"Anonymous" Joe Klein: Hillary's a Goner
If you listen to the worldly wisdom of Joobo on a regular basis, your life will improve and you will find that all the important information needed in your life is supplied right here. So, Joobo feels pretty confident now to predict that if Hillary Clinton runs for President in 2008 she will get her head handed to her, and Downies will again be blown out of the water in national American politics.
Joobo now presents Joe Klein, formerly known as "Anonymous" (he wrote a little book back a whiles, under that nom de plume), who writes just the same thing:
Hillary in 2008? No Way! Why the former First Lady should stay in the Senate
It is wonderful to see a leftwinger like Klein to be so pained, because it is obvious that he really does want the smelly heft of a Senator from New York to really run and win. But if Joe Klein is saying Hillary is dead meat, then she really is. But it will be fun watching the Downies crawl all over themselves trying to make her their number one.

I was having a fascinating conversation with a Middle East expert about the intricacies of Israel's disengagement from Gaza when I noticed the fellow growing impatient. "Enough of this," he said. "What about Hillary?" Welcome to my life. In airports, on checkout lines, at the doctor's office: "What about Hillary?" (Everywhere except in Washington, where everyone "knows" she's running.) I shrug, I try to avoid the question, I say it's too early—and it is. But you want to know too, right? So here it is. I like Senator Clinton. She has a wicked, ironic sense of humor (in private) and a great raucous belly laugh. She is smart and solid; she inspires tremendous loyalty among those who work for her. She is not quite as creative a policy thinker as her husband, but she easily masters difficult issues—her newfound grasp of military matters has impressed colleagues of both parties on the Armed Services Committee—and she is not even vaguely the left-wing harridan portrayed by the Precambrian right. I also think that a Clinton presidential candidacy in 2008 would be a disaster on many levels.
