Oops, He Did It Again

Weekend (Open) Round-Up / USA

►According to this Gallup poll, 51% of American citizens say there's no way they'd vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president in 2008 (while just 16 percent are firmly in her camp). So, while the New York Sun writes that "Clinton's emergence (...) for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 is fueling anxiety among Democratic strategists and operatives who are worried she would lose to a Republican in the general election", the former first-lady joins John Kerry in the filibustering attempt against Judge Alito. Maybe Hillary is a political genius, or maybe we always overestimated her. Details and comments at: All Things Beautiful, Blogs for Bush, Decision '08, Betsy's Page, Stop The ACLU, Roger L. Simon, Ann Althouse, The Dread Pundit Bluto, Sister Toldjah, Riehl World View and Below The Beltway. Meanwhile Dick Morris, who knows Hillary very well, is convinced that she would lose to Condy. ►Interesting article by Richard Brookhiser on the New York Observer: is Republican Party really "Gambling With History"? More comments at: Protein Wisdom, Austin Bay Blog and Betsy's Page. According to Save the GOP, John Shadegg's candidacy as House Majority Leader is growing day-by-day. We like Shaddegg a lot. Read this op-ed written by him on the Wall Street Journal (title: "The Spirit of 1994"). ►Two days before Canadian elections (won by Conservatives), Michael Moore wrote this. As usual the fatty bastard doesn't seem able to guess anything. Could anyone pay him to shoot an anti-Berlusconi "documentary", please? ►George Galloway, the disgusting Saddam best-friend who is a disgrace for the British Parliament, was booted out of the English Celebrity Big Brother house. Sometimes reality shows works better than elections. ►Noam Chomsky is a terrorist (sorry about that, terrorists!). ►The Washington Post writes that leftist blogosphere is mass-attacking any Democrats who doesn't want to join the radical drift of the Dean-Kerry-Pelosi faction. Wanna bet that, if they try enough hard, they'll manage to lose also mid-term elections in November?

Canada: Is the Nightmare Over?

(click to enlarge)

Despite a light (and predictable) drop in the last days of the campaign, Stephen Harper's Tories are the clear favorites of the upcoming canadian elections. Every pollster sees them, more or less, ahead: +7% for SES/Cpac (36%-29%), +10% for TSC and Ekos (37%-27%) and +12% for Ipsos/Reid (38%-26%). On Monday night, the final results of the elections which could put an end to 18 years of socialist regime in Canada. Go Blogging Tories!

Portugal Does the Right Ting

With a solid Center-Right coalition, and a divided Left, Portugal does the right thing without even the need of a run-off. Free-Market economist Anibal Cavaco Silva, 67, former prime minister, is the first center-right politician to fill post of president since Portugal's 1974 revolution. Before the vote, Zero - who blogs at 25 centímetros de neve and who's a proud portuguese citizen of TocqueVille - wrote that his victory "would be the most serious political defeat for the Socialist government since it came to power last year". Maybe that's why l'Unità (the official newspaper of the italian post-communist party) is already throwing mud at him.
