Hiliary or Obama

Dear Friend,
As you know I'm not leading a campaign for the presidency in 2008. Instead I have chosen to campaign to end the war in Iraq and protect America.
Yesterday I stood up with a remarkable group of Iraq war veterans who are speaking out because they believe the best way to support the troops is to change a course that squanders their lives. When brave patriots suffer and die because of the incompetence of mere politicians, the only patriotic choice is to demand change.
These veterans offered a profile in courage.
The Senate this week provided a profile in politics -- Republicans blocking even a vote up or down, one way or another on a bi-partisan resolution opposing the Bush escalation.
This has to end.
Republicans refuse even to go on record over the Bush escalation. We need to escalate the pressure for a policy change.
That's why I am introducing legislation that will again set a firm one-year deadline for the redeployment of most American troops from Iraq.
If you agree it is time to set a deadline, come to http://www.setadeadline.com and become a citizen co-sponsor of the legislation.
In addition to setting a deadline, my legislation includes key recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, many of which we have been advocating for some time. It will:
launch a major diplomatic initiative, the only hope for a sustainable resolution in Iraq
enforce a series of benchmarks to hold Iraqis accountable for meeting key political objectives
change the American military mission to training Iraqi security forces and counter-terrorism operations
maintain an over the horizon presence to protect American regional interests.

Hillary will get the top spot. She's got the machine and media behind her. Obama will be VP. That'll shut all the critics who claim he's too inexperienced for the top job, and the Dems can still demostrate their "inclusiveness" by having a black man on the ticket. Let's face it, the Dems need Obama to sew up the black vote, and while white liberals like Hillary, who control the Democratic Party, will let a black man sit in the front of the bus, they're not about to let him drive!

I think it will be a Hillary - Obama ticket. And If that happens, I think they will win unless McCain Guiliani become the REpublican ticket.
If Colin Powell ever runs, he'll win hands down. I think Obama will open the door for Powell, and Powell might run in 2012.

Either one of them would be a disaster, but it will be Hillary Clinton. Bill could be first lady. He like cross-dressing. Looks like another 4 years of Republican Party.

I think someone besides those two because I don't think the democratic party will get behind either of them.

The diluded dems will go for Billary.
I think Giuliani will win anyway.
