I don't feel that Hillary Clinton can win the presidency. I mean their is no way Mrs. Clinton can win any states in the south. I just can't see that happening. When her husband was president I remember rallies down south being thrown to denounce her specifically some people even burned effigies of Mrs.Clinton. I just hope some other Democratic wins in the primaries and not her. This country is divided enough and she would only bring out bad memories for many who didn't even like her as first lady let alone a possible presidential candidate.

I don't know. I think that the Dem party won't see a president this year. I know that if she wins the candidacy that the Dem vote will be split between Dem and every other party. I know that I will not vote Clinton. I'm in NY and I have yet to see what she has done that she has promised to do.

Not at the present time. In every reliable poll she is shown as being the front runner. I think over the next two years she will win a lot of votes from people who don't think well of her currently. When she ran in New York no one gave her a chance to win there either. The early numbers showed she didn't have a chance. But she developed a grass roots campaign that brought her into contact with the people and she ended up winning in a landslide. She must have been doing something right because she won by an overwhelming margin last November as well. She's going to try and use the same approach for the Presidential election. She'll travel endlessly from city to city in the United States, hitting town halls and holding rallies in out of the way places, and she will reach a lot of people who just don't know much about her, other than she was the First Lady and is now a Senator. I really believe her popularity will rise as she becomes more visible, and that people will start to reconsider their knee jerk reaction that she is cold. She's not the speech maker her husband is, but from what I've seen that is improving steadily. Overall, her biggest strength? She'll be awesome in the debates and many people wait to decide on their vote until they've seen the debates, that's a huge plus for her.
There are also many people out there who have already forgiven Bill Clinton and yearn for the saner days of Clinton's Presidency. It's amazing, but his approval ratings are very high. Even during the impeachment hearings his approval ratings were much higher than our current President's are now. The south didn't win the day for the Republicans in the mid-terms and I don't think they will for the Presidential race either. From what I've heard the Midwest is Clinton's campaign biggest challenge. Sigh...there's a lot of time left, it will be interesting, to say the least.

The only problem with Hillary Clinton is that she is a woman! I would vote for her in a second! She is very intelligent, has had the experience of watching her husband in the White House, she knows the pros & cons of being President. She has some powerful friends in both houses; both Democrat & Republican.
She has the energy of 3 people & loves a good debate. It's time the macho American forgets about the sex or race of the President & focuses on who can get the job done, who can take on the issues that face us & help solve the problems.

In total delegates Hillary will win most likely. Does it mean she shoe in ? No, because Edwards could win midwest, and southern states. Richardson, can pick off few western, and plains states. Then Obama could squewk out a win in one state. Throw in Biden the mix. Hillary or Obama end up being dropped for nominee if the republicans look like could take the west. Hillary probadly win Calif, NY, Mass, NJ, but thier 46 other states too. Its too early to tell, but the democratic convention in western states gives more Edward, Richardson type a little more leverage if Hillary ends up winning because one of those will be vice president.

I believe that she would be a very strong candidate.Recent polls show her ahead of John McCain in a hypothetical race and she has yet to start her campaign fully.I take your point and I am concerned about her negatives.It will be interesting to see as the campaign goes on if she is able to reintroduce herself to Americans that don't like her personally. I am a Clinton supporter, however I really like John Edwards as well.He is probably the Democrat's easiest sell to the South, but does that make him the best candidate?I don't know.

I think if you gave Barack a good size paddle and left him alone in a room with Hillary he could beat her but good. The answer is only Hillary can by opening her mouth.
