Gosh I hope not. I'm a liberal.. and I would enjoy a liberal candidate to win.. but if Hillary gets the democrat position... I fear the presidency will go to Republicans, and they'll have my vote. I'm not stupid... I vote for the better candidate... Hillary, I'm sorry... I would love to have a female president but I won't vote for her just because she's a woman.

Lets hope the parties can actually muster up intelligent people this time around.

I'm a registered Democrat and I'm telling ya, it's not going to happen. I like Edwards. Hell I'd have no problem even voting for McCain over Hillary. And i was and still am a fan of the job her husband did. But Hillary? I don't care how much she re-invents herself, there's noway she's pulling off the White house.

Hilliary has just about fizzled out. She will be lucky to get re-elected to the Senate. Just today there was an article in the Manchester New Hampsire paper about how upset the democrates are with Hillary. Called her all kinds of bad names. B_itch, demonic, power hungry, domineering, overbearing. I mean they had a whole list. And these were supposed to be her people.

Make a list of where you stand on this issues, and where you think Hillary stands on the issues. Then look at how she actually voted. You THINK she's on your side, but you will be disappointed. She will waffle all over the place to get to the middle. She won't make anyone happy. Every other serious contender is sticking their neck out on the issues.

No. First off she is a crook. Personally, I don't get past that. Also, there are many out there who hate her and there would be a huge effort to defeat her. If the Dems want to win, they have to find someone credible who is moderate. For me, as long as Pelosi is a head for the Dems, I will not vote for a Dem. The liberal wing is destroying the party.

are you on drugs "just a mom"?

Bill and Hillary ruined the country?????

During their 8 years....

*Economy saw record growth
*Unemployment was the lowest it's ever been
*Gas cost under $1/gallon
*Terrorist attack on LAX was foiled
*National deficit was in the SURPLUS for almost his entire 2nd term
*The world actually liked us


Hillary is hated, yet she's been elected and re-elected as a Senator. Dumbass neo-cons.

Absolutely, she can win by a plurality. Future female candidates may include Ann Coulter, Elizabeth Dole, and Condi Rice.

Feasibly, yes. If she won the Democratic nomination, and the Republicans nominated someone besides Arlen Specter or John McCain I think she would have a fair chance.

No. I sure hope not. I think it would be okay for a woman to hold that office, but not her. Her and Bill darn near ruined our country once. I think most Americans have her figured out and won't vote for her.

No, I don't think so. She's a woman, and the country isn't ready to have a woman president. See Commander-In-Chief.
