Does anyone know ANYBODY who wants Hillary to run?
I don't know ANY Dems that would be thrilled at a Hillary candidacy , yet Gallup says 70% of us want Hillary and she is the front runner! Is this a GOP plant or what?

4. No. I think she would be a great long term Senator from NY. All
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 07:16 PM by Pirate Smile
the Dems I know do NOT want her to run.

The Media and the Repubs want her to run.

7. This is just more Rovian sleaze to try to dominate the media and ignore
the Gannon/Social Security/Medicare/Iraq war issues.

Answer your question? ;)

9. Lemme check my list of Senators who stood with Boxer on Jan 6th.
Hmmm, I don't see her there.

I do, however, see her on the list of Senators who supported torture by confirming Gonzalez.

Senator Clinton's record speaks for itself.

11. Umm, pretty much EVERY DEMOCRAT I KNOW!
And that's not an exageration. We've all been silently supporting a Hillary run for the White House for some time, and now that 2004 has come and gone, we can all sing it proudly!

:) Hillary '08 :)

Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 07:33 PM by Placebo
she's a Clinton...she's a powerful political fighter...first woman President (long overdue)...seems to be a genuinely nice caring person...the list can go on :)

Or as my signature says, "Why not?" :D

21. "She's a Clinton" So?
Who cares who she is married to or what 'her man' has or has not done.

Regardless, there is no way this society will elect a woman in 2008 as President. We are not even close to being that evolved.

Not only is she not electable, Hillary is too moderate and too much of a centrist. Her voting ratings are close to Lieberman's.

18. No Democrat I Know Wants Hillary to Run
No Dem I know wants her to run, and no Dem I know thinks she would win the primaries or the general election if she did run.

20. For President? Frankly,...NO.
Weird thing is,...I am included.

A circle of my female friends talked about "why" we just instinctively do not want Hillary to run.

The final answer we reached: WE don't want HER to get slaughtered. We acknowledged that politics is NOT a rational game but rather an emotional one and, emotionally speaking, this country is a freakin' mess.

22. It's name recognition - Lieberman had 70% in early primary polls
She is making me sick with all her religious talk. I am not sure I'd vote for her as NY Senator if I still lived there. I was for her in her first run. She has no executive experience. Now if she ran for Gov of NY and did that for a term or 2, I'd say sure run Hillary, but not as a first term Senator.
