[Cincinatus' Wife]

Senator Clinton has repeatedly vowed to finish out her first term, which ends in 2006. But she would be foolish to pass up the 2004 opportunity, especially if President Bush's economic plans start to crash and burn and his war whoops lead to body bags. Clinton would leap to the front of the pack on name recognition alone. She's a terrific fundraiser and New York voters would forgive her if she made a credible but unsuccessful run. She would return to the Senate as a more powerful member and be a battle-tested contender for 2008.

LIBERALS pray for the economy to crash and burn and for body bags to come home. LIBERALS, what are they good for? They live to rule over us and hope for the worst to keep power. Daschel and the Left will continue to do his best to block the Bush administation and their plans for national defense and economic recovery.

Hillary 'will be battle tested' ... yeah, right. I've got a battle test for her. Throw a jump suit on her and strap a parachute on her huge backside, and throw her out of an Air Force jet at about 5,000 feet into a bunch of Iraqi Republican Guards.

You are correct, CW. The only way the dems gain a foothold is for the Dark Ages to descend on America. And the very fact that they wish for this just to regain power is indicative of the lefts complete disconnect and disregard for the people of the US.

Beyond governors and senators, women in the House of Representatives such as Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, or Maxine Waters of California have the stature, smarts, and authority to take a shot at the presidency.

Now don't get me wrong, Hillary is just plain godawful, but the fact that this columnist believes Maxine Waters would be even the teensy-bit credible as a presidential candidate makes me wonder if this person has completely fallen off their rocker.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Senator Clintoon is the best woman for incarceration. Ann Coulter is the best woman for prez. I would say Shlaffly, but she doesn't have Coulter's youthful energy.

CONDI!!!!!

[RLK]

Want a woman in the White House? I'll caste my votes for Michelle Malken or Anne Hendershott.

[mhking]

LIBERALS, what are they good for?

"Absolutely...nothing!"

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Gulp!!

[buffyt]

I could see Hillary, Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi running for president on the "D" side. I could see Eliz. Dole and Cond. Rice running on the "R" side.

Maxine Watters?????

It says Robin Gerber is a senior scholar at the University of Maryland's Academy of Leadership and author of 'Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way.'

I think Robin Gerber is a delusional person. What a joke.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Funny thing, THIS STUPID, HATE-FILLED LIBERAL WOMAN didn't even mention the highest-ranking women qualified:

Liz. Dole (R - in name only granted) who already ran a campaign.

Rice - already running things in the White House.

Texas former senator is qualified, more than LA's loser.

New Jersey's not mentioned, (again only as Repub-in-name only.)

Prejudixed, simply incredibly prejudiced. And so blind in their hatred that Republican can't even be "considered" in a long dicussion about democrats for the president - NONE OF WHOM IS EVEN REMOTELY QUALIFIED.

[Robert A Cook PE]

These apparently qualify Gerber as an "expert" - Not one real job in the batch. No work except government grants to get money and laws and studies to study other government grants to expose what she already has decided she will find: hate-filled liberal lies and exaggerations.
