Ernie Els Scoffs at democrat liberal Losers Idiocy

Good riddance Rosie.  Yep O'Donnell, the View has very craftily replaced you by someone prettier and smaller and fills the "role" better than you.   HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace Rosie O'Donnell next year on "The View," sources say.

A LOOKER

A rep for Barr says she has not been approached.

"It's almost like that rumor that spread last month about how she was going to be on 'Desperate Housewives,' " said Barr's spokesperson.

"She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny," said a source with knowledge of ABC's sudden and desperate search to find a new co-host to replace O'Donnell who quit the show last week.

AN UNEMPLOYED HOGSTER HOOKER

Alec Baldwin explained his decision to leave the cast of the NBC sitcom “30 Rock,” saying he wanted to spend more time berating his family.  Baldwin will be replaced Ross the intern of Jay Leno fame.  Were Ross and Baldwin actually separated at birth twins?

The airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc  
Finally, she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination."
Ed sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?"
When the attendants came by with the drink cart, he said "Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?"                  
                  
"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female."  
"My God," said Ed, "I'd better have two scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the cockpit."
"That's another thing sir," said the attendant, "We No Longer Call It The Cock Pit."

"It's The Box Office."

In 2000, USA Today reported the opinions of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder about the Presidential election. 

He's leaning toward Green Party candidate Ralph Nader, though he's reluctant to steal votes from Al Gore. A strong proponent of abortion rights, Vedder says, "With three Supreme Court positions opening in the next administration, I'm frightened to think of a Republican in office, especially one raised by a father who was in the CIA. I'm moving to a different country if little Damien II gets elected."

I'm moving to a different country if little Damien II gets elected."

Then, in mid-September, actor Alec Baldwin said something (exactly what he said, to whom, and when, remains elusive) which his wife, actress Kim Basinger, interpreted as a promise to leave the country should Bush win the presidency:

In September, Alec Baldwin gave his own summing-up of a Bush administration's aims in his local paper, the East Hampton Star. "How can they get that oil flowing in Alaska? Cut taxes for the wealthy? Create an entire industry on the false promise of school vouchers? Build more prisons? Execute more indigent defendants?" he asked.

Many Americans, including his wife Kim Basinger, interpreted this as a promise to leave. "Alec is the biggest moralist I know," Basinger told the German magazine Focus. "I can well imagine that Alec makes good on his threat. And then I'd probably have to go too."

Mitchell Fink, gossip columnist for the New York Daily News, quickly ran a column in which Baldwin not only denied that he had said any such thing, but also maintained his wife had never spoken to Focus magazine:

Welcome to Monday morning in Alec Baldwin's house.

The actor isn't moving anywhere, no matter who wins and who loses in November, but that didn't stop hundreds of hard-core conservatives from flooding Baldwin's Web site with what he called "hideous and graphic" writings urging him to get out of the country and take his wife, Kim Basinger, with him.

All this started because of a piece in the German magazine Focus, which quotes Basinger as saying that her husband would flee America if Bush beats Al Gore. The article also says that Basinger, who co-starred with her husband in "The Getaway," would stick with Baldwin if he decided to make good on his threat to get away.

The only problem is that Baldwin never threatened anything. "I never said I'd leave the country, and my wife never heard of Focus magazine and never talked to them," Baldwin told me.

Baldwin suspects that the German mag may be confusing him with director Robert Altman, who said during the recent Deauville Film Festival in France that he would leave America if Bush wins.

For the record, here's what Baldwin definitely in Gore's corner will do if his man loses: "I'll raise as much money as I can to make sure that this Bush winds up like the last Bush, a one-term President."

But, as James Hebert then reported in the San Diego Union-Tribune, Baldwin soon flip-flopped and admitted that his wife had talked to Focus magazine, and equivocated by denying that he'd said he would definitely leave the country:

Alec Baldwin insists he never said that he would leave the country if George W. Bush were elected president. The German magazine Focus insists that his wife, Kim Basinger, said in an interview that Baldwin did utter such a promise. Yada yada yada.

What makes the episode interesting is that it has turned into something of a cat fight between New York gossip columnists.

