Who just really wants to see Hillary president in 08?
DUH
Why just the people she is in cahoots with
the families that think they own you and I and everyone else
the ones that own the media and tell you what is what
the ones that own all the major corporations
the ones that decide if the stock market should go up or down
the ones that decide which nation should be the current enemy
need I keep making it clear and obvious?
I thought it already was pretty clear and obvious...
She is the Reptilian Dragon Lady of the Age
put your glasses on - cant you see the horns and claws?

I think having Bush/Clinton fatigue is a valid argument. However, at this point, I believe that getting behind Hillary as a consensus candidate is the best way to put a democrat in the White House. I also think she's smart, qualified, and her politics, which are basically the same as her husband's, are moderate and rational.

No, I am a Dem as well, I am tired of the whole Bush/Clinton monarchy. Have had a Bush in since 81 with a brief break in 93. It is time for new blood and fresh ideas to come into the fold.

I think that it would be absolutely AWESOME to have a woman for a president and she is the only woman candidate right now, so I'm voting for her. If there was someone else that might be a candidate, I would look at both qualities and choose, but since she is the only one, shes got my vote!

I think it's more about name recognition than anything....they think she has a high chance of winning because many people just answer opinion polls based on who they've heard of...which is why many second-tier candidates have such low poll numbers...they just don't get the same amount of attention.

Obama. Hillary is like that crabby babysitter who continuously stole the distant and made you sit down on your room and play whilst she munched on pizza, watched television and talked on her cell telephone. McCain continuously forgot that he replaced into meant to babysit.. early Alzheimer's, I think of.

I just don't want another Republican. Truth be told, my number one choice is Mike Gravel but I realize he doesn't stand a chance so I'm voting for Hillary (or Obama or Edwards...whoever wins the primary).
