"When I launched my primary Senate challenge against Hillary Clinton, I always believed that we could rock the political establishment IF the race focused on the issues. And this week proved my point.
John Zogby polled New York State voters and found that if the race came down to a choice between Hillary Clinton and an unnamed anti-war candidate, 38 percent of the voters would choose the incumbent, 32 percent would pick the anti-war candidate and the rest of the voters said they weren’t sure or would vote for someone else.
So, two-thirds of the voters are ready to vote against the incumbent because of her support for the war.
This is not a surprise. My opponent is the best political example of the worst about celebrity culture: poll ratings based on name recognition and celebrity even as people know very little about where she stands, particularly on the war. I can’t tell you how many voters I have talked to in the past six months who have said, no, she can’t be for the war (yes), she couldn’t possibly support the death penalty (she does), she can’t really believe NAFTA was a good thing (yup), she can’t be for making it a crime to burn the flag because that’s a First Amendment right (sorry, but yes) and it can’t be that Rupert Murdoch is holding a fundraiser for her (want a ticket?)."

Hillary can easily go down in flames because of her stand on the Iraq War in November.
I will be glad to see her out of the picture, will you? |
