Hillary: My High Negatives Are a Positive
Friday, August 24, 2007 8:50 PM

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says her political negatives are a "blessing."

Speaking at a house party in Concord, N.H, the Democratic front-runner for the 2008 presidential nomination said she's been in the spotlight for so long that there's nothing left for her opponents to dig up and smear her with.

"The tactics... will be to drive up the negatives of whoever our nominee is, and it will all be fresh information," said Clinton, according to the Boston Globe. "It will all be, 'Oh you didn't know? Let us tell you. Let us paint a caricature...' Whereas I have the somewhat mixed, but I think rather fortunate blessing, of already starting with those negatives."

It is, but it's also kind of true... However, if that's her big "plan" to get the nomination, she must feel pretty screwed right now.

Yep. What else can she say? She turns a lot of people off and has since she was First Lady. I don't think she can reinvent herself. She is who she is.

It worked for Thatcher. $:-\$

Kind of a similar situation with early 80's England: A Labour torned apart by inner fights and poor leadership lost the credibility with the voters. And Thatcher and Tories just had to cash in on that.

Current situation in USA: A weak GOP, with lots of internal problems, has a big uphill struggle.

And IMO, it's the Republicans who will lose this Presidential election. Not the Democrats who will win it because their great politics.

Whether or not the Democrats will be able to convert it all into something, is a different matter.

Thatcher was able to stay in power for a long time, and had a lot of impact on UK with her politics.

Whether or not that politics were good, is debatable. But she was able to get the mandate to do things in the UK.

Too bad I'm not in Hawaii or I could probably score some from one of your kids or if not then certainly one of their friends.

btw - my very quick review of your recent post on the current page with links to news stories seemed to show ~ 75% from NewsMax.

Study: Even Infrequent Use of Marijuana Increases Risk of Psychosis by 40 Percent
Friday, July 27, 2007

LONDON — Using marijuana seems to increase the chance of becoming psychotic, researchers report in an analysis of past research that reignites the issue of whether pot is dangerous.

Not Refer madness all over again.

Perhaps the researchers are confusing "psychosis" with paranoia... Everyone knows that people who smoke up are paranoid that other people can tell they smoke up... Well, except in California where smoking up seems to be the norm.

But really, I think the Bush supporters should sit this one out b/c you guys supported arguably the worst president in modern history.

Everything this current president has touched has turned to dog shit.

You Bush supporters have a lot of chutzpah criticizing anyone else running for president in '08 considering your track record for the past two elections.

"They looked for psychotic illnesses as well as cognitive disorders including delusions and hallucinations, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, neuroses and suicidal tendencies.

They found that people who used marijuana had roughly a 40 percent higher chance of developing a psychotic disorder later in life. The overall risk remains very low."

It's too bad that so many voters use 'likability' as the most important criterion for voting.

That's how we got stuck with Bush.....And we all know how that turned out.
