She has a strong lead over all the democratic candidates and given all the scandals the GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani comes with, he could never beat her. He already has firefighters protesting him and the religious right threatening to back a third party candidate.

Linda, have you read this, Rudy's whole flawed platform is based on 9/11....
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17869046/
and first hand responders are already saying that he did an awful job.

Inevitable...no but a very strong possibility...yes.
The country is very tired and not at all amused by the levels of
ineptitude and arrogance displayed continuaosly by the current administration. Bush continues to posture and swagger while he is slowly but steadily destroying this country's ecomomy, defense mechanisms and overall sense of well-being. It's like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. The Republicans now running offer very liitle that steers far away from what Bush is doing now except for the typical campaigne promises and bravado. Same is true for the Dem-ocrats except that they are in fact different than what we have had to live with for the past eight years. They want an end to the war and to rebuild the defenses back here and bolster the economy. Hillary is no bargain but she shows strength even in the sea of male co-runners on both sides and answers questions in such a way that makes you feel she can make some changes. I don't feel that with any of the others.
There is another factor here too. It is the 'Bill factor' and many in this country were not happy to see him go as he did, regardless of the sexual antics that took place. Basically, they'd rather have a 'sexually promiscuous' leader ( like so many before him ) than a president who really makes his decisions based on big money, ego, arrogance and misinformation. Bill is an intelligant man will be an excellent advisor / representative for the Administration and for the country. Hillary will use him to her and our advantage. That could help us more than hurt us.
As Rudy, Mitt and the rest show no signs of really taking charge and Obama remaining on the fence or silent on so many issues, Hillary might very well take it all.
Or maybe, quietly, no one really wants to inherit this war that this president is going to leave us with...

No, Hillary only has support of those that don't know anything about politics. She only gets support from those that liked Bill.
A few months ago I was looking into the candidates and I loved what Ron Paul was saying. He's the only candidate that doesn't dance around questions asked to him. You get the sense that he's a friend of yours, even though you've never met him.
His supporters have quadrupled in the past few months, and he's yet to spend any campaign money for personal promotion. Well, actually just last week he launched a radio campaign in several states that have early primaries. The majority of his supporters found out about him through the internet. It's amazing what he's done so far; imagine what he'll be able to accomplish when he starts advertising!!!
Google Ron Paul or go to www.ronpaul2008.com and see for yourself! You tube has a lot of videos that show how good natured he is. Check him out!

It is not inevitable. Right now Hillary is only 3 points ahead of McCain in the polls and that just happens to be the number of points that are considered statistical error. After the primaries we'll be able to see a more realistic set of numbers for Hillary's presidency, unless of course Obama takes the Democrat's nomination, but I'm not seeing that happen. After each political party is united through a candidate, Hillary's chance of winning should go down.
If Hillary goes up against someone more moderate like Guiliani her chance of winning will decrease because a lot of Democrats don't like her and would rather vote for a moderate. If, fingers crossed, someone like Mike Huckabee won the Republican nomination it would be slightly more difficult to put a Republican in the Oval Office. Overall, though, I would say that Hillary doesn't have a chance.

At this factor, 2012 isn't some thing i'm thinking approximately. My purpose is to vote for the right individual for the activity or against the worst. If Hillary wins in 2012. great. yet by then there is yet yet another candidate i savor extra helpful. you do now not look to understand. to 3 people Obama grew to grow to be decrease than no circumstances an determination. Hillary grew to grow to be my first determination, McCain grew to grow to be my 2d. I truly have performed my study and Obama grew to grow to be marked off my record very final 12 months. i'm now not loopy approximately McCain, yet he's bigger qualified than Obama. Obama has way too many strikes against him.

If you think back to 2004 they said Howard Dean would win and that didn't happen. She is ruthless at campaigning and making Rudy look bad. If Ralph Nader runs the democratic party will be split. When it comes time the whole country will unite to keep her from winning.

It is not impossible that Hillary will win. First, she must win the Democrat nomination. Second she must win the general election in November, 2008. One way for her to lose the general election is to select Baracka Hussein Obama as the V.P. choice, as the overwhelming majority of true Americans do not want a Muslim for their president. American's memory of the 19 Muslim/Islamic terrorists who attacked the U.S. on 9-11 is still fresh on their minds. Also, they don't want a president whose loyalty to country is certainly questionable, after his two most recent blunders, refusing to wear an American flag lapel pin, and refusing to respect the flag of the United States by placing his hand over his heart when the national anthem is played ( USC Title 36, Chapter 10, Section 171). Hussein Obama has confirmed by his stupid and naive acts, that he is unfit for the presidency or the senate. Hussein Obama is a disgrace and has insulted the millions of veterans who have fought and died under the American flag, and these unpatriotic acts are not acceptable to the American citizens. If Hillary is thinking about winning, her best V.P. choice would be Governor Richardson, a true Mexican-American, with a good track record, who would attract the votes of the largest so-called minority group, the so-called Hispanics, much larger than the Black population.

NO, not if people get smart!
If they haft to run on their record and past involvement in questionable activities she loses. She has a lot more history!
I hope the media decides to bring it all out! They will only do so if the GOP's backers controls the media. Whoever controls the media wins!!
It's sad that it works this way, but in this case it could save us from the worst!

If she does, then the republicans better nominate Ron Paul or she may end up president. He's the only one who's more anti-war than she is and almost 80% of the American voters are against the war. That's not a negligable number.

She has a 49% will not vote for rating. I dont see her winning unless some major third party candidate gets in which is how Bill got in both times with less than 50%

No. I actually think that given that so many people absolutely DESPISE Hilary, she would alienate independent voters and republicans who might swing to another candidate. If she wins, I think Rudy has a chance--sadly. It's not inevitable; Obama and Edwards have a chance in Iowa, and I think that either of them would do better than her.
... go Obama!
