ALBANY, New York (AP) -- The majority of New York voters said Hillary Rodham Clinton deserves to be re-elected to the Senate next year, but want her to pledge to serve a full, six-year term if she runs, a statewide poll reported Thursday.
The Democratic former first lady made such a pledge in 2000 when she ran for the Senate. Clinton, leading in the polls for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, has yet to offer such a pledge this time around.
Sixty-five percent of Democrats polled by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said she should pledge to serve a full term if she runs for re-election, but 61 percent also said they would like her to run for the White House in 2008. Overall, 41 percent of New York voters said she should run for president, including 17 percent of Republicans.
There was no immediate comment from Clinton.

Yech!
"want her to pledge to serve a full, six-year term if she runs"
Oh, she'll make the pledge, just like her hubby did in Arkansas. And then she'll tell us that the people have begged her to say she's released from it and that by voting for her after she made the pledge, they were actually signaling that they give her a mandate to rescind the pledge.
NOOOOO !!!!
She's gonna run in 2008. I know it.
"Hillary Rodham Clinton deserves to be re-elected to the Senate next year, but want her to pledge to serve a full, six-year term if she runs,"
Strangely I find myself unable to disagree.
"Sixty-five percent of Democrats polled by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said she should pledge to serve a full term if she runs for re-election, but 61 percent also said they would like her to run for the White House in 2008"
Only Democrats and their Alice in Wonderland way of "thinking" could come up with these two totally contradictory and mutually exclusive positions and think it makes sense. Only the Democratic brain can begin to fathom the supreme illogic of saying someone should pledge in 2006 to serve 6 years in the Senate but run for president in 2008. Or are they just so dumb they think she can serve in both institutions.
On the other hand, maybe this is just indicative of the Democratic amorality we've become all too aware of, this time in saying Hillary should promise to do one thing, but then break it 2 years later and run for president.
In any event, it should be fun watching the Hag squirm and twist during the Senate campaign to come up with some Clintonian double speak to promise to serve a full term without promising to serve a full term. This will take more contortions than a Harry Houdini routine and should be most entertaining to watch.
Why wouldn't she run for prez? She'd probably win.
If she does, all of us conservatives need to move to Texas and secede from the US.
Huh? You need less coffee. Chill out buddy.
If she does, all of us semi-reired geezers (55 and older) will be eating dog food by the time we're 5-7 years out. IMOHO
or do they presume she is going to lose anyway, LOL
maybe they presume she'll lose the election?
oops sorry for double post
No way - I think she would be an ideal running mate for Barbara Boxer's 2008 presidential campaign!
Against Condi she would never stand a chance. The only problem is, will Condi run?
Keep the H3ll away from her, and well armed then, folks.
America is waayyy far away from (truly) electing a woman for president.
That's not to mean it couldn't be stolen ala New York Senate seat or any of the many methods the Satanists have to destroy America.
Sorry, ILL ... I think you are .. ill.
So in other words, most Democrats want her to lie.
