Hillary seems to be slowly winning ground with the general public.
Are voters finally realising that the right-wing 'What? That (take your pick or combo) communist, dishonest, divisive, bossy, ugly woman!?' smear campaign is just that: a smear campaign.
Even here on Y/As there is an evident 'softening' of rhetoric against her.
(I have noticed that 'thumbs up' now about equal 'thumbs down' when praising or condemning her.)
8 months to a year ago there tended to be overwhelming condemnation of anything she did or said.
Should the world get ready for a woman US President?
Let's test my 50/50 theory

Nope - the liars haven't even begun to swiftboat her yet.
Even Chi (who I normally respect) has fallen for a bunch of the right wing propaganda about her.

Is the U.S. ready for a woman president? It really depends on the woman. It would have to be someone as tough as Maggie Thatcher & Hillary Clinton is no Thatcher. I think that Ann Richards, former governor of Texas, could have been that female president, but I read somewhere that she's currently dealing with cancer. My heart goes out to that strong woman.

I have nothing against a female as President, but this one is NOT good for America. How many times do they have to be screwed by Democrats and lied to by the Clinton team before they catch on. Oh well, you get what you deserve.
Clinton and Rodham are a greatly deceptive team who will ruin America even further if put back in the White House. I am not an Obama fan but he would be a better choice than Rodham.
Clinton is just dead wrong and this demonstrates for the zillionth time that he will say anything to get him or his wife into office. Bill and Hillary lies and does not comprehend how to tell the truth. Bill and his wife were bad for this country before and they will be even worse for it in the future.
My opinion of both the Clinton's have always been the same as they are now, they are corrupt crooks and very dangerous for America , they should never be allowed back in the white house.

I would love to be able to believe in what a candidate is and represents, regardless of gender - I would vote minority in ANY FORM if someone inspired me to. I hope it happens soon - or even now, but NOT HER.
I am appalled at the frontrunners of the current presidential primaries. Once again, we are presented with people who I disagree with on too many levels to vote FOR. I'm sick and tired of casting votes just to keep someone else out.
I'm writing in Stephen Colbert - or his wife, if it's that important. I'd rather make a statement condemning both evil entities that are responsible for the mess we're in than let this futile stalemate continue to nobody's benefit.
Particularly, here's what I have against Hillary:
Too much investment in one of the 2 major evil entities in our country (namely the Dems, the Reps being the other)
Does not support Gay marriage - I'm not gay, but they should pay the same tax penalty I do. I don't care if God hates them or not, that's not my business - between him and them.
Does not support consumption tax only
Does not support RADICAL government and law reform
WILL support mostly status-quo, stalemate with the reps, only get one or two big things done in four years and at best marginally improve "others" lives.
I see her as a neutral, middle of the road, "electable" person - just like that other guy from NY, who will do mostly the same thing - NOT MUCH.

Not really. The lack of ideas and creativity will not deter the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" (tm) the least bit. The attack dogs will just keep parroting the same tired old memes and falsehoods to get enough gullible fools out there to believe them. Of course, such a prolonged and utterly pointless smear campaign will only embolden (there's that word again) Hillary's supporters and garner her more sympathy in the end.

To Right is Right.
STOP SPREADING LIES!
Kimbro, Bridgeport, Connecticut Panther Lonnie McLucas, and national Panther field marshal George W. Sams, Jr. were convicted of the killing.
The case later became part of an urban legend that Hillary Clinton defended Bobby Seale and helped him get acquitted. This was not, in fact, the case as Clinton was a student at the time and not a lawyer

Hillary is an Arkansas carpetbagger ,who during her Senate tenure has proposed nothing, done nothing to enhance the position of America. When Bill was president her health care proposal would have bankrupted the country.Shhe is back at the same stand. And President Bush did not veto children's health care but the provisions which would have covered families who could afford to pay. Hillary will insure you everything from the cradle to the grave.

No, the worst of the "Smear Hillary Campaign" is not over. The worst hasn't even begun. Republicans will do anything to try to stop her. Brace yourself. It's gonna get really vicious over the next year.

The greatest thing that could happen for the republicans is for her to win the democratic nomination. You can bet the farm you'll see a republican in the White House again. Her support comes from her party, not a majority. When you consider that she polarizes everyone else, including the conservatives, the moderates, and the undecided... she doesn't stand a chance of reaching the White House.

No, there's still plenty of unsubstantiated lies and innuendo to roll out time and time again. After the primaries and she's the clear cut candidate for the Democrats, the anti-Hillary crowd will have to put up or shut up about their false accusations. Some people think it's chic or cool to bash her and do so without regard to facts. Like those ridiculous "murders" during the Clinton years. Innuendo and BS.

The conservatives I know want Hillary to win so they can keep the White house. Personally I'm not sure who I am voting for I just know it won't be Hillary,Obama,Rudy or Mitt
