I don't think she could possibly win the election coming up in 08 so if the democrats want to win they better find another and one that can talk.

I honestly do not believe Hillary can get the democratic nomination. The left wing of the party is unhappy with her based on her record and statements regarding the war. If she makes a move to appease the left wing she will lose many moderate votes. She in effect is in a no win situation. However, if she does get the nomination she still cannot be elected President. Hillary has been relatively unscathed in her campaigns for Senator, but running for President is a much larger stage. The previous scandals in which she was untouchable as First Lady will become fair game and the scrutiny of her record and statements will become widely known. I think many Democrats believe she can be elected for one of 2 reasons, both of which are incorrect. The first being that she is a woman. The problem with this one is that many people appear to view Hillary more like they view male politicians which negates this advantage. The second is that she is a Clinton. The problem here is that while Bill Clinton was undoubtedly one of the most charismatic politicians I have ever seen, Hillary is not Bill and she is not very likable. My honest opinion is that Hillary will fade fast as a contender once the real campaigning begins.

At this point I would be inclined to say NO..however this could change once her views are better known. Those of her views I am familiar w I tend to disagree with.....
Make no mistake tho....she is running, and that is great! We need more women in elected office.
And regardless of how someone feels about President Clinton, she is her own person.
Let's ALL be more active/involved in the primary election cycle so we have decent choices when November 2008 rolls around!!

I would vote for Paris Hilton before I would vote for Hillary. She is the most disingenuous person I've ever seen. Her socialist agenda worries me. Socialized health care doesn't work. Just ask people in Europe. They have to come here to see doctors when they have a serious illness. All it really does is raise our taxes, and reduce our health care options.

Hillery lives in the shadows of her husbands deeds and they will be remembered as thus. When they were at the White House they treated it as home, this was not a final home for them , It is Our peoples home, which has been treated disrespectfully and tarnished much and in need of cleaning. You and others may not understand what or why I have said this. but we are only the guest in the house made for the people and as guest they lived in an open shameful way to tarnish the rooms as they did and this can be felt. Will the shadow leave the White House of the people that we may rest in peace again. amen

The list of reasons I would never vote for Hillary--unless, unimaginably, the alternative is even worse--is a long one. First, she is a socialist. Second, she is incredibly annoying. Third, her ethics are a joke. Fourth, she would weaken the country militarily. That is plenty for now.

I like Hillary, but I wouldn't vote for her if she runs for President in 2008. We need a moderate who can unite both liberals and conservatives, and I think Hillary's too liberal to appeal to the rest of the nation.

Hell no! Why do we want another Clinton in the White House? Her husband did a piss poor job, do you think she's going to be any better? Where do you think she'll be getting her help/advice from? You know where, that idiot husband of hers!

I'd write in Daffy Duck first. Hillary is the last thing we need in office.
