Hillary, the Unbeatable?

If you haven't yet done so, you must check out and then place in your favorites list, "The Politico," a new website just launched last month that is already producing hot political news daily.

Today's headline: GOP Views Clinton As Virtually Unbeatable?

The story is a juicy one and also includes video of Tom Delay arguing that if Republicans don't get a charismatic candidate, they will be beaten in the general . . . by Hillary! (And that it may end up being the best thing for the conservative movement? Huh? Do the conservatives want to throw this one away for the future?!)

So we figure it is time for another periodic installment of True or False.

The following is the list of the top 5 most probable Republican and Democratic nominees for President in 2008 in order of electability as of today:

Republicans
1. John McCain
2. Rudy Guiliani
3. Mitt Romney
4. Sam Brownback
5. Newt Gingrich

Click here to check out our early December ratings. You'll note I left McCain, Guiliani and Romney 1-2-3. I moved Brownback up over Gingrich, simply because he's announced and Newt says he'll wait until the fall. Still, don't count out Newt. He's actually running third in some polls in Iowa. I expect a late Newt surge, if he decides to get in, as "an ideas candidate." He hooks me when I catch him on CSPAN, simply because he talks about new, thought-provoking ideas.

Democrats
1. Hillary Clinton
2. Barack Obama
3. John Edwards
4. Al Gore
5. Bill Richardson

Nothing in my mind changes the top 3 here either. Al Gore remains at four, just because he's polling well (like Newt, in Iowa) and he hasn't even announced he is running. I decided to drop Vilsack off because I haven't heard much from him since he announced. I decided to replace Vilsack with Gov. Bill Richardson. He's a Governor, he's from the battleground southwest and he's Hispanic.

So again, True or False.

What's your list, and why?
