Another "Not Hillary" post .......

[Stinky The Clown]

We can poo-poo the corporate media and the Republicans for saying endlessly that Senator Clinton is the hands-down Democratic front runner for '08, but their saying it serves a purpose.

It should prove to the last knowledgeable (Sen) Clinton supporter that to have her as our nominee will bring out every last mangy-assed Republican and ill-informed independent voter to vote against her.

They won't need gay adoption or abortion or whatever stupid culturally divisive issue they decide to dredge up. Mrs. Clinton is all the wedge they need.

Again, poo-poo as you wish the source of this thinking - in this case, watching Tweety and the talking heads from the MiniRepliConFest in Memphis.

Now .... as far as I'm concerned they can keep on beating the Hillary drum as long and as loud as they wish. I don't think Mrs. Clinton will get the nomination. I think it will be a non-DC Dem ...... pick one: Richardson, Clark, Warner, maybe even Schweitzer. Someone else. Who knows. But it won't be Hillary Clinton. And won't be a DC personage.

So let Sen Clinton be the lightening rod. Just so she isn't when we finally do see a front runner emerge.