The New York Post's Richard Johnson accuses Mitchell Fink, of the rival Daily News, of being a dupe by backing up Baldwin's denial.

Baldwin, Johnson says, "frantically tried to back off his bombastic promise (to leave the country) with a statement planted yesterday in Mitchell Fink's gullible column."

A bit belatedly, Fink has Baldwin acknowledging that Basinger spoke to Focus. "But my wife and I never said unequivocally that we would leave the country if Bush won. Never," he quotes Baldwin as saying.

Also in September, American film director Robert Altman made no bones about his intentions to become an expatriate should Bush be the victor in November:

U.S. director Robert Altman, in France to promote his latest film Dr. T and the Women, said yesterday he would move to France if George W. Bush wins the American presidential election in November. Altman said he normally did not comment on politics at home, but thought a Republican victory "would be a catastrophe for the whole world." "If George Bush is elected president, I'm leaving for France.'' Altman said he disagreed with Bush's plans to cut taxes and raise military spending.

Singer Barbra Streisand reportedly said at President Clinton's final formal White House dinner in December 2000, "I don't think you'll see me around here for at least four years." Her press agents later added that the "here" in her statement referred to the White House, not the USA. (Some accounts claim that Ms. Streisand actually made this statement back in 1992, but that seems unlikely, as the 1992 election was a contest between incumbent George H.W. Bush and Arkansas governor Bill Clinton. Why would Ms. Streisand absent herself from the White House -- or the USA -- if the elder Bush were elected to a second term, when his first term of office had seemingly prompted no such reaction?)

Actress Lynn Redgrave reportedly had some caustic words to say on television's Politically Incorrect about Bush's promise to appoint "strict constructionist" judges to the Supreme Court if elected -- "That's like the people who say 'Now we're going to live our life as it says in Genesis . . . this is really scary" -- but nothing about leaving the country should Bush win.

Cher:

Cher reportedly asked in November 2000 whether Bush supporters had "lost their bleeping minds," but again we could find no quotes in which she averred she would leave the USA if Bush became president.

What happened to those celebrities who had said they'd flee the country? The London Times' Jack Malvern attempted to track them down a few days after Bush's inauguration on 20 January 2001. Alec Baldwin was sticking to his previous denial:

Alec was busy denying everything. "My wife never heard of Focus magazine and never talked to them," he told the New York Daily News on August 19. Then, on August 20: "Kim did indeed speak to a Focus magazine . . . but my wife and I never said unequivocally that we would leave the country if Bush won. Never."

During a March 2001 visit to Florida, Baldwin engaged in a battle of press quotes with President Bush's brother, Florida governor Jeb Bush, during which he continued to qualify whatever it was he'd said back in 2000:

"He had promised he would leave the country if my brother got elected," [Jeb] Bush said during a stop in Orlando. "Well he's back, I guess. We'll welcome him to Tallahassee."

But Baldwin disputed that he said he'd leave the country if George W. Bush were elected.

"I never made that statement, but you can tell Gov. Bush to rest assured that I'm not going to leave the country because we have to get him out of office and we have to get his brother out of office in 2004. We're not resting until we get that done."

Even if he had made the statement, Baldwin said there was still no reason to leave.

"Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines," Baldwin said.

Robert Altman, who had since re-interpreted his previous remarks, was disinclined to offer further comment:

Second up the gangplank was the film director Robert Altman, the man behind such films as Short Cuts and The Player. "If George Bush gets elected President, I will move back to France," he told reporters at the Cannes film festival. "He's not a very smart man. He's been put up by his father and a bunch of cronies." Despite the fact that this statement was caught on film, Altman later denied making it. He meant to say, he said, that he would move to Paris, Texas, "because the state would be better off if [Bush] is out of it".

When contacted for this article, Altman was no longer inclined to discuss the matter. "Isn't this all getting a little silly?" he asked.

And Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder was disappointed with the election results, but apparently not disappointed enough to make good on his boast:

So far Eddie [Vedder] has only got as far as Hawaii, where, his spokesman explains, he is commiserating by "catching a wave". "He won't be leaving the US but he is extremely disappointed," says Matt Reynolds of Epic Records.

THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES! By Paul Harvey 

This is proven right by both SNOPES.COM, and TruthorFiction.com  

Conveniently Forgotten Facts. Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die.

Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair.  Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of
torturing Rac kley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Connecticut

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers? In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the Killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a
scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an eastern Connecticut State
College. Isn't that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone s head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant College dean! Only in America !

Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.

How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee.

Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the United States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college de an? No, neither!

The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She is now known as the 'smartest woman in the world.' She is none other than the Democratic Senator from the state of New York ----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.

This story is basically a bummer.  A perfectly legitimate fun business being harrassed.  It's not like anyone in DC is going to want to have sex with Pelosi, Hillary or shalana millard, among other dog faces.

The demise of a call-girl ring and pending trial of an alleged madam claiming thousands of clients has the US capital riveted.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 50, dubbed the DC Madam in local media, has been arraigned in federal court on charges of operating a Washington DC prostitution service for 13 years until her retirement last year.

Palfrey has denied she ran a prostitution ring. Her company, Pamela Martin and Associates, was simply a "high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behaviour and did so without incident during its 13-year tenure," she said.

Palfrey contends her escort service provided university educated women to engage in legal game-playing of a sexual nature at $US275 ($A333) an hour for a 90-minute session, the Washington Post reported.

But Palfrey has also hinted that she has a record of the phone numbers of thousands of more than 10,000 customers that could embarrass more the a few of the US capital's high-fliers.

What FOOL thinks posting those is a blog?  Here's an idea fool, flip open your BIBLE to a random page and start typing beginning with the first sentence on the top of the left page.  Try having an ORIGINAL thought fool or unplug your computer and plug in your VACUUM.

Rosie O'Donnell immediately proposed to Ryan Seachrist.  Seachrist is presently closeted with Boy George and Elton John putting their heads together.

Shocking news out of Florida! Nearly nine months after Rep. Robert Wexler (D) said that cocaine and prostitutes are fun things to do, someone wants to take the lawmaker's job. Imagine that! No one in the political world has forgotten Wexler's comments to Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert last summer, especially Democrat Ben Graber, who announced last week he is challenging the sixth-term incumbent in the 2008 primary. Graber, an OB/GYN doctor who has held political offices in Florida, told Under the Dome yesterday that the comments were not themselves the reason why he got into the race. But will he be using the Wexler-Colbert interview as political ammo on the campaign trail? Oh, yeah. Graber, who is apparently not the kind of guy to let a gag go unpunished, suggested Wexler may not have been joking when, egged on by Colbert, he looked into the camera and said he enjoys cocaine and prostitutes "because it's a fun thing to do."

Hard to believe but the Human response was MORE critical.

As usual, Dick Morris has it right:

Polls suggest that the leading attribute attracting voters to Hillary’s presidential candidacy is her “experience,” a virtue which contrasts, presumably, with the lack of it in Senator Barack Obama, her chief rival.  But a close examination of her record as first lady and as New York Senator suggests that her experience is largely in the avoidance of death by scandal.  Were it to be captured in a television series, it would certainly not rise to the level of “Commander In Chief” and probably not even to that of “West Wing.”  It would find its televised metaphor in the reality series ”Survivor.”

Consider what her experience has been.  She burst forth on the national stage with two tasks in her husband’s administration: The selection of the nation’s first female Attorney General and the design and adoption of a comprehensive program of health care reform.  Her efforts to designate an Attorney General hamstrung the new Administration for months as two nominees, in succession, had to withdraw their names from consideration.  Finally, at the eleventh hour, she urged her husband to appoint Florida’s Janet Reno, a selection Bill Clinton would come to describe as “my worst mistake.”  In the bargain, she suggested the appointment of Lani Guanier as head of the civil rights division, a job she was shortly forced to relinquish when her radical views became known, another embarrassment for the new Administration.  Her other selections for the Justice Department, the White House staff and the Treasury were her three law partners: Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy, appointments which culminated in one imprisonment, one suicide, and one forced resignation.

Her other assignment, health care reform, collapsed in such a debacle that it cost her party control of both houses of Congress, a fate from which it took twelve years to recover.

