A word to the wise dude and you might email the gop party and give this good hint i will give you, "to try" to beat Hillary. One liner attacks are not going to beat her or trumped up charges. Faith and values and morals are gone from the gop party and stay away from them. Get behind one Republican and try to rally all the gop around him. Teach the man as much as possible to speak and debate. Stay on issues and attack Hillary on issues and prove the gop nominee's position is better than Hillary's. As much as you love Rumsfield, Cheney and W, they are a anchor around the gop nominees neck. Not everyone loves this adm like you do. What has normally worked in the past on attacks, won't work this time. This article says it good and what is the best thing for the gop party now, is time. Hillary would win today, so work with time and stay on real issues that would maybe hurt Hillary.

Now, even the Republicans are all talking about Hillary Clinton as if she's got the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination all wrapped up.

There's three reasons that the GOP hopefuls are talking so much about the Senator from New York. First, they'd rather talk about her than the current Republican President. Second, the country is fairly evenly divided on Senator Clinton and a 50-50 split is better than the GOP can do on just about any issue in the debate today. Finally, of course, it's because Clinton's numbers look so good.

In fact, it's hard to find a poll of the Democratic race where Clinton is anywhere but on top. Rasmussen Reports shows her leading nationally, in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida.

Not only that, as her lead has grown, she is also seen as the most electable Democrat 50% of Democratic voters say Clinton is Very Likely to win it all if she is nominated. Another 31% say she is Somewhat Likely to win. No other candidate, in either party, comes close to those numbers.

Only one set of numbers works against Clinton at this time, and those involve days on the calendar. If the election were held today on a state or national basis, the former First Lady would be nominated by her party and elected President. But, the ultimate Election Day is still more than a year away. Even the Super Spectacular Tuesday Primary Event on February 5 is more than 100 days away.

It's not clear what could happen during those 100+ days to change the dynamics of the Democratic race, but something could happen. And that is the biggest threat to the Clinton campaign at this time.

Rasmussen Reports conducts national telephone surveys on the Presidential race every night and releases updated data from our Presidential Tracking Poll by noon each day, Monday through Friday.

For the seven days ending October 21, 2007, Hillary Clinton earns 46% of the vote. Barack Obama is second at 24% followed by John Edwards at 11%. Bill Richardson attracts 3% while Dennis Kucinich at 3% and Joe Biden at 2%. Chris Dodd is at 1% and Mike Gravel a bit below that level while 9% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters are undecided (review history of weekly results).

The seven day results typically include interviews with more than 1,000 Likely Democratic Primary Voters. This includes both Democrats and those independents likely to vote in a Democratic Primary. In some state primaries, independent voters are allowed to participate in party primaries while in others they are excluded. The margin of sampling error for the weekly update is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Updates prior to July 16 were based upon four days of polling conducted the Monday through Thursday preceding release.

Rasmussen Reports continuously updates general election match-ups and other measures for all Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates.

Did Miss. Clinton say that she wanted to end the "Culture of Corruption" yet, or is she waiting to raise all the money she needs for the campaign before throwing another one liner out there?

Paging the Clinton Campaign Staff on the Mavs board.

To be in the big boy league you need money and Ms Hillary has it, plus she has the smarts. Hillary Clinton will be your first woman president.

So she will fight the "Culture Of Corruption" after she is elected, sure she will!
