TALK OF HILLARY EXIT ENGULFS CAMPAIGNS

Mon Jan 07 2008 09:46:28 ET

Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!

"She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider to the DRUDGE REPORT. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."

Meanwhile, Democrat hopeful John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out."

"Her money is going to dry up," Edwards confided, a top source said Monday morning.

Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state.

"She did not work this hard to get out after one state! All this talk is nonsense," said one top adviser.

But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

Welcome to my personal ad. I'm kind of picky and maybe you are too, but if you think there's a chance I'll like you - drop me a line. So I'm posting on here because I'd like to get involved with someone on a long-term basis. Preferably someone who is cool with the idea of open relationships/non-monogamy. I am open to discussing this and more if I actually like you and care what you think.

About me: I am a female born, trans/non-gender identified person who does not fit into either of the binary gender options offered. I'm funny. Ha ha funny, though I'm actually funny-- queer too. My appearance is androgynous and I am cute. I was a D.I.Y. punk in the early 90's and I am a former activist who is jaded and aligned w/ anti-authoritarian, anarchist ideologies. I am charming, clever, modest and I have a good sense of humor. I like to watch movies, cook and eat vegan food with friends. I am a good listener and supportive friend. I make time for people I care about and appreciate people who do the same. I try hard to be direct and clear in communicating and I look for that quality in people I want to communicate with.

Ideally I want consistency in relationships and friendships. Flakiness is no fun. Of course we'll both only invest if we actually hit it off, but if you know you tend to flake, I'd rather not get started.

YOU: age 27-43 nice, affectionate, cuddle-worthy, interesting, good kisser, into kissing, easy-going, good communicator and good listener, queer/trans friendly. I seem to get along best and feel most comfortable with outgoing people though some of my closest friends are quiet and shy; go figure. My general attraction is towards boys and boyish people; trans or non-trans though I'm open to people of any gender or no gender.

Progressives, anarchists, and queers are encouraged to apply.

Pluses: Queer boys, non-boringness, spontaneity, creativity, emotional availability, extroverts, paying lots of attention to me, people who validate my feelings and laugh at my jokes and know when I'm joking. HSPs (bonus points if you know the term without looking it up on line).

Please respond with more than a sentence if you want me to write back. Include information about yourself and what interested you about my ad.

Key words: FTM, transgender, vegan, punk, queer, bi, freak, trans, anarchy, anarchist, anarchism. I have fully dressed pictures to trade for pictures of you fully dressed.

Thank you for visiting.
