You do understand that any candidate needs some support from the other side to win, and Hillary will never get any? Is this what you really want to happen?

Whats surprised me, is that her popularity has gone up.
The more people see her and hear her personally, and not just about her from pundits and the predigesters of news, the more they like her.
Shes simply not what they have painted her to be.
And she is likeable.
Not warm and cuddly, not that you want to have a beer with, but I think we may have caught on to the fact that we need a grown up, and she is one.
Democrats are the majority in this country, its always been Republicans who get in because they will go over to them, ala Reagan Democrats. But Bush has be such a total muck up, at least from the Democratic point of view, that few of them will vote for any Republican. Even some Republicans are thinking twice about the current slate of has-beens and never was, they have been presented with, and now the three times married Newt wants back in....
Look, be grateful, the next presidency will be devoted to clearing up the Bush messes and debts, its not going to be pretty and the next prez will bear the blame. Maybe the Republicans are deliberately sitting this one out.
Openthoughts you are intolerably rude.

Why interior the worldwide could Hillary try this? If Hillary helps the Democratic party and if she looses the nomination, she could be working alongside Barack Obama or a minimum of endorsing him despite the fact that in the event that they do no longer agree on each and every concern. If Hillary endorses McCain she could actually be backstabbing the Democratic party.

This is one major reason that I'm supporting Obama for President. Hillary is way too polarizing a figure to become President.

Americans deserve Hillary, she is the smart choice. What a wonderful person she is. And her ideas about giving newborns lots of money, and giving everyone free health insurance, this will surely make america the most prosperous country in the world.

The amount of confidence many Republicans are banking on that people will have this endless overflowing hatred of Hilary is almost absurd.
It smacks of desperation. Republicans are stuck in this old and tired pattern. She will do just fine if she doesn't leave herself suck in that same old and tired pattern herself.
Republicans seem far more interested in the democrat primary than their own. That in itself tells you a ittle something.
Whoever the democrats pick for their nominee is Quite likely to be the next president.
At this point, the more you hate her the more people are going to want to vote for her in the general election if and when she is nominated. (Personnally I still favor Obama though).
She is smart. And you folks have no idea what kind of defensive support you are creating, paving
the way for a surge of sympathy, and people will want to rally 'round, defend her and vote for her. She will be able to have fun with her campaign once (if) she is already nominated.
Republicans cannot do that. They Have to spew more vitriol, they Have to begin tearing the whole democrat party to death all over again. Only Bush gets condemned by his own voters in two years or less. We are only reaching one year since nov 06. At the very center of America's basic disappointment with the dems right now is The Disappointment That They Haven't Made A satisfying Reasonable Stop of BUSH.
The ironies are wound up tighter than an old fasioned wristwatch.
Hillary doesnt feel she needs to Reach out to Republicans. She only feels she needs to reach out to reasonable republicans. Hillary certainly gets on our nerves at times, but she is no fool.

I think that most Democrats realize that the vast majority of Republicans will never vote for Hillary Clinton for president. But liberals are all about identity politics. They think she can get a lot of female voters to vote for her, just because she's a woman. And they think if she has Obama as her v.p. that will energize all of the minority voters to vote for her. I think that's the Democrat's plan for the 08 presidental election. Of course I don't think it will work, at least if there's a God it won't work.

The American people must be the most stupid people in the world. They say they want the borders secured, the troops home, the concerns of the American people addressed and illegals stopped from draining the work place, yet they vote for the same old people with the same platforms on either side. How did Clinton, Giuliani, Obama,McCain, Edwards,and Thompson take the lead when they aren't going to work for legal Americans?

If the Dems noninated Joe Lieberman in 2004 they would have won in a landside. I am a REB and would have voted for Joe. I hope they make the same mistake again and nominate Hillary that way we get the house and senet too.

What I'm afraid is that the dems will think that if she gets support from the other side in the primaries and doesn't win in 2008 they'll be screaming foul play

The repubs had held the white house or congress or both for 26 of the last 30 years. America is screwed up because of repubs. America realizes that the repubs are a bunch of screw ups. Time for a change!
