If Hillary Clinton Is a Presidential Nominee in 2008 Would Any "Red" States Turn "Blue"?

Here's yet another lawyer running for the white house who could help but lie about the most trivial things (billing record).

Only those states located in France, Germany and Great Britain

[Prime Choice]

If Hillary runs, our best offense will be to run a Conservative against her...not a Democrat Lite RINO.

Our party is defined by being pro-Life and pro-Second Amendment. Sell out those planks on the party platform and we might as well kiss a Republican Presidency in 2008 goodbye.

[pypo]

Of course. Everybody would turn blue, from lack of oxygen.

[sierrahome]

Ain't it the truth

[Coldwater Creek]

I wish that we could just go one day without hearing about weather the Hildabest is going to run for President. I am exhausted

[TortReformer]

Outside of Bayh and Richardson (Gov of New Mexico), the democrats don't have a chance especially if they nominate Hillary or Edwards...In fact we should encourage them to nominate Hillary!!!!

[clee1]

Not a chance. Hilery would lose bigger than sKerry did.

[WoodstockCat]

My opinion on this was well-framed by George Will:

1. Her only experience she can cite outside being a trial lawyer is a Senator from a northeastern state.

2. She has a congressional record on taxes and the federal marriage amendment.

3. Oh..there's that health-care thingy in '92

4. She would rally their base unlike Kerry was able to.

who really cares right now who the rats are going to run four years from now?... Our president hasn't even started his second term yet, I am looking forward to the next 4 years of republican control.

[Macklew]

I don't know. But if she is elected I would turn blue!

Evan Bayh is Dems best hope.. and if they do nominate him, expect a revolt from the fringe left, and they'll put up another Nader type candidate in protest.

Personally, I don't think Hillary will run, and if she does, she'll lose pretty badly.

[MHT]

Bayh would be a formidable contender.

McCain might make a play for 2008. I love Rudy, but fear that he would not hold our conservative base, who finally showed up on Election Day and walked the walk after years of talking the talk. Jeb has said that he doesn't want to run.

[OpusatFR]

And just what would my bumper sticker say?

Vote for Bill's Wife?

[Roccus]

If HRC gets nominated, the only color we have to worry about is BROWN (as in shirts)

[Josh in PA]

Evan Bayh would cause us the most trouble..

If Kerry would have picked him, and then ran a much better campaign, he would have won this election.

[bootless]

I wonder what Bayh's NRA rating is.

[Ahriman]

She would certainly have a fair shot at Ohio, Iowa, and other states like that where Dems have a longstanding powerbase.

[The Great Yazoo]

I feel that John Edwards presently thinks he could mount a serious challenge for the democrat nomination for President, but I doubt that he would attract enough funding to fuel his challenge to the point that he would ultimately be successful.

They didn't carry North Carolina. They would have carried the trial lawyers, even without him.

Trial lawyers don't invest their own money into anything that isn't very close to a sure thing. Edwards is no sure thing!

Democrats have little use for losers (losers are, however, permitted, from time-to-time, to make anti-Republican screeds such as what we've heard recently from Carter).
