Would you back her presidential bid? Or is she tainted by Bill's philandering? IS Barrac Obama or John Edwards the right man for the V-P job? America will probably swing to the Democrats (it's a cyclical thing) so can you trust any of the candidates at a time of war?

No. Mind you, not because she's a woman. I think it would do the country good to have a president who isn't a white protestant male (not that I have anything against them, in fact, I'm one), but please, anyone but Hillary. (partly because she is tainted by Bill, but definitely not totally because of that.)
I would much rather see Obama in the white house than really any of the other democrats, and frankly, the republicans aren't putting up much of a fight so far.
Thumbs down to John Edwards.

I can honestly say I have not voted for an American President since I was of voting age, yet I have voted many times. I usually vote against the other candidate and try to choose the lesser of two evils, as if there is one.
I believe that my money is my money. I do pay taxes. Even after I give it to the government, it is still my money and they should not throw it away. I don't believe in socializm or comunism. They work fine in a utopic society filled with utopic people. Oure citizens are flawed and therefore abuse the system. I do not care for Hilary's voting record. She, like Bill, is the ultamate politician. She polls before having a public opinion, and you never know what her agenda is. George and I do not agree on several things, but I at least know where he stands. You can disagree with someone, and they still have good character. If they don't have good character, they should not be elected to public office to promote a private agenda.
Barrac is still a liberal, but is more palitable than Hilary. If I were hoping for a black president, I would wish that honor to fall on Colen Powell. If we wanted to hit to minorites at the same time, Condeliza Rice should win. I feel the best President is someone that is closer to the middle of the road. The far right and the far left have their own agenda. If we drove our cars like they steer the country, we would spend most of our time in the ditch on the left side of the road or the right side of the road. The Presidental Office requires someone that can keep the car in their own lane going the right direction down the street. Any time President hasn't ticked off 20% to 40% of both parties, He isn't doing his job.

There was always something depressingly inevitable about that woman's rise to become a candidate for the Presidency. It is as though it had a kind of momentum of its own. It would represent the final step toward the feminisation of America. It would be almost bearable if she was a Republican, but the last thing America needs is a touchy feely Democrat. I think that the country would start to implode from within. A little like New Labour is doing to Britain. Many women, particularly feminists, will vote for her simply because she is a woman, sad, but true, because that is as far as their thinking/prejudices will take them.
America, you don't have to do it. The world has entered a very dangerous period in its history, therefore, the last thing you need, is a 'lets all talk about it' Democrat. Anyway, I don't trust these sugary husband/wife combos.

NOT A CHANCE IN HELL would I ever vote for Hillary. She's a far left wing socialist, who would see America become a welfare state... much like Great Britain is today. How well do your social programs work? Things like medicine and dentistry!! Not too well do they?
Obama is too green, has no real experience, and then there's the fact that he was raised in the religion of Islam, and somehow conveniently joins a Christian church. Sorry, I can't vote for a guy whose name sounds a lot like Osama.
John Edwards is a complete moron. Equivalent to the Republican's Dan Quayle of a few years ago. \
Do I think a democrat will be elected in 08? I'm afraid so, unless the Republicans can field a miracle candidate... and I have no idea who that might be.
Would I ever vote for a woman or a black person for president?Yes! If Condaleeza Rice were to run, or Colin Powell, I'd vote for either. But the Republican's best shot would be for somebody like Rudy Guliani or Newt Gingrich to run. Both have the charisma and the experience.

Hopefully we Americans haven't totally taken leave of our senses. Forget Bill Clinton, Hillary has her very own taints.
Neither Obama nor Edwards is particularly qualified, and they're just follow the routine Democrat "tax and spend" line. Don't see anyone I'd consider among the Democrats who have thrown their hats in the ring so far, and they dumped Joe Lieberman.
Looking at all the answers above, I wonder if anyone from the Democrat(ic?) National Party is smart enough to watch this site?

We will go Democratic if God is allowing judgment on our country and going to punish us good. Hillary is tainted not only by Bill but for both their parts in scandals. 3 of which all the incriminating files disappeared on.She'll never get it. Obama is from a Muslim background and to inexperienced and Edwards is a wimp! But so far I'm not crazy about the Republican choices either.

I can't vote because I am too young but I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. I like Barrac Obama but I don't think he has enough experience. I think Al Gore would be a good president, although not perfect. I do not like Kerry either.

People will vote for Hillary because she's a female and for Obama because he's black...but not because either is qualified for the job. Right now...I don't trust anyone in government...and I work for for a government entity! I've seen first hand the slimy politics that work in that environment and it's sickening. Sad...so sad. It's all about money and who's the most 'popular' kid on the block at the time of elections.

I would never, ever vote for Hillary even if I was paid one million dollars! I can't trust any of the candidates at time of war.
I pray that Sam Brownback, a good conservative, will win against these liberals. I will make sure to vote in 2008 and I will make sure that I tell everyone that I know or don't know, to NOT VOTE for Hillary!

The Clinton's are liars...... I'm NOT voting for this package!
Hillary has high negative ratings. There are a lot of people that dislike her.
-- The Clintons LIE and her husband was impeached for lying and committing purjury
-- Her failed healthcare program under her husband
-- Her shrieking voice that grates on people
-- She doesn't look presidential
-- She is very liberal even more than her husband, but bends politically to pick up votes
-- This would bring her husband back into politics and many people do not like that idea.
-- Her husband also has high negative approval ratings.
-- White Water fraud
We've had almost twenty years of the clinton-bush dynasty. Aren't we ready for a freakin break? If we vote in the shrieking b-i-t-c-h, the dynasty could go to almost THIRTY years. Then Jeb Bush could add another eight years??! We need a change!!!
