Poll question: The Right Wing Media Wants To Pick Our Next Candidate
and that candidate is Hillary Clinton...


They know she will make great copy and eventually go do down in flames...

I'm not going into to get into the liberal/conservative thicket because I just want to win elections...

As Al Davis famously says "just win baby"

If our candidate is to be successful in 2008 he or she must be competitive in every area of the country... This bicoastal strategy and picking up a few Rust Belt States will be our doom...

Hillary Clinton can not win a national race... Her and Bill are extroadinarily smart and decent human beings and I hope they have the wisdom to know she can not possibly win a national election...

I harken back to Ted Kennedy's 1984 decision not to run for president after the disappointment of 1980 which left many of his supporters including myself devestated as we saw his candidacy as the fulfillment of the hopes and dreams of John and Bobby.... But it was not to be.... He had too much personal baggage...He ultimately made the prudent decision for himself and his party that he could easily win the nomination but not the general election.. I pray Hillary Clinton comes to that conclusion...

Do you want Hillary Clinton as our nominee in 2008?

1. Honestly! I don't believe there will ever be another Deomcrat
in the white house.
They will minipulate the congressional districts to insure there is a repub majority in every district and pass laws that will make it impossible for the democrats to ever achieve any kind of power.
We are now living in a facsist state with a king and his court in charge.
They will execute anyone who stands against them from this point forward and the right wing pravda media will show the executions in an attempt to suppress the rest of us.

6. You called it..the Right wants Hillary to run.
Any candidate the Right wants to run is a ticket for disaster for us. Hillary will never win the South. Can you imagine Rudy vs. Hillary? She'd barely get 40 percent.
