In other news, apparently a lot of Bush's neo-con foreign advisers have joined the Guiliani camp--consider yourselves forewarned.
Actually, Guiliani's foreign advisors may actually be worse than Bush's. Which is amazing.
Sweet...but and I may be wrong, I've heard they're pretty much one in the same (as far as those who got Bush into Iraq).
He's actually gone and picked out a couple of guys who were not part of the Bush team and are actually further to the right.

Gore can't win, Hillary can't either but the Dems don't realize it yet. She is too polarizing to the Republican side, her very presence on the ticket will get the republicans to vote out of fear.

The Republicans don't have a viable candidate, period. Not a winner in the bunch.
I'm not panicked yet; most of the voters in the actual places where people will vote, as opposed to the generic polls, are undecided on who among the Dem's they'll vote, and those who support Hillary tend to see her as more liberal than either Edwards or Obama, which is not true, and as soon as people figure that out, I imagine there's going to be a bit of a whipsnap effect as people adjust their votes.
Essentially, she's pulled slightly ahead in Iowa but it's still pretty competitive overall, she's a lock so far in Nevada but that looks like its going to be a joke as far as turnout or impact is concerned, and I haven't even seen the numbers in New Hampshire. In other words, the game is still afoot.
That being said, if the Dems in a field like this insist on voting for Hillary for the nod, I do believe I'm going to sign up as a registered independent and voting straight green/none-of-the-above tickets. I'm apparently in the minority among Dems, but I remember Bill's presidency less with a halcyon glow than as one damn thing after another, with the best he could manage while his party controlled Congress a bill that helped gut the American working class, and after that. . .the midnight basketball program is the only thing that springs to mind. In foreign policy, for every Mideast Peace Treaty, there were 2 or 3 Helms-Burton Acts or Rwanda non-actions. The idea of bringing back these yutzes so the baby boomers can relive their fight over who was right in the 60's for 4 more years is a bit sickening given the circumstances.
As one staunch Catholic wrote on a blog the other day speaking from the other end of the spectrum: perhaps you think I'm hoping for a third party. I'd settle for a second party; the oligarchy party currently has two bases of operation in Washington.
