  1. Hutchison is behind Perry, who is running hard-right--a winning TX GOP primary strategy.But doubts about Perry make a KBH comeback possible.
  2. If she wins, she'll resign. No Dem can beat her 4 GOV. But if she loses, we'll see. Her seat is not up til '12. TX wants her seniority.
  3. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison(R-TX) now says she won't resign until the March GOV primary. She's in a death match with Gov. Rick Perry(R).
  4. If Sarah Palin is the 2012 GOP nominee for President, the Republican party platform will be the longest suicide note ever written.
  5. Parties usually try to pick POTUS winners, but every now and then they implode, as GOP did in '64 or Dems did with George McGovern in 1972.
  6. But I hold to what I've said consistently. Palin as GOP nominee for POTUS would be 2012's equivalent of 1964's Barry Goldwater. D landslide.
  7. It boild down to this: While unlikely, Republicans could nominate Palin for POTUS in a weak, divided field. Her base votes in R primaries.
  8. Sarah Palin's book? It will be long forgotten by the time the GOP POTUS contest begins in earnest. Views about Palin are firm, pro & con.
  9. All you need to know about what 2009 means for the 2010 elections, from today's Crystal Ball: http://bit.ly/4hnVXt
  10. This isn't dusty history.It's vital that we understand the minds of potential assassins. Tragically, the world is filled with unlit matches.
  11. Castro's interests couldn't be aided by Walker's death. But for Oswald, Walker was a symbol of the state's power & oppression, like POTUS.
  12. One bit of evidence for this theory: Oswald was already an assassin by spring of '63. He tried but failed to kill Gen. Walker, and got away.
  13. Oswald killed the POTUS not to serve Fidel Castro's purposes but to guarantee that he, Oswald, would never be one of Orwell's unpersons
  14. Or Orwell himself. Perhaps Orwell would have classified Oswald as a 'prole', well outside the circle of people that mattered.
  15. We might have been able to find out, save for Jack Ruby. Now, it's psychologists to the front of the line. If only Freud were available.
  16. Could that justification, Oswald's ideological motive for killing, been provided by Orwell?
  17. But I've always thought in his warped yet bright mind, Oswald had developed an intellectual justification for his assassination of POTUS.
  18. happenstance of JFK passing in an open motorcade right past the building where he happened to work, Oswald's great talents called to action.
  19. It could be that Oswald was just a pitiful punk at the end of his rope, hating the world, seeking infamy, with destiny providing the...
  20. Or most disturbingly, did Oswald imagine himself as an American Winston Smith, with a duty to strike down Big Brother in the form of JFK?
