Joobo Predicts: Hillary Clinton Has Sunk Her Chances of Becoming President
In addition to the polls showing that 50% of the American people will never vote for Hillary Clinton - which means she has to win every other vote out there, an impossible task - more and more people are realizing that Hillary Clinton will say anything to anyone to get elected. And when she is actually confronted - not the baloney questions she gets from other Downercrats, but actually confronted by a media that would care to challenge her - she bleeds like a stuck pig.
Case in point: in Tuesday's debate in Philadelphia, she said that it did not make sense to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens, then said that she thought it made sense to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
The response was "Whoa!" People were stunned - heck, even the morons at MSNBC, including bonehead Chrissy Matthews and Nazi Bundmaster Pat Buchanan, were shocked at how badly she did.
And now the Clinton campaign is in free fall mode. And, better yet, when she wins the nomination of her party - and she will - this debate and her advocating of giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens will be her doom.
Prediction, on October 31, 2007: Hillary Clinton gets the Downie nomination, loses the general election with approximately 45-48% of the vote.

So, it doesn't make sense, it does make sense, it is a good idea, but she doesn't support it.
And if you don't get the feel from mere words, check it out in living color:
You could almost feel the blood draining from the Clinton campaign.
And you can bet that this little exchange will appear on a Republican ad sometime next year. And 527s will hit Hillary with it unmercilessly.
Which is why, in the end, she will lose. You cannot take both sides of an issue in one two-minute answer and be elected. Just ask John Kerry.

RUSSERT: Thank you, Brian. Senator Clinton, Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer has proposed giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. He told the Nashua, New Hampshire, Editorial Board it makes a lot of sense. Why does it make a lot of sense to give an illegal immigrant a driver's license?
CLINTON: Well, what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. We know in New York we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally. They are undocumented workers. They are driving on our roads. The possibility of them having an accident that harms themselves or others is just a matter of the odds. It's probability. So what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is to fill the vacuum. I believe we need to get back to comprehensive immigration reform because no state, no matter how well intentioned, can fill this gap. There needs to be federal action on immigration reform.
RUSSERT: Does anyone here believe an illegal immigrant should not have a driver's license?
(UNKNOWN): Believe what?
RUSSERT: An illegal immigrant should not have a driver's license.
DODD: This is a privilege. And, look, I'm as forthright and progressive on immigration policy as anyone here. But we're dealing with a serious problem here, we need to have people come forward. The idea that we're going to extend this privilege here of a driver's license I think is troublesome, and I think the American people are reacting to it. We need to deal with security on our borders. We need to deal with the attraction that draws people here. We need to deal fairly with those who are here. But this is a privilege. Talk about health care, I have a different opinion. That affects the public health of all of us. But a license is a privilege, and that ought not to be extended, in my view.
CLINTON: Well, I just want to add, I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do...
(UNKNOWN): Wait a minute...
CLINTON: And we have failed. We have failed.
DODD: No, no, no. You said — you said yes...
CLINTON: No.
DODD:...you thought it made sense to do it.
CLINTON: No, I didn't, Chris. But the point is, what are we going to do with all these illegal immigrants who are driving...
DODD: That's a legitimate issue. But driver's license goes too far, in my view.
CLINTON: Well, you may say that, but what is the identification?
If somebody runs into you today who is an undocumented worker...
DODD: There's ways of dealing with that.
CLINTON: Well...
DODD: This is a privilege, not a right.
CLINTON: Well, what Governor Spitzer has agreed to do is to have three different licenses, one that provides identification for actually going onto airplanes and other kinds of security issues, another which is another ordinary driver's license, and then a special card that identifies the people who would be on the road, so...
DODD: That's a bureaucratic nightmare.
CLINTON: ...it's not the full privilege.
RUSSERT: Senator Clinton, I just want to make sure of what I heard. Do you, the New York senator, Hillary Clinton, support the New York governor's plan to give illegal immigrants a driver's license? You told the New Hampshire paper that it made a lot of sense. Do you support his plan?
CLINTON: You know, Tim, this is where everybody plays gotcha. It makes a lot of sense. What is the governor supposed to do? He is dealing with a serious problems. We have failed. And George Bush has failed. Do I think this is the best thing for any governor to do? No. But do I understand the sense of real desperation, trying to get a handle on this? Remember, in New York, we want to know who's in New York. We want people to come out of the shadows. He's making an honest effort to do it. We should have passed immigration reform.
WILLIAMS: New subject, Senator Edwards. You have young children. As you know, the Internet can be a bit of a cultural wild west. Assuming a lot of homes don't have parental support, would you be in favor of any government guidelines on Internet content?
EDWARDS: For children? To try to protect children — using technology to protect children, I would. I want to add something that Chris Dodd just said a minute ago, because I don't want it to go unnoticed. Unless I missed something, Senator Clinton said two different things in the course of about two minutes just a few minutes ago.
And I think this is a real issue for the country. I mean, America is looking for a president who will say the same thing, who will be consistent, who will be straight with them. Because what we've had for seven years is double-talk from Bush and from Cheney, and I think America deserves us to be straight.
WILLIAMS: Senator Obama, why are you nodding your head?
OBAMA: Well, I was confused on Senator Clinton's answer. I can't tell whether she was for it or against it. And I do think that is important. One of the things that we have to do in this country is to be honest about the challenges that we face.
Immigration is a difficult issue. But part of leadership is not just looking backwards and seeing what's popular or trying to gauge popular sentiment. It's about setting a direction for the country. And that's what I intend to do as president.
RUSSERT: Are you for it or against it?
OBAMA: I think that it is the right idea, and I disagree with Chris because there is a public safety concern. We can make sure that drivers who are illegal come out of the shadows, that they can be tracked, that they are properly trained, and that will make our roads safer. That doesn't negate the need for us to reform illegal immigration.
So, it doesn't make sense, it does make sense, it is a good idea, but she doesn't support it.
