as a political science major i've been intrigued by developments in the political arena and have been listening to speculation about the 2008 presidential elections. it is rumored that Hillary Clinton is entertaining the idea of running as the democratic candidate although it's still just speculation. if Hillary Clinton does decide to run for president, would you support her? what do you think of the chances of her actually winning? also, in the event she does run who would you like to see as her running mate?

1. yes
2. fairly high
3. Barack Obama

1. No
2. If she could get past the primaries... maybe
3. Evan Bayh

While I have no problem supporting a woman candidate and right now Hilary is a democratic front runner, I would suspect her as more of a potential VP first. I would suspect that John Kerry will once again be the Dem Pres candidate.

Didn't she already serve two terms as President. Oops, I forgot, Bill was the one that we thought we elected.

I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I thought I heard something the other day saying that either she, John Kerry, or Rudy Guilliani (sp?) are the front runners right now for the democratic party.

I believe Guilliani is a republican, but if the demo's want to nominate him, I'm all for it.

no
none
irrelevant

She might have a chance to win, unless the Republicans get a candidate that is attractive and can distance himself from Bush.

The Democrats have been unwise in picking ultra liberal candidates. Kerry may not be considered, since he lost the last election, and he is a Massachusett's liberal. The Democrats would be wise in picking a more conservative Democrat like a John Edwards. Sam Byrd might be even better than Kerry or Clinton.

1. yes, if she gets the nomination.... unless she's running against McCain, who would make it a tough decision for me, which brings us to ...
2. good chance, unless the Repubs nominate McCain who would beat her (see #1)
3. Ambivilant...I could go with Bayh, Obama or Irrelevant already posted.

Are all of you aware that Hillary was a lawyer for the blakc panthers. I would not support her for dog catcher in a one dog town.

of picking the party that best fits thaeir agendas. The Republicans often pick the most conservative and the democrats the most liberal. Democrats will keep their liberal base no matter who they pick and Republicans their most conservative base. It is time for each of them to pick candidates who will attract the moderate base. I think it would be a prudent move for each party to pick a "Republicrat". The "Republicrat" stands the best chance of winning.

and what exactly does this mean to you ?


Many feel the same way about her, brg1111, but I suspect that Hillary-hatred is a lot deeper than it is wide.

I saw Barack Obama on C-SPAN late last night giving a speech at some banquet and I was very impressed with him (once again!). Every time I've seen a speech of his, I've been impressed with the points he makes. Last night his main point was "had enough" and he used that phrase to criticize a bunch of Bush's shortcomings on public policy.

I would never support her or any other liberal. She's as dumb as a brick too.
