Pure Horserace: Is GOP Stuck Mid-Stream?

Will Republican Candidates Seek To Distance Themselves From Bush's Problems?

     (AP)

(CBS)  When he was informed of his re-nomination in 1864, President Abraham Lincoln commented that his party had decided it best to not change horses in the middle of the stream that was the Civil War. It was a theme he drew on in his bid for a second term amid jitters about the conduct and course of the war.

Lincoln's would-be Republican successors today face a different question: Are they far enough across the stream — or so hopelessly stuck in the middle of it — to start leaping off the horse that brought them into it?

As the Washington Post points out today, the GOP presidential candidates remain mostly supportive of President Bush's Iraq policy. But there are plenty of other reasons to worry whether this administration has the legs to prevent them from being swept away with the current.

The string of problems not directly connected with the war doesn't seem to end these days, careening from one bad news story to the next. Most recently the White House has been buffeted by the "Scooter" Libby trial, an admission that the FBI broke laws in gathering personal information on U.S. citizens and, now, growing questions about the firings of several U.S. attorneys.

When added to past problems like the Abu Ghraib prison abuses and the handling of the Katrina disaster, the administration's saddlebags are getting heavier for all Republican presidential candidates. We've yet to see major divisions between the president and his party's 2008 field, but keep your eyes open for signs of a mid-stream switch.


The "Decision Maker" Who Wants To Be "The Decider": John Edwards looks to be taking a page from President Bush's linguistic playbook. Questioned about excerpts in a forthcoming book by Bob Shrum in which the Democratic strategist asserts that Edwards' vote to authorize the war in Iraq was made on the advice of political consultants, the former vice presidential nominee told the Washingtonpost.com: “Political people talk to you all the time. … There is only one decision maker, and that is me.”


Comparisons You Might Want To Stay Away From: Campaigning in New Hampshire today, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made a slightly bizarre connection between chronic diseases and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"There is a lot of terrorism out there that we are afraid of: buildings collapsing and planes being flown into the places where we work and live," Huckabee said, according to a report by The Associated Press. "But I'll also suggest to you that today, chronic disease will take over 2,500 Americans' lives — today. More people than died Sept. 11.”


Two Top Tiers In New Hampshire? A new poll by CBS’ Boston affiliate WBZ-TV and Franklin Pierce College finds Hillary Clinton leading among likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire with 32 percent. Barack Obama comes in a close second at 25 percent and Edwards lands in a more distant third with 16 percent.

Perhaps surprisingly, Al Gore, whose candidacy remains a matter of speculation, received 10 percent support. Is there a draft in here or is it just us? Republican results will be released later today.


Of All The Decades To Be Stuck In …: The '00s are the new '70s — without the great soundtrack. As if we needed another reminder of the similarities between current events and those divisive years, the state of Colorado has joined the nostalgia festival. The state’s legislature this week voted to make John Denver’s "Rocky Mountain High" its second official state song.

Released in 1972, the catchy ditty has long been thought of as Colorado's unofficial song. Of course, it's also been long-associated with the kind of drug use commonly associated with that decade. While there has been a long-running debate about the meaning of the lyrics, Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi recently noted, "no one was high on life in the '70s. They were just high."

When Democrats hit Denver for their nominating convention in 2008, they may want to bring along their own playlist — because this is just the kind of topic that journalists who don't have any real news to cover at these staged events might start talking about.

Hillary Clinton is among the politicians who've been seared by getting too close to certain songs. For her Senate announcement in 2000, one song played for her kickoff was Billy Joel's "Captain Jack" — a song that's also laden with drug references. The New York press had fun with that one.

Sure, it's probably no danger but Democrats would certainly rather present the image of a party singing "Kumbaya" off the same page than a bunch of '70s retreads sitting "around the campfire and everybody's high."

