If you think the Republican turnout was big in November (Bush at 61 million +), I'd say a Republican might take 75 million votes against Hillary in 2008.
Also the amount of money raised by Republicans would be astronomical -- everytime Hillary donates to a Dem candidate the Republican gets far more in donations.
don't underestimate the shift in the women's vote when she runs (and she is). many independent women will vote for her, and many young women who normally would not vote, will turnout and vote for her. and Richardson to her ticket, and they will do better amongst Hispanics then Bush did in 2004. she will move to the right on many issues (lies of course) and the media will back her up all the way.
that 61 million vote number doesn't mean much, a 60K vote swing in Ohio - and Kerry is president-elect right now.
For all of Dick Morris's denials, he is obviously enraptured by the Clintons. Mrs Clinton, or does she use Ms. I suppose, would be the same "lightening rod" as Howie Dean if not more so, she would need even tighter "reigns" on the media to suppress the skeletons in her closet.
She exemplifies all the wickedness that a HARD leftist relishes in. Her acting skills seem too modest to even attempt hiding her contempt of the core constituents of our country...her written books comments come to mind "I could hardly breathe"...please! That performance couldn't even land a Soap opera appearance.
Forget about her, the same forces which overcame Kerry would be galvanized against Hillary...even more so. This is the media's attempt to take focus off the issues which exist NOW...and to shorten the thankfulness we owe to God and the wonderful people of this great nation who re-elected the man for our times, George Walker Bush.
Lets address Hillary in '08 and focus on issues that really matter.