Beyond these initial tasks, her main focus in the Administration was scandal defense.  From Jennifer Flowers to Whitewater to the FBI file affair to the travel office firings to her Commodities Market winnings to the missing Rose Law Firm billing records to the Paula Jones scandal, she orchestrated the Administration’s defense against scandal allegations.  In the process, she almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice. 

And her advice in handling these matters was uniformly bad.  It was Hillary who counseled Bill not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit even when the plaintiffs called for neither an apology nor payment and she who stonewalled the release of Whitewater documents even when it led to the appointment of a special prosecutor.  When the prosecutor whose appointment she had caused heard about the depositions in the Paula Jones case she had refused to settle, the Monica Lewinsky scandal eventuated.

During the period of 1995-1997, the period of the Clinton Administration’s greatest achievements, she was nowhere to be seen, focusing instead on writing It Takes A Village, and on dodging criminal inquiry.  She did not participate in the formulation of a balanced budget, nor in welfare reform legislation, nor in the reduction of crime that stemmed from the 1994 anti-crime bill.

Her experience continued when her race for the Senate and its aftermath became, in turn, mired in scandal.  The pardon of the FALN terrorists to get Latino support in New York, that of the New Square Hassidim to get Hillary Jewish support, and the clemency shown toward Hillary’s brothers’ clients to get them financial support caused her ratings to plunge to their lowest level in March of 2001 as she took her Senate seat.  The theft of White House gifts, almost $200,000 of which had to be returned, did nothing to endear her to the electorate.

Since then, Hillary has done nothing of note in the Senate except to vote for the Iraq War, a position she has since disavowed, and to win the applause of her colleagues for not being partisan and obstinate.  Her main efforts have been directed at raising massive sums of money for herself and her colleagues and making a lot writing and selling her memoirs.  Her efforts on behalf of New York after 9-11 have been exposed as largely derivative of those of her colleague, the more effective Chuck Schumer.

She has passed no important legislation, except for twenty bills renaming post offices and courthouses and congratulating Alexander Hamilton, Shirley Chisolm, Harriet Tubman, the American Republic, and the Syracuse men’s and women’s Lacrosse team on their respective accomplishments.

Theodore Ernest "Ernie" Els is a South African Golfer, age 41, who has been one of the top professional players in the world since the mid-1990's.  He is known as "The Big Easy", for his imposing physical stature (he stands 1.90 metres) along with his fluid, seemingly effortless golf swing.

Ernie has won the US Open twice and the British Open once.  Unlike most of his contemporaries, Els is known for his willingness to participate in tournaments all around the world (he regularly plays in European Tour-sanctioned events in Asia, Australasia, and his native country of South Africa). He says that his globe-trotting schedule is in recognition of the global nature of golf.

The Ernie Els and Fancourt Foundation was established in 1999. It has the objective of identifying youths which show talent and potential in the game of golf from under-privileged backgrounds. It provides educational assistance amongst other moral and financial help in order for these youths to reach their full potential.

What a time saver.  No spillage.  A Taipei restaurant-bar is letting visitors order "medicine" from a menu and dripping it into their glasses from a transparent ceiling-suspended vat, becoming the latest oddball themed restaurant in Taiwan's capital.

As many as 10 visitors can sit around each bed at the D.S. Music Restaurant, a hospital-themed eatery, and watch showgirls dance on weekend nights or chat up "nurses" whose rabbit-ears complement their starched white uniforms.

The 130-seat restaurant, which features crutches hung from the walls and a wheelchair parked in the lobby, is the only one with a hospital theme in Taiwan.

Buzz around a little -- and vanish without a trace.

Billions of bees have done just that, leaving the crop fields they are supposed to pollinate, and scientists are mystified about why.

The phenomenon was first noticed late last year in the United States, where honeybees are used to pollinate $15 billion worth of fruits, nuts and other crops annually. Disappearing bees also have been reported in Europe and Brazil.

HILLARY IS MAKING ME HAVE SEX WITH HER.....HELP !!!!!!

Hard to believe this boozehound made it to 76.  In his prime Boris could give Ted Kennedy a run for his money but apparently Ted has more overall endurance.

