There is so little difference between Giuliani and Clinton that the Presidential Election in 2008 will be laughable. People I know in New York are having a hard time deciding who they dislike more and would rather have out of New York. American politics should not be about voting FOR any one. We should cast a ballot for the candidate we hate the most and the winner is whomever gets the least votes. To equate Hillary Clinton as the worst possible candidate is silly.

Obama is trying to win, not play second chair - He is Hillary's enemy because anyone with a soul is Hillary's enemy. I think his odds are better than most give him credit for, and that by Feb 5th it'll be Obama vs. Edwards. "Next thing you’ll tell me is that Giuliani and Hillary, and Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are enemies." No, I wouldn't, because that would be nonsense. The fact that enmity could be worse does mean it doesn’t exist.

What he's saying these days are his parting words. Why the chummy first name talk for that hag Clinton? Hagel’d already be in it had he wanted to be, and as a Republican.

Bush and Ronald Reagan in 1979/80. It is little more than good theater. Next thing you'll tell me is that Giuliani and Hillary, and Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are enemies.

Hagel has become more critical of the Iraq War lately. On other issues, he is a mixed bag for libertarians. But if Ron Paul does not run an independent/Libertarian campaign in the general election, Hagel would be better than the bipartisan warhawks. But I don't think he will run.
