I don't know whether she's really out or not but I know that the PUMA's aren't giving up.
She scares me in November more than Obama does.
I feel the reverse. She only cares about her own power -- hussein is a freaking socialist/borderline communist that will nationalize every industry and tax the hell out of everyone except his wife who has the audacity to be wealthy.
My biggest fear is that she can win the election. I'm not convinced that Obama will.
Good point.
This is the most serious risk/reward analysis I have ever done in my life.
I agree that hussein will probably lose -- the "I am a good guy" effect on the polls suggests to me that a dead heat (which is where we are) means McCain will win by 10-12 points. But if the USA is, in fact, insane, we will have Hugo Chavez/Pot Pol at the helm -- taxing any and all businesses and individuals with the audacity to be successful. He, aided by the Socialist Congress, will destroy the USA in a few years by suppressing investment and innovation. The Government will be Chicago/Illinois Government writ large -- largesses to the highest bidder.
That scenario scares me more than mrs. clinton who has demonstrated that without firing her husband pistol she is pretty useless. She could never pass Hillary-Care 2.0, nor could she pass most of the things she has suggested. Hers would be a caretaker regime, oriented at ensuring her personal power. It would not give a shit about the USA, but she would triangulate herself into active neglect. This would also be bad, since it was this thinking on her so-called husband's part that led directly to 9/11.
Pick your poison.
I'll take the latter if I must choose.