Were there highlights during his presidency?  Death rates, suicides, alcoholism, joblessness, prices, mafia activity and violent crime soared. Birth rates, pensions, health care standards, factory output and state support for kindergartens and social welfare programs fell dizzyingly. So, as time wore on, did Yeltsin's popular appeal.

RIP BORIS YOU LOVABLE TEDDY BEAR

ALERT: HUGE INCREASE IN HILLARY’S NEGATIVES CHANGING PRESIDENTIAL RACE!

By Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

April 18, 2007

Printer-Friendly Version

There has been a sudden and highly significant shift  in the Democratic Presidential race: Hillary Clinton is rapidly losing her frontrunner position to Barack Obama as her negative ratings climb.

According to the Gallup poll, most Americans don’t like Hillary Clinton and the number of people who view her negatively has been steadily increasing ever since she announced her candidacy for President in January.

Hillary isn’t wearing well. It seems as if the more people see her, the less they like her. Now, for the first time, her low likeability levels are costing her votes, as Democratic party voters are abandoning her to support Barack Obama.

In February, Hillary had a 19 point lead over Obama. He is now only 5 points behind her.

The most recent Gallup Poll, taken on April 13-15^th, shows the biggest increase in negative opinions of Hillary since March of 2001, when she was awash in the pardons and White House china theft scandals.

Gallup, which had Hillary’s favorability rating up as high as 58% in February, now shows that only 45% of American voters rate her positively, while 52% have negative opinions of her. This is a huge shift.  In the fourteen years that Gallup has been polling Hillary, there have only been two recorded polls with worse ratings for her - the March, 2001 poll where her favorability was 44% and a January, 1996 survey when she scored only 43% favorable.

Capitalizing on Hillary’s declining image, Barack Obama, who is rated favorably by 52-27, has now closed to within five points of her in the Democratic Primary trial heat.  The latest numbers are:

       Hillary Clinton             31%

       Barack Obama            26%

       John Edwards              16%

       Al Gore                       15%

These numbers mean serious problems for Hillary.

Particularly startling is the collapse of her favorability among key demographic subgroups that are usually considered to be stable parts of her political base. Her campaign is premised on a strategy of attracting women – especially young and single women. Yet, in the last month she has lost 7% of her favorability among all women, 10% among women aged 18-49, and 11% among single women.  She is losing her base.

The following table compares the Gallup findings for several of these key subgroups in polling between November 9^th and March 4^th with those in their most recent three surveys taken between March 23^rd and April 15^th.  (Gallup pools its polling in this fashion so each subgroup will have a statistically valid number of interviews)

       RATINGS OF HILLARY AMONG KEY SUBGROUPS

              Source: Gallup Polls

Group                  Favorable Percentage      

                           Nov 9 – Mar 4    Mar 23-Apr 15

All adults                    55%                    46%       -9

Democrats                  86                        78         -8

Independents              52                        43         -9

Liberals                       81                        73         -8

Women                       61                        54         -7

Women, 18-49            65                        55         -10

Single Women             69                        58         -11

Nonwhite                     78                        73         -5

The obvious question is this: What has caused this sharp decline?  There is no current Hillary or Bill Clinton scandal, for a change.  She has not been subjected to any negative media campaign and Obama and Edwards, her two rivals, have been positively gentle in their treatment of her.

So, what’s happening?

One is driven to the conclusion that Hillary is defeating herself!  Voters are watching the former first lady in her first extended period of national exposure since her health care debacle and don’t like what they see. She appears scripted, phony, artificial, and even boring. Her ridiculous attack on Obama last month completely backfired. And her southern-preacher accent in Selma was downright scary.

Undoubtedly her flip-flop-flips on the Iraq War and insistence that she was just voting to send more U.N. inspectors are also stimulating a sense of cynicism about her and she has no other issue to take its place.

Her overall decline is serious, but her slippage among her key groups – a 10 point drop among all women and an 11 point decline among single women – must be particularly troublesome for her advisers.

Worse, from her point of view, there seems no obvious cure in sight.  Hillary is not about to clarify her position on the war as she seeks to straddle a general election strategy of being a moderate with a primary campaign emphasis on moving to the left.  She has no national forum for new issue positioning and the more she becomes exposed to public view, the more her negative ratings increase.

