Last week I posted a "what if" post concerning Hillary and the lead up to the 2012 Democratic nominating process. Have the war drums already started in the West Wing?HT to Bruce

Tony Blankley is among the first to seriously discuss the possibility of Hillary in 2012. I agree it's a strong possibility. Here's how it might go down:A few “Clinton insiders” like Ickes, Stephanopolis, Daschle, etc. begin asking questions about Obie’s ability to lead the party and start actively praising Hillary’s statesmanship as Sec State.Bill begins to beat the drum about the off year 2010

David Gregory, moderator of Meet the Press, on this morning's Today show said, in effect, Obama has created a wave of change in this country. Voters in VA and NJ were voting for change of the status quo.Most of us took high school algebra and learned that if: A=B and B=C, then A=C.So Bloom's twisted conclusion is, in essence, Obama gets to take credit for the races in VA and NJ (in a positive way

The Pelosi health care bill could change everything about the fundamental relationship between Government and the People. If passed, it will be virtually impossible to reverse or undo, and will forever make the People "beholding" to the Federal Government for the most basic of services and resources. This is why America is so opposed to this plan, and why emotions are running so high. We are at a

From the WaPo's The FixThings are getting pretty bleak down at the Virginia Donkey Headquarters.One senior Democratic strategist who has closely followed the contest in Virginia said that the "chances are somewhere between solid and definite" that Deeds declining performance would hamper the party's chances of winning LG and AG races.

It's looking worse each week for the Deeds camp. They have run an anemic, negative, whiney campaign that is short on substance and long on invective. The Obamachine is running away as fast as their little arms and legs will drive them (look for Deed's loss to be Bush's fault...the Democrats just inherited the mess in Virginia).Virginia's stampeding from Bluish, beyond Purple, and onward to Red.
