British Newspaper Project Finds " America Hates Hillary And Co."

The Telegraph, a London newspaer has revealed some interesting findings from a year long study they recently completed called "Crossing America: a political odyssey. "

The daily London newspaper crisscrossed America and interviewed people all over the heartland of America and beyond to get a take on what Americans really think about their choices for America's next President ,and Americans views on politics and politicians in general.

The odyssey began inPortland, Maine and went to San Diego, Calif., with the return leg starting in the suburbs of Seatlle and ending in Florida's beaches.

What was very apparent was that Americans by and large, especially in the heartland despise Hillary Clinton, who the magazind described as " hated" and the findings revealed that she was liked by those " few and far between." However many said they would vote for her because she would be the Dmocratic candidate and was " battle tested " against the Republicans. And some women it was noted, said they would vote for her because she is a woman.

Dollar Falls To Record Lows

The dollar has fallen to record lows against the Euro in trading Friday. The 13 nation European currency is now worth 1.4966 U. S. dollars. Speculation is that this is being brought about due to the credit crisis in U.S. markets, and that another credit rate cut will occur.

While the expected rate cuts are a plus, this certainly does not bode well for the dollar and the U. S. economy in the long run. James Hughes, an analyst at CMC markets says" once again the message is that with further rate cuts expected from the Fed, the dollar is struggling to find any serious supporters. "

The Euro, the British pound and other currencies have been rising against the dollar since August . The underlying concern is the financial disaster looming in the subprime credit crisis. With oil at $98 per barrel , an unstable economy , an enormously expensive war in Iraq, and a retiring baby boomer genaration set to retire, where does that leave us economically?

Hillary " Broadly Supports" Licensing Illegals

Trying to avoid a "John Kerryesque " moment from the last Democratic presidential debate, Hillary Clinton now says she supports states' efforts to issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

Clinton was roundly criticized for her avoidance of a simple question from journalist Tim Russert on whether she supported NY Governor Elliott Spitzer's move to license illegals' in that state. It appeared she may one day say she was against it before she was for it.. or vice versa.

Good to know where Hillary stands...and that she'll probably pay a price in the general election in 2008. Either way she is now on the record. Clinton's argument is that driver's hit by undocumented immigrants and those in the shadows who need to come out would be helped, is touching, if seemingly insincere. Pandering for Hispanic votes and making access to the polls easier for illegal immigrants in 2008 is more likely.
