I usually try to class myself as one of those who tries to keep up with current events as they happen, but this story completely slipped under my radar screen. If I have not heard or read about it, chances are you haven’t either. All of us could ask the question, “Why hasn’t the MSM been all over it?”, but we all know the answer. If this report ever sees the light of day, Senator Hillary Clinton’s chances of getting elected President are about as good as Howard Dean’s are, and that’s not very good.

Imagine my surprise when I read the following article written by Tony Snow for Town Hall yesterday. This will get you started:

“By all accounts, the 400-page Barrett report is a bombshell, capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential prospects. At the very least, it would bring to public (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

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.

Is there a possible crack forming in Senator Clinton’s support from her newly acquired home state of New York?

The Washing Post, is running an AP story, Pirro Will Challenge Clinton for New York Senate seat in the 2006 election.

Finally, the people of New York are getting tired of Hillary using their Senate seat for nothing more than a springboard for her political ambitions. Here is a portion:

“ALBANY, N.Y. — Jeanine Pirro, a high-profile prosecutor from the New York City area, said Monday she will seek the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in her bid for re-election next year.

“I am running against Hillary Clinton because New York state deserves a senator who will give her all to the people of New York for a full term, who will not miss votes to campaign in (presidential) primaries,” Pirro said in a statement.

“When Mrs. Clinton first came to us and said she wanted to be a New Yorker, she asked New York to put out a welcome mat and we did,” the Westchester County district attorney added. “But now she wants us to re-elect her even though she won’t promise to serve out her term and wants to use us as a springboard to the presidency. She’s asking us to become her doormat. I believe we deserve better.”

We wish you success Ms. Pirro!

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...)
