I was thinking the other day about Hillary Clinton and if she were to be elected President in 2008. At first I was very scared but then I kind of wanted it to happen so everyone who voted for her could see for themselves how messed up this country would become.
I for one would love to see that other woman win ..... Doctor Condi Rice. That would be great. I would vote for her in a heart beat.

I'm willing to bet a lot of money that Condi wouldn't come close to winning the nomination for GOP President.

You might be right.

DS

As if it isn't already?

Yes it is.

DS

I don't think her supporters would at any point admit they did anything wrong. I say this, of course, because if humans functioned this way, then you'd hear the phrase, "I fucked up this country by voting for George W. Bush" about 10,000 times a day.

More like a million times dude.

As a Republican, I can say I wouldn't vote for Condi Rice, I see her as basically a yeswoman. Of course if it was between her and Hillary, that'd be a different story.

Just my evaluation. I really really think that everyone (Dems & Reps) are going to be surprised when Hillary doesn't win the "nomination". I've browsed many a leftwing political blogs, talked to fellow lefties (I assuming autommatically that a righty wouldn't vote for her). I think the general consensus is that she'll get it, but I don't think she will for two reasons:

1. A lot of people think she's a bitch and just don't like her, and will not vote for her on that basis.

2. We are not quite ready for a woman President (but it's getting close)

If, bowever, I am wrong and she runs against Rice, I think Hillary would win.


I'm hopeful (and somewhat confident) that the next President will be a Democrat or maybe even an Independent. I think many people want total change.

I joke about how the next election might be: Hillary Clinton vs. Condoleezza Rice, and Ralph Nader finally wins the election.

I tend to think that it's still early and the "average joe" isn't thinking a lot about who will run. I think there is time for "someone", from both sides, perhaps someone who is low key now, to step out. We'll see. Plus, a lot (probably most importantly) depends on how we are doing and what point we are at as far as Iraq goes. There are many issues I'm concerned about, but that seems to take priority with me.

Congratulations Hillary...2008 posts...keep 'em coming.

Good one, SM!

It's time for another revolution. Neither party has the capability, intelligence, or conscience to lead America in this century. Congressional corruption, failed attempts to promote democracy around the world, dismal outlook for Social Security, no national health care (that works), jobs going overseas....I'm depressed. The Democrats don't have a platform - unless you consider anything anti-Republican as a platform. This is starting my day off on an up-note. :rolleyes:

I hope Hillary does run. I think that'll guarantee a complete defeat for the Dems, imho.

Thanks for making me pee in my pants.

I'm here to say Hillary and Bill, who had asked to receive a restraint order on DS, have succeeded. The increase in number of the hate threads he has started on them has been alarming. DS is advised to not go within 50 yards vicinity of this family.

Thanks for making me pee in my pants. [/b][/quote]Send me the cleaning bill

I heard that Hillary offered him a job to replace Howard Dean as the DNC chairman!

So if Condi Rice were to run, would you vote for her in a heartbeat, huh? :p

Maybe.


DS

Hillary vs. Condi ...man that would be the "whup ass ugly" Texas cage death match.

Frankly I do not think either of them can win (unless they are running against each other, which is highly unlikely).

However talented she is, Condi has never held elective office, and I do not think she would be all that great on the campaign trail. Running for president is an enormous undertaking starting with Iowa. It is not a thing for which someone gets on the job training. I think Ike was the last person to be elected president without having run in several previous campaigns. Also, I do not think the country is ready for a black woman to be president...sorry to say.

As for Hillary, I'd vote for her in a heartbeat, but I am smart enough to count, and when someone is polling as she is --with 51% saying they will not vote for her under any circumstances, she would not only have to change some minds, she would also have to win virtually every undecided vote. It aint gonna happen.

DS

I don't want Hillary or Condi, but I'd agree with Snake that the best thing Mrs. Clinton could do for the country would be to run for the office so that we can ensure 4 more years of a Republican in the White House. :p

I would really hope to see Nader elected.

So what are the odds half the country will change to the Green Party? 1/100000000? :p

George Bush is a pimp. He couldda never outfought Al Gore, but until this moment I didnt know it was Ralph Nader all along.

If we go by "The Godfather Returns," Jeb Bush is gay! :p

Ah... so that's why we elect our leaders... to see how badly they mess up.

But I can understand your support for Condzilla Rice. She accomplishes a remarkable feat: she makes Hillary Clinton look like a total babe.

Normally I agree with you & Snake, but not in this case. If Hitlery(sorry.......Hilary ) were to run I'm scared to death that this nation would elect that bitch.

And some people think Bush is bad, hell she would be 1000 times worse.

At least Hillary wouldn't have the ultraliberal view on economics that Bush has.

I don't know, Ice. I don't put much stock in polls, but one I'd heard said about 51% of Americans claimed they would not vote for her if she ran (for what it's worth). I'm inclined to think that's probably accurate. She's too far out for even a lot of the Dems.
