Better a shrew than a loser? Hillary Clinton has gained significantly on Al Gore in the race for the Democrats’ 2004 presidential nomination, according to a new Zogby America poll.

Gore is still the top choice among likely Democrat voters at 27 percent, with Sen. Clinton close behind at 22 percent. In August, Gore led the "New Yorker” 40 percent to 24 percent.

Thirty-eight percent said Gore deserved the nomination after failing in 2000; 42 percent said it was time for someone new.

Trailing far behind are Senate plurality leader Tom Daschle at 8 percent, and House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt and former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey at 7 percent each. With 3 percent or less: Sen. John Kerry of Taxachusetts, Sen. Joseph "Plagiarism” Biden of Delaware, former Nebraska Gov. Bob Kerrey, Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana and Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina.

The poll of 414 likely Democrat voters nationwide was conducted from Friday to Sunday. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 5 percent.

It's her final shot.

I thought that Hitlaery (Gaelic since we are fast approaching St Patrick's Day) was the Alpha Male?

[Revolting cat!]

Senator Evita Evil will run only if she can be reasonably assured of winning. I thought we agreed on that a week ago. This will depend on honest polls in 2004. If the polls don't go her way a loser will be nominated, a Demagogue Party Bob Dole if you will. She's more likely to run in 2008. 50,000,000 FReepers can't be wrong, said Elvis Presley!.

hillary is going to run for President in '04. She will, as she did when she ran for the Senate seat in N.Y., wait until the last minute to declare her candacy at a friendly surrounding such as a n.o.w. convention.

I agree she will take a shot at the White House, but I'm convinced it will be in '08. She'll let Gore crucify himself once and for all running against an incumbent President who will be more popular than Ronald Reagan at his best.

There will be voter fraud to an extent never seen in the world previous to this.

The prelude of this was already played out in California. Missing Republican voting machines. . . not enough Republican ballots. . . In my precinct, they conveniently lost the Republican voter lists. . . and none of this got reported in the press AT ALL!

Those who underestimate hillary do so at their own peril.

Amen. So gather weapons and ammo now, while you still can. We all will figure to need it when the Hildebeast takes over.

These eight years may only be a respite in an ongoing Klintonista reign of terror.

This is pretty silly news manufacturing.

Whatever the polls say this early is utterly meaningless. Remember that powerhouse campaign from Elizabeth Dole the pollsters talked about over a year before the Republican nomination in 2000? Hillary may have a slightly better chance at her party's nomination than Libby, but only slightly.

I hereby buck the pollsters and predict neither Algore nor Hillary will get the Dem nomination in 2004. More likely are Bill Bradley, Bob or John Kerry, or even Puff Daschle. And currently it looks like Bush will win fairly easily over any of them.

Why do you think the media writes about it?

[Right_in_Virginia]

"She will get 90% of the Black vote,98% of the homosexual vote, 97%of the women vote."

I agree we should not underestimate Hillary!, but let's not overestimate her, either.

IMHO, I think she will get 97% of the Black vote, 100% of the homosexual vote, 100% of the Hollywood vote

50% of the women vote (don't underestimate how we LOVE Dubya, and feel protected with him in office)

0.5% of the military vote, 0.5% of the white male vote, 1% of the firefighters and police vote

0% of the American Heartland heartland vote, 0% of the gun owners vote

and 0% of the vote of an ENERGIZED Republican base.

If Hillary gets the nomination, methinks we still have a chance to win. :-)

[smoothsailing]

Yeah. Well OK.

If Laura ran against Hillary, who would the women vote for? Would Hillary still get your 97%?

Of course everyone knows that Gray Davis is going to come out of California and beat Bushy in 2004.
