No, in 1963 in Vietnam, despite assurances from field commanders, there was no more semblance of "victory" than there was in 2004 in Iraq when the president gave his "mission accomplished" speech on the deck of an aircraft carrier Rather surprising error there since it was May 2, 2003 (31 months ago) that Bush was wrapping up the cakewalk from the deck of the Abraham Lincoln. cnn.com Some cakewalk.

Very Likely 28% Somewhat Likely 26% Not Very Likely 27% Not at All Likely 10% RasmussenReports.com November 30, 2005--If Hillary Clinton runs for President in 2008, just 25% of Americans say they would definitely vote for her. That's down five points over the past two weeks. It's also the lowest level of support measured for the former First Lady in 2005. (Review Trends). Forty percent (40%) would definitely vote against Senator Clinton. That's little changed from two weeks ago. Rasmussen Reports has conducted a Hillary Meter poll every other week since April. Only once has the number who say they would definitely vote against Clinton been higher than it is now. Demographic Cross Tabs are available for Premium Members. Forty-five percent (45%) now see Clinton as politically liberal. Over the past seven months, the number viewing her as politically liberal has ranged from a low of 42% to a high of 48%, often settling around the current level of 45%. Thirty-five percent (35%) view New York's Junior Senator as politically moderate while 6% say she's conservative. Collectively, today’s Hillary Meter places Senator Clinton a net 56 points to the left of the nation's political center. Two weeks ago, she was 53 points to the left of center. The political center is calculated by subtracting the number of liberals from the number of conservatives among the general public (35% conservative, 18% liberal for a net +17). For the Senator, 6% conservative minus 45% liberal equals a net minus 39. The minus 39 reading for Senator Clinton is 56 points away from the plus 17 reading for the general public. Nationally, 38% of Americans have a favorable opinion of New York's junior Senator while 43% hold an unfavorable view. Demographic Cross Tabs are available for Premium Members. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Americans say New York's junior Senator is "very likely" to win the Democratic nomination in 2008. Another 26% say she is "somewhat likely" to be the party's nominee. Senator Clinton leads the pack among Democratic Primary voters, attracting more votes than the next three candidates combined. The Hillary Meter is a twice monthly measure of Senator Hillary Clinton's effort to move to the political center. The next update is scheduled for Wednesday, December 14. For as long as the former First Lady is a viable candidate for the White House, Rasmussen Reports will monitor public perceptions of her political ideology.
