President Hillary?

So, should we now look forward to President Hillary in 2008?

Absolutely not a chance in hell.

Her candidacy would be an absolute death-knell to any chances anywhere in Red America, would draw right-wing wackaloons out of the woodwork more than anyone else's could, and would be yet ANOTHER seat lost in the Senate if she declined or aborted a second term to run.

I don't know who the Dems can call on to try to salvage America in 2008, but Hillary's not it.

I suspect that the Democrat will win the next election, almost irrespective of who it is. The Republicans will have nobody but themselves to blame for anything in this coming term. But I think Hillary's main attraction is how much she annoys Republicans, and I don't think that's enought to win her the primary.

You know, I was thinking the same thing, although I was flipping between Clinton/Obama and Edwards/Obama.

Hillary has a hell of a lot more experience. I know conservative males hate her, but I'm not sure about conservative women.

She seems to becoming more of a centrist, which is not exactly a bad thing.

I don't hate her, but I'm not too sure I 'like' her either.

We hate her more, rich.

I really don't think that Obama will play in flyover states.

We were starting to talk tonight who the R's might put up for 2008. I'm thinking Santorum at this point.

I don't have any reason to "hate" her. But I wouldn't want her in the White House, that's for sure.

If Hillary ever becomes president, I'll move to North Korea.

I would write in Osama if that happened. He'd be better for this country.

I still hold out hope that Colin Powell will run someday. Someday...

How about Powell for president and Schwartzkopf for VP?

Now there is a dynamic duo who have both experience and viability.
