I think she will be solidly defeated. If you thought the Christians rose up last election to beat Kerry...this will make that look like a picnic. There is not a Christian out there who won't be called on to vote against her. She is not what we as Christians want running our government.

Almost by definition, she has a solid chance.
Right now she is leading in the polls (both nationally and in some key states) in the democratic race and she is one of the top two fundraisers in the entire race. While things could change between now and January, she is in a position to contend to win the Democratic Nomination. While there are five other declared Democrats who also have legitimate chances at winning the nomination (Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Biden, and Dodd), none of them look any more likely to be the nominee than Clinton.
As far as the general election goes, it depends on who the Republicans nominate -- McCain looks like hie is about to be knocked out of the race, the more that comes out about Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani the less the Republican base likes them, and Mitt Romney has yet to make an emotional connection with the base. The more moderate the candidate that the Republicans nominate (especially Giuliani), the more likely it is that the Republican base will sit this one out. If both parties get their base out in force, the race is too close to call but independents are leaning Democrat rather than Republican at the present time. Whichever of the five candidates the Democrats nominate will have a solid chance at winning the general election.

I certainly hope not! But I do think she will be one of the top contenders for the office of the president! I just do not feel that a woman should be the President of the United States Of America. I am not saying that she may or may not be able to do a good job. It is a very stressful and demanding job and I think that a man is more capable of making more solid choices than a woman for a woman makes a lot of decisions with her heart. But, if she does win, I wish her the best of luck and pray she will not make a laughing matter out of the position. (But then again, Mr Bush has not done that great of a job himself).Whoever is elected must deal with this issue of immigration for it will be the downfall of America if not rectified!

Basically, at this point, anyone would be better than Bush. I'm pretty sure everyone is sick of him. She probably has a really good shot, but because she is a woman who is brave enough to go and run for president, she might win, but people might go and protest and give her a super hard time about it. But if she really is as strong as many think, those losers that do go and protest about it will have just wasted their time.
Its about time a woman won presidency....

I love this question. Personally, I think she has wayyyy to many enemies. I would like to see a woman president, but she pisses too many people off and she's too radical to have a serious chance. While it's true that our most radical presidents have been our best (by far), the American public typically strays from most things radical. Hilary being one of them. So no, I don't think she has a solid chance.

I do not think so. America is ready for a President that does not fit the mold of a traditional politician which Hillary is. Why do you think Obama receives so much attention, he has almost no experience in an elected office. (one of the reasons Obama will not make it either) America is ready to get rid of the "promise the world and deliver nothing" politics the majority of politicians practice.

I do. Reasons? -She's smart. Experienced. A known quantity. A good "First Woman to be..."-choice. Easy on the eyes (hey- stupid stuff like that- matters!). Respected. ...-and she has the BEST loved campaigner this side of the South Pole behind her, - Bill. :)

Yes,
Because the media wants her too.
I am voting for Ron Paul though.
