I recommend paying attention, download the mp3.

It's so refreshing to hear some one representing the United States who doesn't stumble and stutter over facts and statistics when he's asked questions. You know, someone who talks like he knows what the fuck is going on in the world.

( political rant )

Speaking of the Clintons... This is from pollingreport.com

"Next, I'm going to read a list of people who may be running in the Democratic primary for president in the next election. After I read all the names, please tell me which of those candidates you would be most likely to support for the Democratic nomination for president in the year 2008: Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, Delaware Senator Joe Biden, retired general Wesley Clark, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, former North Carolina senator John Edwards, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Virginia Governor Mark Warner." Names rotated. N=424 Democrats and Democratic leaners who are registered to vote; MoE +/- 5.

Hillary Rodham Clinton	40%
John Kerry	16%
John Edwards	15%
Joe Biden	9%
Wesley Clark	4%
Bill Richardson	3%
Evan Bayh	3%
Mark Warner	2%
None (vol.)	2%
All/Any (vol.)	1%
Unsure	4%

If you look a little further down the site, it show some polls trying to get an idea of how Hillary would measure up against Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Jeb Bush. She's a little ways behind McCain and Giuliani overall. Of course when you break the results down by gender, she has plenty more support from women than any of her hypothetical opponents. Why does this matter?

If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, that will ensure plenty of women come out to vote for Hillary. This would easily put Hillary in the lead over McCain. If she was running against Giuliani, it wouldn't make as big a difference (he's pro-choice afterall), though it would definately be significant (he's still in a pro-life pary).

Very literally, over turning Roe v. Wade could be what puts Hillary in the White House.

( And speaking of Wesley Willis, and Bill Clinton... This is all so true. )

Rock over Bush-Cheney, Rock on Hillary-Obama
2008, put the Clintons back in the White House