And she can’t alter her personality more than she already has. In short, Hillary’s in trouble.

LETTERS FROM WOMEN DEAR ABBY ADMITTED SHE WAS AT A LOSS TO  ANSWER

Dear Abby, A  couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged  gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her  mid-twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese? 
 
Dear Abby, What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence on My VCR? 

Dear Abby,  I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so  much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his. 

Dear Abby,  I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should  share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough  to discuss money with him. 
 
Dear Abby,  I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again. 

Dear Abby,  Our son writes that he is taking Judo.  Why would a boy who was raised a Christian turn against his upbringing. 

Dear Abby,  My forty year old son has been  paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every   week for two and a half years. He must  be crazy. 
 
Dear Abby,  My mother is mean and short tempered.  I think she is going through mental pause. 

Dear Abby, You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in Sex to send him to a doctor.  Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a  doctor.  Now what do I do now?

THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

By DICK MORRIS

All the polling and analysis of the 2008 presidential primaries neatly bifurcate their consideration into partisan categories. In the Democratic primary, Clinton, Obama and Edwards face off, while in the Republican contest, the polls take measure of Giuliani, McCain, Romney and, depending on their assumptions, Gingrich and Fred Thompson. But this analysis fundamentally ignores one of the most important elements in the looming contest of 2008: the likelihood that independents and even Republicans may enter the Democratic primary to support or oppose Hillary Clinton. So polarizing is her candidacy that the migration into the Democratic primary could be enormous, even so large as to overshadow the core Democratic partisans who always vote in their party’s contests.

In all, 24 states — including big ones like California, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois — with a combined 56 percent of America’s population permit independents to vote in the Democratic primary; 19 states, with 39 percent of the population, let anyone vote in either primary, even if they are registered in the opposite party. More importantly, among the early states, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina have completely open primaries and permit voters to choose whichever primary they wish. California law is particularly odd (as is often the case with that state). Independents can vote only in the Democratic primary — not in the Republican contest. This  provision virtually assures a massive influx of unaffiliated voters into the Clinton-Obama battle.

Crossovers were an important factor the last time both parties had simultaneous nominating processes. In 2000, Bush and Gore wrapped up most of the votes of the loyalists of their respective parties while challengers McCain and Bradley split the independent vote. Had either McCain or Bradley not run, it is possible that the remaining candidate would have gotten so many independent votes that he might have been nominated.

But in 2008, all the gravitational pull will be into the Democratic primary. If Giuliani is well ahead by primary season, the GOP contest could turn out to be anti-climactic. But even if the Republican primary will be fought closely, none of the candidates has the same potential to attract or repel voters as Hillary Clinton.

So which will it be? Will Hillary attract or repel independent voters? The Gallup organization recently released a composite of its polling on Hillary among independents over the past three years. It found that while Democrats hold a favorable opinion of the former first lady by 83 percent to 13, independents break in her favor by only 51 percent to 43. Republicans, needless to say, dislike her: Among GOPers the favorable rating is only 20 percent to 76.

Given these data, two factors would indicate that the crossover voting laws may spell trouble for Hillary:

If she only leads Obama by 5 to 10 points among Democrats when she has an 83-13 favorability rating, she will likely do much worse among independents.

The passion and the depth of animus against Hillary, particularly among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, may be so intense as to motivate them to participate in the Democratic primary in great numbers.

Most current polling fails to capture the likelihood of crossover voting. News media surveys generally ask Democrats what they think about the Democratic field and Republicans what they think about the GOP contenders. Since half the states do not permit independents, much less members of the opposite party, to enter the primaries, few national samples ask independents what they are likely to do. Those that do tend not to divide their samples along the lines of each state’s law; fewer still ask Republicans if they will vote in the Democratic primary. So crossover voting is a blind spot in most current polling.

All strategists and pollsters need to amend their thinking to view the primaries as the three-dimensional processes they really are.

That's it.  I agree with Barry.

Hillary has decided how to handle Bill IF she wins (doubtful).

BILL'S RESPONSE?  "WE ALL KNOW WHO BELONGS IN THE DOG HOUSE."

