Hillary's Secret Weapon...

By DICK MORRIS September 7, 2006 -- The conventional wisdom is that Hillary Clinton has a lock on the Democratic nomination in 2008 but can't win the general election. Both claims are open to doubt: A new poll shows Hillary slipping in her battle for the nomination and voter turnout data underscores how serious a chance she has of winning the election if she gets nominated. The latest Fox News poll (see chart) shows her slipping among likely Democratic primary voters from an unbeatable 43... Sign in to see full entry.

Biden visit to Iowa shows he's a viable candidate By DAVID YEPSEN REGISTER POLITICAL COLUMNIST August 31, 2006 Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden spent much of August in Iowa, making up for lost ground in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Biden has been saying he is running, but many in the political community haven't taken him seriously. One reason is that he's not spent quality time in the lead-off state, while other candidates have been blitzing the place. So, in the past month,... Sign in to see full entry.

Making Sense of Immigration Policies By Ross K. Baker We have become accustomed to seeing the big political battles fought between partisan or ideological trench lines. Name an issue — abortion, flag desecration, same-sex marriage, the Iraq war — and you will see the vast bulk of Democrats on one side and a pretty solid GOP phalanx on the other. This fits nicely with the neat red-blue division of states so beloved by the people who do TV election coverage graphics. But on immigration reform, a... Sign in to see full entry.

Giuliani's presidential pose Scott Shepard - Cox Washington Bureau Wednesday, August 16, 2006 Washington --- Rudolph Giuliani today will test what would likely be chilly waters for any presidential bid he may launch: the South. But as the former New York City mayor, a Republican who stands to the left of his party on a number of social issues, prepares for a congressional fund-raiser keynote address in South Carolina, there are encouraging signs he may play better than expected in the state that...

BY NED LAMONT Wednesday, August 16, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT In the past week, my victory in the Connecticut Senate primary has been labeled everything from the death knell of the Democratic Party to the signal of our party's rebirth. Beneath all of this punditry is a question that I want to face directly: how the experience I will bring to the U.S. Senate will help Connecticut and the Democratic Party during this time of testing for our country. I ran at a time when people said "you can't beat a... Sign in to see full entry.

Today's Nuze: August 11, 2006 Friday, August 11, 2006 OK... CAN WE START THE PROFILING NOW? The Brits have identified 19 of the Islamic terrorists who had been plotting to blow up as many as ten airliners over the Atlantic ocean. Let's see now: What do we have here! Why... and I hope you're sitting down here, because this is certainly very shocking --- every one of the 19 people who have been arrested thus far were men. They were all younger men, anywhere from 17 to 35 years old. Oh... and every... Sign in to see full entry.

August 11, 2006 Bush's Fortitude on the Middle East By Ed Koch The war now raging in Lebanon should not surprise anyone. For many years, Hezbollah, which is funded, equipped and ideologically supported by Iran and Syria, has made it crystal clear that its goal is to conquer Israel, expel its Jewish inhabitants, and place the entire land under Islamic rule. Hezbollah engages in terrorism -- the deliberate targeting of Jewish civilians and others -- to achieve its goals. For the past month,... Sign in to see full entry.

An Open Letter to the Chairman of the RNC..................................

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/08/the_contrived_news_story.html Here's an editorial worth reading. How did Rumsfield's swarthy defense of his policies, which deflated Clinton who left the room in dismay, turn into a robust attack by Hillary against Rummy? Easy: it's called fabrication by pol-friendly media. New York Times, the Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, Reuters and AP were all incolved, as pro-Clinton media outlets, and conspired to contrive a story that never happened....

ELECTION 2006 Lieberman The "peace" Democrats are back. It's a dream come true for Karl Rove. BY MARTIN PERETZ Monday, August 7, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT We have been here before. Left-wing Democrats are once again fielding single-issue "peace candidates," and the one in Connecticut, like several in the 1970s, is a middle-aged patrician, seeking office de haut en bas, and almost entirely because he can. It's really quite remarkable how someone like Ned Lamont, from the stock of Morgan partner Thomas... Sign in to see full entry.

GOP Must Raise The Minimum Wage Or Look For New Work E-mail this column to a friend! By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN August 2, 2006 -- Sometimes it’s a close question as to whether the leaders of the House are more arrogant or more stupid. The combination of the two is deadly. The arrogance stems from a deep-seated conviction that state-by-state gerrymandering has made it impossible for the Republican Party to lose the majority in the House. The stupidity is demonstrated by their refusal to take... Sign in to see full entry.
