I have never read such an outpouring of love for a Democratic candidate from avowed conservatives. It is good to see Republicans getting on the Hillary bandwagon. Then agin, I could be kidding.

Sen. Craig might not crossover..but he might cross dress.
I might switch to Gore if he decides to run.

The strategy, or the thinking of the conservatives, is that they want a woman (i.e Hillary) to be the Presidential candiate of the Democrats.
This is because they are counting on most voters not wanting a female as a President (regardless of what they say to the pollsters).
Hence, therefore, and consequently, the majority will vote for a male President, which by default will be the other candidate, which would be Republican.
The thinking is, the polls will be neck-and-neck, just like the Carter-Reagan race. (The declared Democrat voters told the polls that they were going for Carter, but in fact they were voting for Reagan.) When the voting started, Reagan just tromped Carter. The Republicans are counting on the same thing happening here. The polls will be 50/50, but the thought is, when people vote, the male candidate will win by a landslide.
Are all voters so shallow like that? Hmmm. What do you think?
One more thought. As soon as Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, there will be huge attack campaigns against Bill Clinton. Just watch. And the ads will say, do you want a Clinton as President "again"?
The two party system is utterly broken. We need to fix this and go to a three party system.

Conservatives want Hillary to win the Democratic nomination because they know it will make a victory for the Republicans in '08 much easier, if not almost a certainty.

With all due respect, ARE YOU NUTS OR JUST ON SOME ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE?
Anybody with a brain (e.g., Conservatives) hates Hillary! She is a socialist, pro-amnesty tax-and-spend twit!!! I wouldn't vote for her if a gun was at my head. That goes for all the Democrats!
BTW, "hopeful for a change" we don't bash her. We tell the truth. We state facts. If you don't like the FACTS that are stated, that's just tough! Are you going to tell us that she isn't pro-amnesty and she doesn't want to raise taxes?

Probably because if she is the democratic ticket, the Republicans will have quite a good chance.

They have already decided amongst themselves that since they know that because of Bushie a Republican can't possibly win this time (the conservatives hate Rudy), it might as well be Hillary. She is the most centrist.

Because she is a flawed candidate with lots of baggage.
If Maria Shriver (married to Arnold Schwarzenegger) ran, we'd be dead meat.
I wish Colin Powell would run; he's just too honorable I guess. Politics is for snakes.

I am not in love or like with Hillary Clinton. I would rather vote for my dog or cat for president than to vote for her.