FLY WITCH...FLY

I know parents who have not heard about their kids who are there.  Please keep them in your prayers.  The fear, shock and horror must be unimaginable.

Is that sweat on Hillary's brow?  Obviously not from sex.  The shrew thought she was a shoo - in but maybe not...HAHAHAHA

Hillary and Bill have made an unpleasant discovery over the past three months: Without the ability to pass out coveted goodies, like over-nights in the Lincoln Bedroom, invitations to White House coffees and state dinners, trips on Air Force One, weekends at Camp David, lucrative government contracts, top appointments, and the power to sign or veto legislation, their ability to raise money is far less than it once was.

That’s one of the key reasons why Hillary came in second in fund-raising for the first quarter.

For years, people have wondered whether the Clinton money machine was based on ideology and personal loyalty, or just the plethora of presidential perks at Bill’s disposal. The first quarter results give a resounding answer: It’s the perks, stupid.

Coming from nowhere, without any strong pre-existing donor base, Senator Barack Obama’s sensational showing in the first quarter — amassing $25 million in campaign contributions — has left the Clintons sputtering. And his astonishing bottom line is only part of his surprise upset in beating Hillary. While she narrowly edged out the new kid on the political block in the total amount raised, Obama outscored Hillary 2:1 where it really counts: the number of individual donors. This is a big win for Obama and demonstrates both the depth of support for an attractive alternative to Hillary, as well as the finely tuned organizing skills of the first term senator.

In the first three months of 2007, 100,000 people gave Obama money, while Hillary’s fund-raising base was only half as large with 50,000. That’s a big difference, especially when the distant second place went to the former first lady — who, along with her former president husband, has been cultivating fat cat Democrats and building a donor network for more than 16 years. Even with Bill — the man she calls the ‘most popular man in the world’ — working overtime to track down every last Clinton supporter with money, she (and he) could only attract half as many donors than a rookie from Illinois — so much for popularity.

And Obama’s money just keeps on coming! His campaign announced that he raised an additional $500,000 online in the 24 hours since he announced his total on Wednesday. That means that he raised almost $7.5 million to Hillary’s $4 million from online donors. And Obama has added another 4,300 new donors!

Early in the presidential race, the amount of money a campaign has raised matters as much as the number of donors who anted up. You can always go back to your donors and get more money, unless they have already maxed out. An initial $100 donor can become a $500 contributor by the end of the race. Direct mail donors can be re-solicited again and again and online donors keep on giving. So the key is to be able to go back to donors for more. With twice as many donors as Clinton, Obama will be able to raise much more money — much more than the former first lady.

Hillary won’t disclose how many of her donors have reached the maximum of $2200 for the primary, and $2200 for the general election. But, reports of her fund-raising tactics suggest that she squeezed her donors dry. In practical terms, this means that she has fewer donors to go back to for later donations.

So, what happened with Hillary? It’s not that she didn’t pay attention to raising money — she and Bill were working overtime to try and build a definite lead that would clearly establish her as the invincible frontrunner. That didn’t work.

Why doesn’t her frontrunner status and long history of raising big bucks translate into more donors and more money?

One answer may be Clinton’s solicitation fatigue. The Clintons are always knocking at the door with their hands out. Donors may be very tired of the constant phone calls from Chappaqua – for the Clinton Library, the Tsunami, Katrina, Hillary’s Senate campaign, Bill’s birthday, HILLPAC, Bill’s Global Initiative, etc. etc. When donors see the “914” area code (for Chappaqua) on their caller ID, they may understandably cringe and not answer. Soon, the donors may be asking their Public Service Commission to put Bill and Hillary on their no-call list!

But the most significant reason that the Clintons didn’t hit a home run in the first quarter may be due to the fact that they don’t have any more perks to hand out. The Clintons brought new meaning to presidential fund-raising by giving donors free reign of the White House. From Johnnie Chung to David Geffen, they handsomely rewarded their donors with an open door policy. Now, they obviously can’t do that.

And, at this rate, they may not be able to do it again the future either.

California became a state.  The State had no electricity.  The State had no money.  Almost everyone spoke Spanish.  There were gunfights in the streets.  Basically, it was just like California today, except the women had real boobs, and the men didn't hold  hands.
