I see from the news that Cindy Sheehan, the unstable mother of a man killed doing his duty in Iraq, is protesting in New York City this time, where apparently she has only been able to scare up "hundreds" of followers. That is pretty pathetic in a city the size of New York. But they're only liberals there--not stupid, at least not completely. They know a sinking ship when they see one. Rumor has it she even chided Hillary Clinton for not being tough enough on the war. "We need to stop making this war profitable," she declared. Let's see...rising casualties, no change in the price of oil or gasoline, more aid to Iraq than ever...yeah, it's real profitable. Rush Limbaugh thinks Sheehan has gone too far and will never be heard from again now that she has dared, as a Leftist, to take on Hillary Clinton. I think it's being staged. If Sheehan publicly attacks Hillary for "not being tough enough" on Bush's Iraq policy, Hillary will be seen as a moderate, which is what she has been posturing as for some time. These Leftists all work together.
Newsmax is increasingly reminding me of a certain Kerry advisor I saw on TV while in London last Fall. Throughout election night, he grew more and more tense and kept shouting at the interviewer, "I don't know why the numbers are like this. People are still waiting to vote. They can't shut down the polls already. I just know there are more Democratic votes out there. Kerry will win." For Newsmax though, the question is on Condi. Having spent weeks letting Dick Morris predict that Condi is the only candidate who can beat Hillary, and having to face Condi's declaration that she is not running for President in '08, Newsmax published a rumor that Cheney is going to resign and Condi will replace him. If this turns out to be true, it would prove that the Bush administration has lost its marbles. Cheney has repeatedly said he will not run for president in '08. The law requires a new VP to win confirmation by the Senate...but every Senator on the Hill is planning to run him/herself for the President. The appointment of Condi to such a position would signal that Bush is choosing her as his replacement and the Senators would be completely unwilling to have a rival that kind of prestige. Maybe Newsmax should give it up with Condi...by like three months ago.
