I've seen a post or two suggesting that we should punish our nation by allowing Hillary to become president. As an observer of the Clintons for the last 33 years, I find that philosophy to be absolutely insane. If Hillary is elected, the damage will be permanent and irreparable.
I'm currently supporting Mike Huckabee in the primaries, but will strongly consider Fred Thompson if he enters the race. They have the best chance of stopping Hillary. After the convention, I will support the GOP nominee.
The women I know and work with (many avid Dems) despise Hillary. I'm thrilled by their opinion of her.
I’ll most likely vote for whoever the GOP nominee is, but I won’t even rule out the Dem candidate until I know who both are. Hillary is definitely not acceptable. She’s a career criminal, in addition to espousing political viewpoints almost diametrically opposed to mine. Edwards is also out for the same reasons. Obama frankly might be harmless because he’d have little real power, so if the GOP nominee was somebody that truly horrified me, I suppose I might pinch my nose and pull the Obama lever, but I don’t see any real chance of such a horrifying GOP candidate getting the nomination. We’ll see. There may yet be more serious candidates jumping in from both parties.
“But as someone who lived in NYC through Rudy’s tenure as mayor,....”
Then you know doubt would agree that ANYONE would have shown like a star after the Dinkins Administration. The GOP is looking really bad right now because of the illegal immigration divide. I agree with you Hal9000, Fred is looking good and warrents further watching. Election day is a long ways off still.
