In keeping with my contention that there are only two Democrats running for the presidential nomination who have sufficient political talent and position to win…Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama…the second Ratpub with equivalent talent just surfaced for real. (Giuliani being the first. McCain? Too old, too ill.)
Newt Gingrich.
I believe…on the evidence of how far he has his nose up Giuliani’s ass and how viciously he goes after Hillary Clinton in the following article…that he is running for the position of Vice-President In Charge and Head Attack Dog.
Wanna bet?
The office that Dick Cheney invented.
Watch.

DROPS NICE-GUY APPROACH TO ‘RUTHLESS’ RIVAL
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
March 1, 2007 — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich yesterday called Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton “a nasty woman” who runs an “endlessly ruthless” campaign machine.
The conservative Republican made the surprising comments – after months of taking care not to trash the Democratic presidential front-runner – in a wide-ranging New York Post editorial-board interview.
NO one speaks the truth in politics.
Not really.
Not Howard Dean, not Russ Feingold, not John Conyers.
Nobody.
It is all situational.
And the situation has changed.
Mr. Gingrich has decided (and/or been given the go-ahead by Ratpub kingmakers) that there is an opening for him. He sees a breach in the wall, and he is going after it.
—snip—
Gingrich called New York’s evolution under Giuliani “a tremendous story . . . It’s a different city.”
—snip—
[He] said the GOP needs to nominate a Ronald Reagan-type candidate and added, “I think it’s not an accident that Giuliani is running as well as he is in the polls.”
So much for the Giuliani sucking-up. Newt is a canny pol. He knows that Mr. G. has position on him. And he also knows that R.G. is not privy to the kinds of backroom DC connections on which Gingrich made his career in the House of Representatives.
So does Giuliani.
I believe that the deal has already been made
Evidence? Besides this obvious hit piece in the Post?
Go here.
Das’ right, chirren.
A REAL nice website called Rudy-Newt.
Look at the topline logo image.
Nice, eh?
It’s like time travel.
INTO THE FUTURE!!!
Ya wanna know what 2008 is going to look like on the Rat side?
Notice the order of images and names.
Rudy-Newt.
Yup.
Thar ’tis, people.
The fix is already in.
Th-th-th-th-THAT’S ALL, FOLKS.
Bet on it.
McCain is slipping rapidly in the polls, The Hero Of 9/11 is surging, and who best to manage his sorry ass?
Ol’ Newt, whose running-others credentials are FIRMLY in place from his days as Speaker of the House.
Now…
It is perfectly evident that they know who their opponent will be and are going to try to foment as much opposition to her run as possible.
Who to support with that in mind?
One guess.
“Nobody will out-mud the Clintons,” said Gingrich…
He called Clinton’s political team one of the most “talented” in U.S. history, but “endlessly ruthless.”
“You can’t beat them tactically . . . They’re too relentless, they’re too well-organized, they have too big a machine and they’ll just grind you down,” he said.
“If they think [Obama] is a real threat, they’ll just grind him up.”
—snipe—.
Errr…I mean…
—snip—
[He] dubbed Obama a great “counterimage” to Clinton, but said he doesn’t think the Illinois Democrat can win. “If the country wants therapy, they’re going to elect Obama,” he said.
There y’have it.
If Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have the talent that I think they do, they will make peace now. Immediately. And unite against the real enemy.
Giuliani/Gingrich.
Their little dust-up in Hollywood notwithstanding, it is imperative that Obama realize this is not yet his time and settle for Vice-President. I believe that he got a little carried away with his own charisma and decided that he can win the nomination. And he may be correct. But unless he has the Clinton machine and Clinton centrist votes I do not believe that he can win the election. He CAN add a huge number of votes to the Clinton candidacy, however…youth votes and minority votes particularly…and he can also put himself in the position of being the next President of the United States after Hilary Clinton if her administration is as successful politically and economically as was Bill Clinton’s.
I mean…Hillary’s not going to get caught with some good looking boy in the Oval Office.
It’s a given.
She will run a great Presidency.
Hell…she already ran one…
Politically speaking, Obama cannot LOSE any votes for that ticket because the peckerwood fools who will vote against him for racial reasons are already Hillary-haters.
So it is a win/win/win situation for both of them any way you look at it.
Clinton/Obama vs. Giuliani/Gingrich in ’08.
A FINE match-up of heavyweights.
Gonna be a great fight.
I give it to Clinton/Obama on points.
What points?
Percentage points.
The mainstream Dem/working class union/female/minority/youth/anti-Iraq/anti-Bush vote.
A small landslide.
Let’s GO!!!
(Ain’t politics grand???)
Later…
