Would Hillary Clinton ever be considered for national office if it weren't for her marriage to Bill Clinton? If she had divorced Bill Clinton after the sex scandel, would Hillary Clinton ever been elected to national office? Is Hillary Clinton actually qualified to be President of the United States?

No she wouldn't be considered if she wasn't married to Bill and she certainly would be a waste for NY as a Senator.............

Hillary is probably the most qualified candidate in the entire presidential running from both sides. She knows how the presidency is run. She's the only one that knows the kind of work it takes and the politics that are involved. She knows exactly how both the senate and the White House operate, so she has many people in the senate that will help pass her bills. Even Newt Gingrich said she's the hardest working senator that the nation has today. She knows how a governorship is run because she also helped Bill with that office as well. Hillary is very very intelligent and she knows the government alot more than any of the other candidates running today from both parties.
Why does her marriage have to come into play on this. She didn't divorce Bill, end of story. We can't speculate on these things because it doesn't matter. Hillary has always been ambitious. I have no doubt that she would have been a senator or governor of some state even though she wouldn't have been married to Bill. And, she always had the ambition to become president even when she was a little girl. What's wrong with that? Little boys have that ambition and no one calls them on it. You have to be ambitious to want that job. Why is it when it is a woman with ambition that it makes her suspect? I'm not voting for her, I'm voting for Kucinich. But GOOOOO HILLARY! Just because she IS an ambitious woman. More power to her. It's not easy running with the big boys. They want to cut you down any chance they get. I am so glad she is who she is because I think she is a positive roll model for young girls. If you're a powerful woman with ambition and drive to become president, They may cut you down and they may question your motives and ambition, but you show them your strength and to hell with them.

Okay, you are asking seriously, so I will answer seriously.
Yes, she likely would be very well known politically even if she hadn't married Clinton. Hillary has been neck deep in politics since she was the valedictorian of Wellesley with honors in political science. She was already involved in Washington politics before she married Bill Clinton. She had been appointed to a commission regarding child welfare by President Carter when she had to decide whether to give up her own burgeoning political career to marry Bill and move to Arkansas. The question of whether she would be a viable candidate if she had divorced Bill is a valid one though. She would likely still have been elected as a Senator and pursued politics, but being a divorced woman in and of itself may have doomed her prospects for President.
She is very qualifed in my view for the Presidency. She's been amassing credentials all on her own ever since she was the First Lady of Arkansas. The list of her accomplishments in the political arena is as long as your arm. Her senatorial career is impressive. I would list the bills she sponsored that have passed, but it's a very long list for this forum.
[EDIT: ret roch cop: I can name more than one, there is a long list, email me if you would like to be educated about this.]
She has served well on the Armed Forces Committee in the Senate and has earned even the grudging respect of those across the aisle as well. As I said, I do have a long list of her accomplishments and legislation available. If you would like to take a look at them, let me know and I will email them to you.

If it weren't for her husband I don't think she'd be a candidate now, much less a frontrunner.
Like it or not though, she is definitely qualified. In spite of that though, I hope she doesn't win. I'd rather see Bill Richardson or Ron Paul.

i in my view do not have confidence he replaced into in that particular fact. even though it ought to be stated that it replaced into belittling to the black voters via saying that they have been vote casting form Obama because of the fact he replaced into black, as a replace of because of the fact he had the final concepts for the replace they believed replaced into ultimate for the country, and that should purely be genuine if that replaced into not the reality . Seeing as how Obama and Clinton's concepts and coverage is largely a similar. i think his fact replaced into only based on the data. in my view i think the two Obama and the Clintons have been taking part in the race card in one form or yet another. slightly immature for human beings that are vying for the presidency of the untied states do not you think of?

If she's not qualified, then who out of this group is? I think she's highly competent. Disagree with her politics all you want, but what makes her less qualified than Romney or Thompson or Giuliani or Obama or Edwards or any of the current candidates. She rubs me the wrong way sometimes, but she's very intelligent, and she's no wuss when it comes to fighting for her side of things.

She is as qualified as any. I'd rather see her in office than Giuliani or Romney. Or McCain for that matter. I'm not into speculation so I am unable to give the rest of your question serious thought.

I don't really like any candidate (including her), and she is as good as any. So, based on the fact that there is no better, yes.

I seriously doubt her qualifications for her current job let alone the Presidency. Can anyone name a single managerial position that she's ever held? For that matter, can anyone name a single piece of legislation she introduced and passed? I doubt she could organize a Bar Mitzva.

Very good questions. No, if she hadn't been first lady, no one would even have heard of her.
I think that's why she stayed married to Bill even though he was a serial cheater. To further her own career in politics.
