to worry about. I sure hope Keystone gets dumped (because it's a Clinton baby for one thing, second to just being a lousy idea and if it's tamped down it will be such a wonderful slap on the face to all those rich fucks that think they own the world). I hope Obama does the right thing and vetoes if it comes to that, but if he doesn't I will have to accept that his world and decisions are a lot more complicated than mine.

Rush wants his meme back, although he does appreciate your borrowing it for awhile. And you think that Keystone is fucked up, unless Obama pushes it. Then it is just a complicated matter.
