Pollsters think we should prepare for a Clinton presidency

On Tuesday, I went to a "Power Breakfast" sponsored by MSNBC and the National Journal that was moderated by Chris Matthews. It was very interesting.

The panel was made up of Peter Hart, Neil Newhouse, Charlie Cook and Linda Douglas. The guys are all pollsters and Linda is an MSNBC journalist. Peter is a Democrat, Neil is a Republican, and Charlie is non-partisan.

You'd think that they wouldn't agree on much. However, they were all agreed that in January 2009, a Democrat will be taking the oath of office. And that Democrat will probably be Hillary Clinton.

With apologies to Eric Clapton...

...Victor Davis Hanson is God. And he's doing nothing to quell my shameless man-crush on him. Check out his latest column.

I don't believe he's making many friends on the right or the left.

Here's the money graf:

"After four years of effort in Iraq, Americans may well tire of that cost and bring Gen. Petraeus and the troops home. We can then go back to the shorter-term remedies of the past. Well and good.

But at least remember what that past policy was: Democratic appeasement of terrorists, interrupted by cynical Republican business with terrorist-sponsoring regimes."
