Someone wrote on another post that Clinton could win by carrying 13 states plus the District of Columbia, and those states listed did not even include AR, WV, OR, WA, and HI.

[buffyt]

YIKES! by my tagline you can tell that this is dreadful news. But that poll last week that said she would get 43% of the Demowit vote and the other Demowits would get fractions of that amount, and she isn't even running, supposedly.. Scary news on Monday morning!

Win what?

[OldFriend]

The poll of 403 registered demoncrats from across the country has gotten her heinous the required buzz.

[amexmike]

It will be a Hillary Clinton/Wesley Clark ticket. I have said since Labor day the Clark was put in there to stir things up and only to keep people from getting bored with the Dem pack. Only to take a back seat once Hillary enters the race. One thing J. Farah didn't mention is that with such a lock on the nomination and a late entry she doesn't need to spend as much money feding off the others in her party. Funds can be raised and spent directly on the race against the president.

[familyofman]

Just another in a long line of "predictions" meant to keep the base energized. The surest way to get everyone here all worked up is to mention HRC is going to run for POTUS. When will it ever end?

[zeugma]

I don't believe she is running. Hiilary is no risk taker. Going against Prez. Bush would be a serious risk, especially if the TV talking heads can't get the economy talked back down again. What she's doing, is setting herself up for being the 'leading democrat spokescreep' following the election.

I think the democrat convention this time around is going to be really funny to watch because Hill&Bill are going to do everything in their power to undermine whoever is nominated to make sure they don't win. They couldn't live for 8 more years outside looking in, especially on a democrat administration they couldn't be as vitriolic in criticising.

Mr. Farah may be right, but I seriously doubt it. Then again, I've been wrong before!

[scarab9]

Does anyone know what the deadline to register as a candidate for the DemocRats? I think I read or heard 180 days before the election??

[Admin Moderator]

Don't change the title. Thank you.

[Toespi]

It couldn't be a better set-up for Hillary, this is her time, but if she doesn't take the bait we will know there is a lot more in her closet than a broom.

[TomHarkinIsNotFromIowa]

Man, I know some people who aren't going to be happy!

 

[null and void]

Although freedomson says "She will run as a third party candidate."

I'm more worried about VICE President Rodham-Clinton. Think of it:

• She keeps he promise not to run for president in '04
• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed...

Just as an aside, with the Clinton's love of all things Military - Wesley Clark is VERY expendible, isn't he?

[cars for sale]

you bet Hillary is running in 04
here is why..........08 she is way FATTER
in 04 she might win(not really)
and who cares if she loses,she will own the DNC for the following 4 years. Hillary jumping in "late"
IS BY DESIGN TO AVOID THOSE Q AND A'S NEVER BEFORE
ANSWERED........that is why and when and she
loses NOTHING going for it

[CheezyD]

Good. Let her run. It's time to put that silly beeotch in her place once and for all. I have to believe this country isn't ready to put someone that hateful in as President. Let's hear her plan for abandoning Iraq. Let's hear her cry for tax increases. Let's hear here spew that Bush hatred. She'd be lucky to get 30% of the vote. I personally don't think she will run but will wait until 2008.

[1Old Pro]

Hillary needs two things in place in order to give entering the race serious thought.

1) A weak Democrat primary field. So weak that people will practically beg her to get in the race.

2) Continuing bad media from Iraq over the next 2-4 months.

She clearly already has #1 and unless we make some very visible progress in Iraq she will have #2 as this will be a long hard fight (which we all knew) and the media and the American people are impatient.

The economy may be improving but it's a slow improvement IMHO. We need the economy to start creating jobs by the end of the first quarter.

[boris]

I've been predicting she'd run in '04 for a couple of years. Obvious.

I bet she voted for Bush, because a Gore win in 2000 would have meant waiting till 2008...or a small accident like the wings of AF1 falling off or something.

She cares nothing about the Senate or New York. The Senate is designed to inoculate he against the charge that she 'never held high elective office'.

Woe betide the feller who has this woman as his Veep. He'd better keep a food taster and wear body armor, if you get my drift.

[Cicero]

My bet is for 2004. She can't afford to wait. Running against Bush looks hard, but so was running against Giuliani.

She will have tons of soft money: labor unions, big contributors, and clinton's drug money in Switzerland. She will have the FBI files. And she will have the media eagerly pimping for her every step of the way. She won't have to worry about gaffes, because the media will bury them. Every talking head in the country will be singing how wonderful she is.

The hopeful First Gentleman will be running around the world stirring up trouble. Terrorists will act on cue, foreign leaders will denounce Bush, and new hotspots will arise.

I think and hope Bush will win, but it won't be easy.

[70times7]

She will not run - yet.

My prediction: Over the next year the economy will rebound enough to ensure W is reelected. But the Dims and the liberal media will constantly snipe at the administration over the next 5 years. The momentum will never exist to fight terrorism in the Middle East the way it needs to be done. The surrounding countries will continue to support terrorists unimpeded, and those terrorists will increase their operations against Israel, Iraq and any government that the US succeeds in placing there. The positive advances in Iraq will be steadfastly ignored by the media and the sheeple will become ever more dissatisfied with the media defined "quagmire" there. Hitlery will then run and the republicans will loose the white house in 2008. God help us.

[Luis Gonzalez]

With Hillary in the race, it will be as black and white as black and white will ever be.

Hillary or Bush.

There will be no third choices.

[Aquinasfan]

She's not running this time around because the economy is turning up. She's evil, but not stupid.
