 Rich Giberti reviews...
Hillary just announced she was in the race til the end - no prisoners. Obama can continue to run at his own peril and the peril of the Democratic party, or he can join her and be the vice-president - a sure winning ticket.
br /
br /Was this event foretold seventy years ago? Is it a part of a greater plan known by Almighty God?
br /
br /Christianity is rooted in OT prophecy, going all the way back to the book of Genesis (3:15) where God says to the serpent (an upright being before it was cursed), "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel." NKJV
br /
br /God prophesies that seed, a descendent of Adam/Eve would eventually arise to once and for all "bruise" or crush the head of the serpent (who represented evil). So any questions, really should be ones that address to some extent prophecy. Not generic or vague prophecy either - that is what makes the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ so unique - the many, many detailed specific prophecies that were given and then fulfilled.
br /
br /God still works that way today. Contemporarily a man was called by God to be a prophet to forerun the second coming of Christ, and to warn the world about coming destruction.[...]
br /
br /I had a friend with mad mathematical skills compute the numerical odds of these prophecies coming to pass, and here are a few of the outcomes: to have four of the seven be fulfilled, the odds are 1:1,000,000. Five of seven? 1:8,000,00 - for all seven to come to pass? 1:1,000,000,000 - that's right, one in one billion. That would be like building a warehouse 2 miles by four miles - eight square miles and within that warehouse would be shelf upon shelf of Bibles, with ONLY one that was say highlighted with the passage John 3:16. The odds of a person going into that warehouse and finding that one Bible is one in one billion.
br /
br /Guess what? five have come to pass exactly, and the sixth one appears ready to take the stage - it pertains to a woman raising up in America that would be president and possibly a dictator - this back in 1933! Could Hillary Clinton be this president/dictator??
br /
br /That would leave but one prophecy - the destruction of America. Could it be??
br /
br /Now there is a question for Christians :)

 Could He Be More Wrong?
Wow, I came across this in a used book store over the weekend, and had a chance to evaluate John's hypothesis.
br /
br /He pretty much got the entire 2008 race wrong. First, John overestimated Hillary's strengths, engaging in classic "Clinton panic." Then he underestimated Obama's strength as a campaigner. Finally, he got Rudy badly, horribly, embarrassingly wrong.
br /
br /Has John come clean on how he got things all messed up?

 Great, but frightening information about our former first lady
I have gotten a lot of good information from this book. It is frightening to see what Hilary has set out to do. She is determined to be president no matter the costs. I believe if she reaches the White House(and please God, no) she will be a little Caesar. I read the newspaper articles at the time she and her husband left the white house and how they trashed it and took items that were not supposed to leave the White House. She has no regard for the good of the country, only what she can get. I believe she is capable of getting to her goal no matter what she has to do or who she has to step on.
"Misunderestimating" Hillary Clinton
If "Bush Country" demonstrated that George W. Bush came to power as a result of being "misunderestimated" by his opposition, "Can She Be Stopped?" argues that Hillary Clinton will use the tactic in 2008. Whether one likes her or not, it must be admitted that Hillary is the Queen of Coyness -- with Bill playing right along in the game. How many interviews with Bill have we seen in the past few weeks, in which he pretends not to know whether Hillary is running in 2008? Make no mistake, Hillary is running and she will be a force to be reckoned with, as John Podhoretz reminds us time and again.
br /Moreover, Podhoretz insists that in addition to being coy, Hillary will try to slide into office as a "stealth" candidate, overcoming her high "negatives" with the hope that the MSM won't press her to state her positions on major issues. Thus, Podhoretz counts down 10 strategies that Republicans can use to pin her down on major positions in the coming months before the mid-term elections, upon which the real 2008 campaign will begin.
br /While many will discount Podhoretz's warnings as part of a Republican scare campaign against Hillary and the chaos she will supposedly wrought once in office, it remains to be seen whether his predictions will be right. But, then, it will be too late.
br /In this book, Podhoretz, who, it seems to me, is probably one of best-educated writers on current events, keeps a light-hearted tone throughout the book, just as he did in "Bush Country." This book never bogs down.
br /Not everyone will like his conclusion, however, that Rudy is poised to be the Dragon-Slayer. But, that too, may be an eventuality we will need to prepare for.
Preaching to the Right Wing Choir Sheds Little Light on 2008
This book looked good at first glance - a treatise on the plausibility of Hillary Clinton being elected President in 2008 and how the Republicans can stop her. And the banner "Author of the New York Times bestseller Bush Country" on the cover seems to confer additional gravitas.
br /The table of contents seems to promise an objective analysis organized into sections like "Part I: Why, in spite of everything, Hillary can be elected President" with five supporting chapters and `Part III: "Stop Hillary: A Ten Point Plan."
br /But if you're not a devoted reader of the New York Post or viewer of Fox News, ten minutes inside this book will have you wondering why you bought it. This book is built on a thin veneer of rationality. One need read just a few pages to see that Podheretz's thesis is constructed on the quicksand of classic right wing paranoia. The author clearly addresses his intended audience on page two when he states, "You can forestall and prevent the most frightening and disastrous outcome of" Election Day 2008. He exhorts his reader to "ensure that this nation will be safe and secure and economically viable" by stopping Hillary from being elected.
br /Chapter I is entitled "Yes, She Has `High Negatives' - And They Might Even Help Her" seems promising, but the author goes on such a rant about her high negatives, that he undermines his thesis.
br /Podheretz is a man seemingly consumed with hate or one who lives in a right wing bubble. He repeatedly trashes Hillary for her original sin which was, to declare that she wasn't "standing by my man, like Tammy Wynette" when the Gennifer Flowers controversy threatened to derail her husband's 1992 presidential campaign. Never mind that she actually did stand by him.
br /And to hear Podheretz tell it, Bill Clinton nearly destroyed the US economy by balancing the budget in the late 1990s. And "I submit that [Hillary] the senator is a Trojan Horse and the real Hillary is inside waiting to burst through and alter the course set by George Bush." Yet the author offers no evidence of the truth of this Trojan Horse thesis. Nor does he acknowledge that most Presidents must lean toward the center to remain politically viable. Podheretz actually believes (or wants us to believe he believes) that Bush's disastrous foreign policy with Iraq as its centerpiece has made us safer and more secure and that Bush's economic policies have strengthened the economy, etc. or so he says.
br /If you enjoy the loopy, attack mode logic of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly (or if you just want to get inside their heads for a few hours) you may enjoy this book. Ann Coulter fans will love this book. But if you're looking for a serious analysis of the 2008 presidential campaigns and election, I suggest you look elsewhere.
