Hillary for President?

Given that Hussein has hit a ceiling and can't seem to establish a real lead despite all his favorable press treatment, and given all the baggage that he cannot eject, it appears that he and McCain are in a real horse race.

Also given that the oil issue has forced him to admit that drilling is needed, I would say that this will cost him 10%, or more, of his environmental wacko base.

Under these circumstances the election is over. He can't beat McCain.

If a country boy from the midsouth has this figured out you know that the Democratic power players recognize it.

The question then becomes, will they throw him under the bus in the interest of winning, broker the convention and nominate Hillary. While some may argue that they can't do that because they will lose the black vote, the facts are that the black vote has no where to go and Clinton's husband was the "First Black President."

In fact, the loss of the rebel "Hillary for President" folks from McCain and McCain's weakness among conservative Republicans returns the race to a traditional Democrat versus Liberal Republican contest, and the Democrats win.

Stay tuned dear chums. Hillary still has that lean and hungry look and Hussein may discover that the fat lay has not sung.
