Mrs. Clinton and Lindsey Graham for 2008?
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/24/politics/trail/25TRAIL-CLIN.html?pagewanted=print

It is the talk of the capital — a presidential ticket featuring a Northeastern liberal Democrat and a Sunbelt Republican with a military background and an independent streak. Sure, they've had differences in the past, but they have moved beyond them at this point and might want to consider teaming up.

John Kerry and John McCain? Hardly. How about Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York, and Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina? The two appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and seem to be building a powerful political partnership despite Mr. Graham's leading role in the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.

"I believe in redemption and growth and people who were previously misguided can see the light," Mrs. Clinton said about Mr. Graham's previous connection with her family. "But on several issues, we have found common cause."

The two lawmakers, both of whom sit on the Armed Services Committee and have been pressing the inquiry on the Iraqi prisoner abuse, are part of a bipartisan effort to increase health care coverage for members of the National Guard and reserves.

4. on an aside
I remember a few weeks ago, you posted a pic of Kerry in his bike riding gear, and your sentiment was that Kerry looked "goofy", or words to that effect.

What say you of *'s bike riding skills, and scars? He obviously wasn't wearing safety gear -- regardless of what his goons say.

6. Let's talk about the '96 election and the part Graham played in attempting
to cancel Clinton's victory. Graham ingnored the will of the people by taking a major role in the impeachment.

2008 is out of the question for Hillary. Kerry is going to be a two-termer with her help.

7. Ummmmm......
Hasn't it been strongly inferred through rumor and innuendo that Graham is gay?

8. Just say no to Linsay Graham
Maybe they found some common ground on the overall Iraq issues but Graham is just as bad as the rest of the republicans.

11. Hidden in this ridiculous excuse for "journalism"
is the assumption that Bush wins in 2004. Manufacturing consent.

14. Is the man really gay?

You mean no stones were thrown at his glass house during the impeachment fiasco? I believe in redemption, forgiving and the rest but some things can not just be tossed aside in the name of forgiveness, how would the individual learn to not repeat their actions and the consequence if they did so.. Forgive the sin/crime but still payment has to be exacted that is called just punishment..
