Dan Patrick of KSEV 700 talk radio in Houston guest hosted the Laura Ingraham show this morning. During the course of the show, he made a prediciton concerning the 2008 Presidental election.

His prediction is that we would see Senator Hillary Clinton as the Democrat nominee, and she would be running against former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich as the Republican nominee. If his prediction holds true, it would certainly put a little excitement into the race.

Newt Gingrich besides being a former Congressman from Georgia’s Sixth District, was also the former Speaker of the House of Representatives. He has a great mind, is a gifted speaker, and a great author. His latest book, Winning The Future: A 21st Century Contract with America, is about the “five threats that could undermine, if not eliminate, the United States if immediate steps are not taken to correct them”.

Dan Patrick is also author of The Second Most Important Book You Will Ever Read.

Just a thought to toss around for 2008.

Patrick Ruffini is holding a straw poll of 5 candidates for the 2008 election. Cast your vote here, and see who is in the lead. The candidates are, George Allen, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Frist, John McCain, Mitt Romney.

We have been reading, listening, and watching as the controversy concerning Ed Klein’s new book, The Truth About Hillary, and have been quite puzzled.

We have heard his book ripped by the left and the right. We should say at the outset, that we have not read the book, and are not necessarily promoting the book, but want to offer some of what others have had to say about it.

The following links are from some of most trusted writers in both old and new media, and they are divided in their reviews.

Captain Ed, said in, Ed Klein Goes Too Far, the following:

“Someone needs to ask Ed Klein why he felt it necessary to include this accusation as part of his biography. It’s hardly germane to her politics, or to her life in politics. It’s the kind of tawdry Weekly World News (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

It’s not too early to be thinking about who will run on the Republican ticket in 2008. If you pay any attention to MSM outlets, one would think Senator Hillary Clinton has it all wrapped up, and is ready to move back in to the White House.

Two different perspectives today should peak our interest in the 2008 Presidental race even at this early date.

First, from the Wall Street Opinion Journal, an article written by Brendan Miniter entitled, The McCain Myth. We will only look at a very crucial part of the article which says the following:

“Now, however, the answer to the question is obvious: Conservatives can and do win elections for the Republican Party. What the McCain Myth ignores is that for now a majority of voters nationwide embrace conservative principles. Talk of being a “compassionate conservative” notwithstanding, it wasn’t maverick moderatism that (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Red State has an article entitled, On the Political Ineptitude of Hillary, written by The Horserace Blogger. If you want an education in politics, this is the guy to follow. He will some day be up there with Michael Barone when it comes to analysis. This article deals with Senator Hillary Clinton’s obvious run-up to the presidency in 2008. Here is a portion:

“And Hillary Clinton is a bad politician. Ironically her awfulness as a politician is why people think she is so great. Her political moves are so obvious that everybody discusses how “political” she is. “Oooooh…she is so Machiavellian!” Pundits are in awe of how overtly political she is — and they assume that her overtness is a sign of her excellence. Far from it. As anybody who has read The Prince knows, the true Machiavellian is one that everybody thinks is a saint.”

His final conclusion is this:

“Or, to quote Kaiser Soze, “The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” Hillary is no political devil precisely because everybody is convinced that she is!”

This is an excellent read on Hillary. The Horserace Blogger writes from a position of research and depth on this subject.

So should we fear Hillary? If the Horserace Blogger is correct, we need have no fear.
