New Yorkers to Hillary: Never run for president

Hillary Clinton's forthcoming memoir ''Living History'' is seen by some as a move to set the stage for a presidential run, but a new poll reveals most New Yorkers don't want the Democrat senator to make a bid for the White House – ever.

The survey by Marist College Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., finds 58 percent of registered New York state voters don't want Hillary to run for the nation's highest office – not in 2004 nor anytime in the future.

New York to Hillary: Drop dead?

Hillary's spokeswoman Karen Dunn told Reuters she wouldn't comment on the poll, only reiterating the senator intends to finish out her six-year term, ruling out a 2004 White House push. The poll suggests nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers take Hillary at her word on that pledge.

As WorldNetDaily reported in December, a previous Marist poll found that over two-thirds of New Hampshire voters inclined toward Democratic presidential candidates in 2004 rejected Hillary as a choice. Sixty-eight percent said she should not run in 2004, while 28 percent said she should.

Nine other Democrats are already competing for the party's nomination to challenge President Bush next year, and expectations are high Hillary will consider a 2008 bid if she doesn't run for the nation's highest office in 2004.

But support for a Hillary run in 2008 was only 35 percent among the 512 registered voters contacted on May 12 for the poll, which has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.5 percent.

Some 56 percent of the Democrats questioned supported a Clinton White House run, while Republicans and Independents were deeply opposed to the concept of her seeking the Oval Office.

The poll also indicates Hillary would be clobbered by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani if she decides to run for re-election to the Senate in 2006. Giuliani had 56 percent support compared to Clinton's 39 percent.

In 1999, readers of the New York Post voted Mrs. Clinton the sixth "most evil person person of the millennium," surprising some observers, since her name did not even appear on the original survey, and she was selected as a write-in candidate.

Hillary may be banking on her $8 million book deal to boost her profile, and leaks about her husband's belated admission of infidelity and subsequent nights spent sleeping in separate bedrooms made headlines around the world this week.

Publisher Simon & Schuster plans to print one million copies of the book for the first printing. Based on advance orders, ''Living History'' now ranks No. 2 on Amazon.com's best-seller list, second only to the upcoming ''Harry Potter'' book, according to Reuters.

New Yorkers do not want Hillary.......

PERIOD!

[brewcrew]

So, they want to keep her as their senator?

[Zavien Doombringer]

Doesn't look like it, Giuliani has the lead in the polls!

while Republicans and Independents were deeply opposed to the concept of her seeking the Oval Office.

Herein is the reason she will never become President. Not only don't Republicans want her, but neither do the all-important independent voters. And we're talking independents in NEW YORK, still one of the more liberal states in the country. Multiply her negatives about 10-fold in places like the South, the border states, and the west.

Too bad the ones who don't like her don't vote.

Hitlery will be doing a book promo in White Plains next Friday, 6/13 at 7PM. We are trying to get a Freep rally going. If interested here is the NY page: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profiles?location=80

Weren't there polls galore stating that she didn't have a chance when she ran for senator? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[Zavien Doombringer]

Never letting my guard down!

[daviddennis]

But will he run?

I thought his tiresome health problems precluded him continuing wiith his political career. And, of course, that mess with his mistress, although I suppose after 9/11 that's pretty much moot.

I think he'd be happier returning as mayor, myself, especially considering that his successor is looking, well, undistinguished.

Oh, I don't think she will run "willingly"(sarcasm). I believe she will rush in to 'save" the party when just before the convention something happens to derail the leader. Or, and I think this is more likely, she will accept, humbly(barf), the nomination for the VP. If they lose, not her fault. If they win, the pres gets inaugurated, serves a short time, leaves office (one way or another), Hitlery becomes pres, with the opportunity to run for 2 more terms!
Talk about a nightmare! And, she will say she was only doing it because they asked her. It was never her intention. (OK, now I really feel ill).

[Zavien Doombringer]

OOOOoooo, You really hit something there. I hadn't thought of that. 8 and a half years of Hitlery, she could also boast she was in longer than her husband!...

Now I need to shower...

[fightu4it]

"58 percent of registered New York state voters don't want Hillary to run for the nation's highest office..."

What percent of the vote did she get when she ran for the Senate?

Does this mean they will tolerate her as a senator but would not as president? What the hell are New Yorkers trying to tell us?

[OXENinFLA]

Ditto...But she will also say it is "FOR THE CHILDREN"

[Zavien Doombringer]

From what I gather, she may not have a chance next run for senate.

[mabelkitty]

This is why she's pulling a "Billy for Prez" move.

Billy left Arkansas just as he was about to be voted out of office.

Hillary won't win her Senate seat, so she needs to run in 2004. After that, she will no longer have a platform.

[tkathy]

I don't feel Hillary is a valid threat. I do think Al Gore has his sights on 2008.

[mabelkitty]

Correction. She won't "Run for President"; she'll "accept the draft of the Democratic Party".

[newgeezer]

The poll suggests nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers take Hillary at her word on that pledge.

Fools. She knew what she was doing when she decided to run there.
