Sen. Hillary Clinton's popularity

Well, that's what politics has become, hasn't it...a popularity contest.

I mean, did Hitlery get elected because of her wonderful education reforms in Arkansas...you know, taking Arkansas from 49th in the country to 49th in the country?

She has never been seen by the public in anything but a safe, artificial forum.

Which is why she will not replace Kerry until after the debates are over.

She will have a three week "Listening to America" campaign from NBC studios in New York, with preselected "victims" begging her for help with their problems, moderated in turn by Matt, Katie, Baba Wawa and Oprah.

BS. The Clintons have no intention of seeing John F*ckin' win. They've switched their phaser settings from "stun" to "kill." At the right time, they will make sure the Democratic front-runner sinks of his own weight and you won't find their fingerprints at the scene of the crime. Any one who thinks Hillary will give up her ambition is dreaming.

NO WAY the Senate would ever confirm Hillary for Chief Justice.

Hopefully, her strong negatives and those of her husband will make the difference,............

Since the electorate has short memory, their negatives will be past history come 2008 (out of sight, out of mind)

Well it's true that Shrillary would most likely get more females out voting, but the flip side of that is she'd get a lot more males out to vote against her. She's not real popular with average males from either maor party.

I think he'd have to watch himself for the first couple of months, but would then be safe until 2 years, one day.

BINGO! Her elected career has been a cake-walk so far. I don't think that she's quick enough on her own two feet to do well in the political dogfight that would lead to the presidency.

...and Hillary does NOT win against President Bush.

The problem is this:

She won't be RUNNING against Bush, but, as of this point in time, an unknown in 2008!!


The Pub's got 4 years (or less) to get someone ready.

Condi and Alan would insure the black, smart, Repub and conservative vote.

Do we need any others to join in??

I'm inclined to agree with your assessment of Mrs. Clinton.

However, if John Kerry obviously thinks he can run for President while not giving any specifics on his plan(s), then don't doubt that Hillary could do the same, and probably more successfully.

I'd feel and sleep much better if she suffered a massive stroke or something like that. Let Bubba care for her then like Nancy cared for President Reagan...with the same love and devotion of course < /sarcasm >

We need Mel Gibson to buy the movie rights to "American Evita".

Then he should make a movie based on the book and place a notice on the movie that everything in it is documented.

Anybody with half a brain who sees that movie will never vote for Hillary - even in New York.

The woman is a foaming at the mouht radical leftist, and has a history of anti-Semitic behavior.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is the one person among Democrats who this year could have sailed to a virtually guaranteed win against President Bush in the general election.

Hillary doesn't want to run in a truly competitive election. She wouldn't run against an incumbent (GWB) because she knows that the incumbent has many advantages. If Kerry should win, she won't challenge in 2008 for the same reasons.

Hillary wants a coronation. She wants it handed to her.

...and one other thing...who says that if Kerry (which he won't be) is elected that he would be re-elected? Where are the facts to support that?

As much as I detest the stench of the Clinton's I am very afraid we have not seen the last of either of these two. I cannot understand the spell these charlatans have over the so called Democrats in this country but it is very real.
President for her, Supreme Court, UN Secretary General are all very sickening prospects I am afraid. Just imagine.
Look at the following Hitler had and remember, Gore was very nearly elected.

she enjoys huge crossover support, mostly from women who describe themselves as Independents or moderate Republicans.

And I don't know one man who would vote for that c--t, except the staunchest Democrats.

Hillary is getting older and more sour. Even 2008 will be too late for her. I think she made the ultimate mistake, she pulled a Cuomo. Her time was 2004, she didn't have the confidence or saavy to make the run now.

Their own merits notwithstanding - I believe the following potential 2008 candidates would have a good shot against Her Heinous:

Bill Owens
Rudy Giuliani
Jeb Bush
Condi Rice

Not only that, the Dem Party gets weaker and weaker every year. 4 more years of decline doesn't bode well for their 2008 candidate.
