She IS qualified. Actually...I hope she wins.

Answer 1

It pleases me that the most qualified candidate will win (Hillary)

Answer 2

Hillary Clinton is leading because of the influence of Bill Clinton in the Democratic Party.

VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Answer 3

Her supporters are all either:
1. nostalgic for the Clinton presidency
2. want a woman to be president.
I think Hillary will be the same as Bill, who was a good president. But there are so many better candidates on the Dem side. So yes, it does bother me that Hillary Clinton is still leading in the polls, but I'm not too worried because there is still a lot more time before the first primary votes.

Answer 4

She lose believe me.Even the Dems don't want her.There really to many bodies in her backyard.Vince Forster being one of many...Unless she's a widow by 2008...Bill is a moving target for her(think about the car/boat/plane accident with a mistress on board).
Even my Mom who's a lifelong Democrat won't vote for her!
Yes she even realizes how bad she is.
Maybe they can drag out the graveyard names again like the 1960 election.Or the Washington State town that had more names on the Dem's side than town than were on the books!!!

Talk about stealing the election....
Let's hope that CBS dosn't call the states again before the polling stations are closed,like they did in 2000...

Answer 5

She is more qualified than any of the rest. All any of them
seem to know about guns is what bad people do with them.
No one is taking a stand for or against "gay marriage"
Where are any of them standing on abortion? These are
things that matters to those of us that live outside of the big
city's. As a southern democrat, I will not surrender the high
ground to just any holly,r than thou hypocrites that comes
along. As long as none are willing to take a stand on these
matters it don't really matter who gets elected. It'll just be
more of the same.

Answer 6

1) Wikipedia is not a credible source.
2) The most recent poll I saw has Obama even with her.
3) She is only "qualified" in that she is over 35, natural born US citizen & has lived here more than 14 years.

Answer 7

I think it's great, Hillary's got my vote. I'm anxious to see the Democratic debate tomorrow on MSNBC. This will be worth making popcorn and inviting the in-laws over.

Answer 8

No she is not.
There was a time when folks were wondering when Hillary was going to involve her husband in the race. She was trying, I suppose, to be her own independent self and he was (or appeared to be) happy with a position in the background. Bill sat in the back while Hillary made her speeches and he spoke when she was unable to be in two places at once or when the audience called for his special gift of gab. The pundits often asked if Bill would be a help or a hindrance and there was worry within her campaign that his reputation and sullied past might cast an unfavorable light on her own egotistical ambitions. So it was strange to me that she trotted the old man out.

She did this by indicating that when she is President she will appoint Bill as a roving ambassador to make peace throughout the world (and no doubt sell our secrets to our enemies along the way). She indicated that he was good with foreign relations (and apparently domestic ones as evidenced by his sexcapades) and that he would be an asset. Why the big switch? When I read this I wondered why it is that she would be trotting him out now, using his name and the fact that he is well liked in many circles, to her advantage. Why now? I figured that since considered herself the obvious choice for the Democratic nomination that she would save the Bill card to perhaps woo swing voters in the general election. She might just be able to pull off a coup with another ‘two for the price of one” remark and give false hope to those who would like to see Bill as President once again.

Then came the news today that Barack Obama had pulled even with the queen in the latest Rasmussen poll and it became obvious to me why she is playing the Bill card early and in the Democratic Primary. She has been losing ground to Obama for quite some time and even being married to the “first black president” is not taking away the 16% advantage Obama has among blacks. Hillary played the Bill card because she is losing ground and is now dead even with the opponent she once led by 16 points. Her people had to know about this based on their internal polling and that would explain the timing of the bill remark.

This is a Hail Mary play for Hillary. She is using an act of desperation early in the campaign in order to stave off a surge by Obama. She has played this card way too early in that polls change all the time and this could be an up and down ride the entire way. By playing this card early she has shown that she is not as strong and not as confident as people were led to believe. This started when she moved 10 million dollars into her coffers in order to look like the big campaign fund raiser. This all happened when her people saw that Obama would raise nearly as much money as Madame Hill.

Hillary has been forced to play cards early, once with moving funds and once with invoking Bill. This can not bode well for the person who thinks she has experience that her rival lacks and that she is the one to lead this country. It would appear that she is being outplayed by the one without the experience.

Hillary will explode very soon and that will be fun to watch!

Answer 9

it annoys me that Guliani is leading in his.
But then look who hes going against McCain and Romney.

Talk about the best of the worst.

Its not like repubs have a chance to win this presidency, unless they can get away with fixing another election

Bill Richardson for President!!!
Lets keep the drama out of politics and give it to the absolute best candidate, with the best experience

Answer 10

The plan is to have a Hillary vs McCain election. Polls irrelevant.
