Rush Limbaugh says that Hillary Clinton has an 80% chance of becoming the next President. Read about it here.

Hillary must listen to Rush because she is acting like she has already won the Dem nomination. She is taking positions and making statements that can only help her win in the general election.

For example, in a recent Dem debate, the candidates were asked if America is “safe” after 9-11. Mrs. Clinton’s carefully worded answer set her apart from John Edwards and the other candidates:

“I believe we are safer than we were…We are not yet safe enough, and I have proposed over the last year a number of policies that I think we should be following.” Read about it here.

Then, in a speech to the Take Back America conference yesterday, Mrs. Clinton was booed by the ultra liberal group Code Pink as she declared:

“We’re going to end the war in Iraq and finally bring home the troops…The American military has done its job…The American military has succeeded…It is the Iraqi government that has failed to make the tough decisions.” Read about it here.

Hillary is obviously using the Bill Clinton play book by making cleverly worded statements that will please most everyone, but those on the far right and far left. Remember Bill’s stand on abortion: “… abortion should not only be safe and legal, it should be rare.” Read about it here.

Unless the Republicans can unite around a strong candidate, like Fred Thompson, Rush may be right.
