Now I am not hater and I will vote for whoever I believe in the most. I have watched the debate and Hillary's a great speaker. It seems as if she may win. Even if America does not support her she is strong she may get the electoral votes and that's way more important than the people's votes. I like her. What is your opinion? No immature put down comments bc I said mature answers. Most of us are adults and we should act like one. Please be fair...I will respect if you decide to favor another candidate bc everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thank you for your time!!!!

I know she is leading the poll I check all the time; however, there's a lot of Hillary haters out there and a lot of people will vote for her and a lot of people won't and that's what I meant! It just looks like she might win.

I didn't say America is not behind her bc a lot of them are but a lot of them are not. I meant she can still win without all the popular votes bc she may get the electoral votes.

Picture Bill Clinton. Add focus and discipline. You have Hillary. She'll be a great president. Could be the best ever.

I am not an American, (so, obviously I cannot vote) but allow me to give my outside, and I believe, unbiased view of the Hillary phenomenon.
Hillary is going to change the way American politics is done forever.
1. First woman President. She probably will go for Obama or Richardson as Vice President = First Black/Hispanic in the Executive branch.
Hillary has made just enough mistakes to give her the experience to be able to solve problems. (After all, people learn from their mistakes, don't they?)
2. When Hillary is elected, the US will be in the fortunate position of having a popular ex-President in a key position. Bill, with his experience, is going to play a very important role in shaping policy. This is vital, because he is the most respected US (ex) politician on the planet. (And, I daresay, he has also learnt from his mistakes!) Having Bill back in the White House is going to change world attitudes towards the US in a big way.
If the US doesn't overwhelmingly go for this option, then the current widely held perception of America will be confirmed:
That Americans are a bunch of squabbling fools, who would rather 'name call' than solve problems.

As a Republican, I should not say this. But Sen. Clinton has convinced me that she can serve as an effective President. I can't believe that I may have watched The Fall of Barack Obama and The Rise Of Hillary Clinton as President. The thought of Bill as First Gentleman is just too funny !

I think that Hillary is the best candidate in that she has a presence and would definitely bring more positive foreign relations with her abilities. In a perfect world, Barack and Hillary would run together, but I certainly hope that the two don't get caught in a bash ceremony like the candidates from the last presidential election. They smeared one another too much in the media and ruined things. They gave value to the Republicans when they said, "People of their own party even said this. . ." If the Dems make it through without smearing, then the presidential elections most likely will go our way. I really like Hillary. She can do it!

I think that while Hillary may have the lead in a diverse field, she may not have the pull when she gets into a close race. During the dem debates on TV tonite, she was already ducking the issues and the election is not even close. Here she is in the build up to the primaries and she is already responding with "I will not answer that question" when confronted about any issues related to her husband she quickly tried to use humor or to switch the subject.
She stated she wanted to pull the troops out of Iraq, while still maintaining troops for combat missions. You can't attack and pull out at the same time.
When asked what she would do to fix social security she said she wouldn't commit to anything at this time. When asked if Israel should be allowed to attack Iran to protect themselves, she intead started talking about things that happened already in Syria.
When President Bill Clinton was in office, he was famous for spinning things to his advantage, and never commiting on anything that might offend anyone, while, using the media to try to make himself look good. We now know that oral intercourse is not sex by presidential decree thanks to him. His wife is using his play book.
She will not be good for the country. Though after looking at all the candidates, I can't say that there is a good alternative either. I have carefully examined the websites of every candidate in both parties, and don't see a great choice anywhere. This time we will probably need to elect the one who will do the least harm, and hope for a better choice in 4 years.

How can you say America doesn't support her when she's leading in all the polls? Looks like she'll win the popular vote too, not just the electoral college.

I will be voting for Sen. Clinton. I think she is far and above the best candidate running for President from either party. Every time she appears in a debate she just gains more supporters. If she gets the nomination she'll score big in the bipartisan debates as well. We can poll watch from now until Doomsday, but the real test will be the primaries. I suspect she's going to kick some serious butt.

I don't think Hillary is nearly as bad as my fellow conservatives make her out to be.
However, she has demonstrated very clearly in her Senate career and in her campaigning, that she has little in the way of core beliefs, and is all about doing what is expedient.
Expediency explains her constant switching of positions on Iraq and funding, and also why she waits to see how others vote on important issues before rendering her own vote. On the recent moveon.org ad fiasco, she waited nearly two weeks to say she didn't support it, after dodging the question many times.
The Presidency is about Leadership! Someone who always does what is expedient and waits to see which way the public opinion blows will not make a good leader.

Honestly. I think she has an agenda. She has lied and will lie to push that agenda. She wants to be the first woman president. Her ideas will be good for her and her party but bad for America.
She has been a senator in NY for quite some time and has not experience in executive positions. People say she has presidential qualities. But they have not been tested. Standing up for your party in then senate and standing up for right and wrong are two different things
I just watched the ABC news clip of Al Gore and Mr. Clinton. I literally got sick from the mis representation of the facts regarding global warming, and Clinton's Rejection of the Kyoto treaty.
They only reason they get away with this nonsense is because the people in the media agree that they are pushing for the "greater good". That good is the highest and is more valuable than the truth.
Wait till the presidential debates, when she has to argue with someone who opposes her.She has yet to prove anything.

This woman will say anything to anybody to get a vote. She is a vote whore and anybody that can't see that is blind, no stupidly blind. For all you Liberals that think this country is messed up now hang on if she gets elected. She is a big time Socialist. We just fought a cold war for 30 years against the USSR, (Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics). Wake Up.
