Hillary might want to run for New York's Governor in 2006 to gain some state executive experience and then run for President in 2008. If Pataki retires, I think the state mansion in Albany is hers. And Eliot Spitzer can be persuaded to switch and run for her seat in the Senate, which he will win.
Full of himself and trying to maintain his importance. He goes with the wind and tries to guess for the most part. Typical poll following liberal.
actually Hitlery is already trying to be manipulative and make herself look more conservative then she really is. She's already started playing the game.
I think it will be very hard for her to win in 2008. We just saw how this country turned out for Bush mostly for moral beliefs. If she doesnt turn against abortion and homosexual unions, then I think she has no chance.
let's not beat around the Bush here, George W. Bush, despite the 3 million vote advantage was beatable this year, if just under 60k Ohioan votes had gone sKerry's way he would've been president. That is a scary thought if there ever was one. There is no doubt that many women admire Hillary, for some reason or another. Not because they like her politics but because she is... Hillary.
But don't underestimate the opposition to her either, she starts out with a negative 40% that will never in a gazillion years vote for her. So she will need a lopsided advantage amongst undecideds. Hillary will run and the DNC might just as well dispense with primaries the Hildabeast will simply not allow opposition. Run against her at your own peril. But with dr. Rice up against her, that's where I say: landslide! And it ain't going Hitlary's way.
Get ready for the Pissed Off Bimbos For Truth and their remarkable TV ads.
| GEORGE W. BUSH IS MOST ADMIRED MAN IN 2004 (AHHHHHHHH! HILLARY IS MOST ADMIRED WOMAN!) |

She has spent the last 4 years remaking her image, and she will continue to do so. Pubbies need to be grooming a superstar now to face her. Otherwise, she will be electable in '08. If you thought the msm covered over Kerry's errs and ills, just wait until you see them remake Hillary into St. Hillary of Ark. |

Only if the republicans nominate some worthless rino like Romney or Powell or McLunatic, or a host of others.
A real conservative will annihilate her heinous.
what an clymer
If Republicans ran McCain I would just stay home.
Dick Morris, though i like the man.. Has his face seriously planted up Hillary's Butt... This guy, whatever chance he gets talks about her.
I think he has some secret fetish or something.
I think Dick hasn't tabulated all those that would "drop off" too.
We must remember that Bill never got a majority of the vote and only one due to third party politics, else he never would have been president. Hillary's success is directly hinged to that of Bill. So many people are sick and tired of even hearing about Bill and many former supporters have such enormous hangovers that I don't think they could bring themselves to go vote.
I think that the turnout for the dims with Hillary in there would drop substantially.
It would be a disasterous mistake for the reps not to take Hillary seriously and run an ideologue.
Hillary should not be underestimated. The Republicans biggest problem with respect to the Clintons has always been that we have underestimated their strengths because we have been blinded by our own dislike of them.
There can be no doubt that this dislike is well founded. However, the best way to defeat a foe is to understand him (or, in this case...her).
We must understand and appreciate that she has an ability to reach out beyond the liberal base. She is a Methodist...and will do a better job than Kerry in talking about faith.
Further, she has positioned herself as a hawk on military and national defense issues.
There are a whole host of issues relating to the Clinton years that will be revisited. However, I am not certain that these issues will have much impact.
Realistically, her greatest weaknesses are those weaknesses afflicting the Democrats as a party -- values, Hollywood, Red v. Blue, etc.
However, I fully predict that she will have her own Sister Solijah moment (taking from her husband's playbook) in which she denounces the excesses of the Hollywood left. While some in Hollywood might scoff at this...chances are that they will play along with the game.
I agree with Morris' conclusion, not his logic. He says:
"Rice is the only person who can stop Hillary Clinton from being president."
That has got to be the most absurd comment of the year. Rice is not going to be a factor in the race at all.
On the other hand, I think Hillary can win, and unlike Morris, I have a plausible reason why. It's because she has to do only one thing differently from Gore and Kerry: She's gotta win Florida.
And that is doable, if she demogogues social security and medicare. She's also got to win Kerry's Blue States, but that is also very doable. She's a shoo-in in all the states that Kerry won except Oregon, Minn., Wis., and perhaps Michigan, but even those states are not tough states for her. The GOP has no one on the horizon who could easily defeat her in any of those Blue States, with the possible exception of Guiliani, and as Morris says, Guiliani won't get the GOP nomination.
He thought that way ahead of time and subsequently said that she *wouldn't* run. And listed reasons why.
Despite the fact that I think that Dick Morris is an amoral toad, his skills as a political analyst are exceptional.
His post, in this case, misses the fact that Hillary's high negatives are fixed in stone and that she would energize the opposition ten times as much as Kerry/Edwards did.
He agrees with me in placing a Condi Rice run for the Presidency in 2008 in the "Hillary Clinton's Recurring Nightmare" box.
I'd love to see that happen.
She's black, genuinely brilliant [as opposed to HC's sycophantic-media-designated-faux-super-intellectual status] and doesn't take crap from ANYONE.
