I am a Republican who happens to have a lot of Democratic friends. That's the way it goes when you come from Dorchester, Massachusetts. And what most of these Democratic friends of mine tell me for private consumption is that their party is really, really, really desperate to win back the White House, and in their minds, for that to happen, Hillary Clinton has to get out of the way.
Their rationale, not mine, is that they don't think enough Americans, especially American women, are actually going to vote for Senator Clinton in a general election. While I'm no fan of polls, a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll would seem to indicate that these Democratic friends of mine are on to something. When asked, only 16 percent of respondents said they would "definitely" vote for Hillary Clinton, while 51 percent said they would definitely not. She even lost in the poll to Condoleezza Rice, a woman who has made it crystal clear that she has no intention of running for president.
Next on the hit parade of things my Democratic friends worry about when it comes to Senator Clinton is that they really would like not to revisit the Whitewater, commodities, Monica, Lincoln Bedroom, Hillarycare days. Some of them worry, rightly in my opinion, that if Mrs. Clinton runs, all of this old, unpleasant, and somewhat unresolved baggage is going to be run on a loop by certain conservative, Christian, and even Democratic groups. The obvious question of these friends being: "Why should our party relive that pain?"

End of story.
Does Hillary actually qualify as a "woman"?
I think we need a female VP first. And Condi might be that person in 2008. Allen/Rice is my current favorite ticket since the War against Islamic Pigs will still be going hot and heavy.
bingo.
Good, then get that bus moving.
Hillary has no real constituency in the Dem Party. She has bobbed and weaved so much that nobody has any real confidence in what her core principles, if any, actually are. It is hard to be enthusiastic about people who have no core principles.
There is a bug in here and the Clintons are in
the swim..they are pulling some ...sympathy strings..
watch these polls evolve in their favor in the early
months of 08....They have hoodwinked the electorate
for years...don't unerestimate their ingenuity..Jake
I haven't seen any evidence that she does.
Hillary only has one shot to run and that's 2008. By 2012, she'll be too ugly to run and not even her airbrush folks can fix that. Age is not being real kind to this woman.
What your Democratic friends may not understand is that what the rank and file of the democratic party may want is irrelevant. The nominee will be selected by the hard core left who control the money and organization in the Dem party. If Hillary wants it, she will get it.
I hope a woman will be elected as soon as one is the best candidate. That, of course, precludes the beast.
"Why should our party relive that pain?"

IN a sense they got that right. BUT running this Hillary creature would ensure another generation of conservative Republicans. I'm easily willing to take the chance of a Hillary candidacy...if the result is Republican supremacy.
Disagree totally. It's not her, it's the people that surround her.
I hope he is right, but I believe she will run.
No way is America electing a woman President or Vice President.
Most people qualified to be President are over 50... and face it, most women just aren't balanced emotionally once they hit menopause which happens around that time.

With the new touch voting machines, it's less and less likely that fraud will be manageable for the dems.
They're screeching for paper trails for the machines, simply as a way to postpone using the machines.
If there's paper they can manufacture votes. For now, that cannot be done. Once the touch machine votes are counted there is no way to alter the numbers or create new numbers from out of the air.
Margaret Thatcher would disagree with you.