If I were a pre-school teacher, I might continue class after hearing about the 9/11 tragedy. I would assume that people in high government positions are dealing with the situation as best as they can. Bush is not the strong, willful leader that America would like to believe he is. He is a very personable guy with great interpersonal skills, but he has broken his campaign promises to unify Republicans and Democrats. He has created a sharply divided country and a sharply divided world. He continues to scare the American public by using the terrorist threat to promote a large portion of his policies. We will always live in a world with tragedies, but fighting a hatred of America cannot be accomplished by invasions and simply killing all those who oppose us. Bush had to be told to quit reading to the children. Maybe he really likes kids. Maybe he's just not too sure how to run a country without being told what to do.

The Ballad of The Green Beret
SSgt. Barry Sadler


Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Berets



Silver wings upon their chests
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret



Trained to live off nature's land
Trained to combat hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage taken from the Green Beret



Silver wings upon their chests
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret



Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last request



Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret

If a republican really wants to be elected president in 2008 then all he or she has to do is one simple thing, become a democrat. Bush has pis*sed in the political waters on the republican side for so long that only very rich people and very ignorant people would vote republican in 2008. Thanks George!

Considering the way the Bush family operates, one should look for a surprise resignation from D. Chaney (citing health problems) by the end of this year.
The Bush family is well aware of the power of incumbancy and they will not allow this major political advantage to simply slip through their fingers without attempting to utilize this advantage.
Such a resignation by Chaney would allow Dubya to nominate his brother, Jeb, as the person to fill this post which would protect Dubya's policies, (tax/economic, war, & social) from being overturned, probably for generations. If Democrats object, they will simply point to a recent Democratic President (JFK) who named his brother to a top post within his Administration (while neglecting to point out that JFK never set up Bobby to secede him, dynasty style, as would be the case should this senareo develop.)
It would not surprise me if such an agreement took place between Cheney, Bush I, Bush II, Jeb, and Republican stratigists prior to the Republican Convention of 2000.

Actually I would expect them to nominate Condi Rice, because then they could try to hold liberal democrats feet to the fire by daring them to vote against someone who is black AND a woman. Of course they wouldn't mention the fact that she's little more then Bush's mistress and even further the right then he is. I don't think we'd want a president who's better suited to thigh-high leather boots, with a whip in one hand and Bush's balls in the other.

Republicans are dead in the water. It will take more than one election cyle for the GOP to repair the damage done by the neo-cons. At that, my "red" friends, is the reality of the situation.

"Pure Horserace: Is GOP Stuck Mid-Stream?

What's coming from the republican end is indeed pure horse-something, however race is not the first word that leaps to mind and neither is sense.

A Quote

"Republican presidential candidates are sticking with the horse they rode in on %u2014 for now."

We have an old saying in the rural country area I came from that ends with the words "...and the horse you rode in on!". However well it may fit here (and it does) I don't believe it was specifically about politics.

General Peter Pace for president........ I hope!!! He's one of very few who will stand up for what is right these days!!! Where is all the GOP support when someone stands up for the values that the GOP ran on? Christians are getting fed up with the spineless representatives in Washington and with out the Conservative support the GOP doesn't have a chance next time around. Most "true" christians aren't going to vote on the "lesser" of 2 evils.

Why would any Republican want to follow Bush as President. Why would anyone want to follow Bush as President. They will be stuck cleaning up the incredible mess this idiot made.

I have been looking and found something that all america has forgotton.Who said this statement: If the personal freedoms of all americans by the Constitution and bill of right are Inhibiting the Government ability to (Govern)that meant control, the people of united states of america..Than we Should look to Limit those GUARANTEES #2.The united states Government CAN'T BE so fixed on our desires to preserve the RIGHTS of ORDINARY AMERICANS #3.I can do any ********* thing i want,I'm president of the united states and you dont forget that.....who am I..... so you all have been following your orders well i want you all to know that i hold all of you accountable for the murders of thousends of americans that have died and wounded in a war we have no buisness being in, you all are makeing large sums of money on americans lives and you all will pay a big price for that someday,heavens gates will never open its golden gates to you.. i hope someday that america and true americans will wake up and see that this washington crime family has sold our country to the highest bidders, china being # 1 and is # 1 in the world now, they are the supper powers of the world now.
