HILLARY’S SECRET POLICE RETURNS
Published on Newsmax.com on November 19, 2007.
Are the Clinton secret police back on patrol?
It looks like they may be making a late campaign comeback.
In a week-end column, Robert Novak alleged that “agents” of Hillary Clinton are “spreading the word that she has scandalous information” about Barack Obama, but decided not to use it. (How considerate of her!)
CNN CAVES TO HILLARY, BUT SHE’LL STILL STRUGGLE IN IOWA
Published on FoxNews.com on November 16, 2007.
Under Wolf Blitzer’s gentle questioning, Hillary was able to avert another debate meltdown in the Nevada Democratic debate held last night, November 15. Asked about driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, a compliant, even subservient, Blitzer accepted Hillary’s one word answer, “No,” with no follow up. Had a better journalist been asking the questions- like Tim Russert – he would have followed up the bland negation with probing questions about why she is yet again flip flopping on the issue.
IOWA & BEYOND: NO SAFE ’08 BETS
Published in the New York Post on November 15, 2007.
Both 2008 front-runners are suddenly in danger in the Iowa caucus, the first electoral test of the presidential races.
Coming on Jan. 3 – only four weeks before the huge set of primaries on Feb. 5 – the Iowa contest will loom large in determining whether Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani face real competition or cakewalks to their nominations.
RUDY IN TROUBLE WITHOUT IOWA WIN

Even as he continues to hold a convincing lead in the national race, Rudy Giuliani may be riding for a big fall in Iowa and the other early state primaries. Mitt Romney, despite his anemic national showing, could sweep Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan, a trifecta that could give him such momentum as to sweep him to the nomination.
THE CLINTON CONUNDRUM: BILL’S DEFENSE UNDERMINES HILLARY’S CANDIDACY
Published on FoxNews.com on November 9, 2007.
During the Bill Clinton presidency, it became obvious that the president and the first lady were locked in a zero sum game of perception. The stronger people perceived her, the weaker they felt he was. Early in his tenure, news stories were rife about Hillary’s extraordinary influence on appointments, policy and political strategy. Each of these leaks sapped confidence in Bill Clinton’s strength and led to a drop in his ratings.
A STEADFAST CONSERVATIVE, HUCKABEE CAN WIN IN IOWA
Published on TheHill.com on November 7, 2007.
Mike Huckabee is on a roll. Nationally, I just won my bet with Bill O’Reilly when he broke 10 percent in the latest CNN poll. And in Iowa, he is now running second. Mitt Romney is in the lead at 27 percent, according to the latest American Research survey, with Huckabee nipping at his heels at 19 percent. Rudy Giuliani is in third at 16. John McCain still has a residue of 14 percent support left, and Fred Thompson, fading fast, is down to 8 percent.
ALPHA FEMALE HILLARY CLINTON: THE BOYS ARE PICKING ON ME!
Hillary Clinton, quintessential Alpha Female, is whining about the boys who share the presidential debate stage with her.
She says that they’re picking on her! They’re ganging up on her.
And she doesn’t like it.
BEHIND HILLARY’S DOUBLETALK
Published in the New York Post on November 2, 2007.
Every time she approaches a microphone, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton labors under the necessity of fudging on her program – offering, instead, an artificial personality and a variety of poll-tested bromides that let her duck key issues.
