It's official: Hillary's in!!

If anyone ever entertained a doubt she was running for President, Hillary Clinton just dispelled it with an official announcement. Ellen Wulfhorst of Reuters reports:


Democratic U.S. Senator and former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday entered the 2008 presidential race, officially joining a crowded field for her party's nomination.


"I'm in. And I'm in to win," Clinton wrote on her Web site that reads "Hillary for President."

The second-term U.S. senator from New York and former U.S. first lady had been widely anticipated to announce her bid to become the first woman to win the U.S. presidency. She is considered a front-runner among five other candidates in the Democratic White House field.

So, just that quick. No "listening tour," no "consultations" with advisers and Party leaders.

I hate to admit it, but she is the class of the field so far.

Great now just remember, when you say/print/think Hillary Rodham Clinton you have to add 'first female presidential candidate and former first lady'....each and EVERY TIME!!!

I hate to admit it, but she is the class of the field so far.

And WHAT class would THAT be, pray tell?

"A Capitol Hill police officer was ordered to inform the Clintons that everyone was ready and waiting [for the 1993 inaugural festivities]. The policeman knocked and opened the door of the holding room. He immediately shut it, beating a hasty retreat. Hillary Clinton was screaming at her husband in what was described as 'uncontrolled and unbridled fury.' ... The Capitol Hill police and the Secret Service quickly conferred about intervening if it appeared the president's life might be threatened by the first lady!" -- former FBI Special Agent Gary Aldrich, Unlimited Access

On November 24, 2001 former DEMOCRATIC congressional aide Chris Matthews told former DEMOCRATIC congressional aide Tim Russert (AND his nationwide TV audience) on MSNBC that former DEMOCRATIC pollster Pat Caddell had said, "The Clintons -- they're 'white trash,' and I can say that because I'm from Florida."

I added my entry to be Hillary's first guest blog. Think I will win?

When will we finally be free of the Clinton? Well it looks like never. America needs leaders, people who have the ability to recognize that our country is fighting an evil enemy that will not stop until we are defeated. No democrat, and especially no one Clinton has the abilities and courage to lead us in the an all out war against the terrorist who kill US military personnel and their own people for the glory of Islam and world domination.

What ever happened to the FDR democrats? They silently slithered away in the vile stench of defeat. The last mid-term election was an opportunity to lead - but leading by showing our enemy resolve - not a cut and run attitude. It's so apparent to many that democrats will stand for anything that is opposite of what our true course should be. I see no courage in democrats. I see no resolve in democrats. But I do see fear - fear from the loss of power. Unfortunately too many Americans have been fooled by your party.

I stand firmly on the belief that we cannot allow terrorist one moment of peace in our resolve to fight for freedom. Will Senator Clinton stand for freedom? No she will only stand for defeat of our military and victory for our enemies.

I shall not vote to place another Clinton in the White House.

If you're a democrat in the primaries and your campaign slogan isn't: 'C'mon, people, isn't 20 straight years of Clintons and Bushs enough?' you need to rethink your slogan. Even if your slogan is: 'Hey, I'm a nice looking black guy and I want to be your President!' you can still do better.

And, as always, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Hillmeister for the nearly 3 weeks of time she put in as Senator before bailing out on New York. Glad she didn't make me any campaign promises that I could pretend she might attend to.
