Hillary isn’t a pop culture celebrity because she was first lady, she’s a pop culture celebrity because there’s an entire industry established to attack or defend her. Laura and Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan, Rosalyn Carter, Betty Ford – none of these women are pop culture celebrities.

The top four on the red list are too librul for the base. Who the hell cares or knows about Frist or Hagel.

His biggest trial will be squeaking through the GOP primaries. He's more of a real threat to me than Giuliani because he's very conservative - I think Giuliani has way too many skeletons in his closet to survive presidential scrutiny.

His recent record instead shows somebody who got knuckled under the Bush/Cheney machine; if Bush is still as unpopular in 2008 as he is now, so too will be his toadies.
