Hillary going down on the polls, just like Monica....ah, let's not go there.
I don't care who it is the American Public will not elect a Black Man or Women at this point in time. Since Bush and the neocons have ran this country back into the 19th centry. All civil rights have been throwen out the window. We are very fortune to a women as speaker of the House. Even if she ran for President she would not get elected.
G A Reece - I think a black man has less of a hurdle to overcome than a woman at present, but I also think we've reached the point where either is possible. A black candidate needs to be a candidate who happens to be black, however, rather than a "black candidate." Sharpton or anyone who basically is known for civil rights issues couldn't do it. Obama is a candidate who happens to be black - his much bigger hurdle is his lack of experience. Colin Powell would have won in 2000 if he ran - assuming he got in early enough, like before the donors had pre-nominated Bush. A woman could do it, too. Elizabeth Dole had a real shot - she just didn't have anything to say. That was a weird campaign. Its almost like she was running as though she believed she was the front-runner, when clearly she needed to distinguish herself from the pack.
one of you hillary people please tell me what she has accomplished in her one-plus terms in the senate. what's her signature legislation?
And her negatives will continue to rise. To know her is to dislike her. It is difficult to conceal wanton vacilliation, extreme opportunism, and a pretty blank slate of senate achievement. I am a hardcore democrat who will stay home if Clinton is nominated.
So, why does Hillary not appeal to the majority? Hearing her speak is like the sound of dragging fingernails... she is totally grating on the ears and nerves. A debate forum will show her to be the opportunist non-Clinton lovers all know her to be. She will set herself back just by starting the drawl talk... that is, if the debate is in the South.
LMAO!!! The idiot Democrats are gonna shoot themselves in the foot yet again. They're gonna nominate someone that half the population can't stand and will never vote for, no matter who the opponent might be. No presidential candidate in the history of modern polling has ever entered an election year with negative ratings as high as Hillary. And just wait until the Republicans start running their campaign ads showing (truthfully) what a lying, petty, manipulative, far left, power-hungry b***h she really is. They're gonna hang her butt-kissing of the loons at moveon.org around her neck like a lead anvil and watch with glee as it drags her down. It's gonna be loads of fun to watch!  :-) Personally, I wouldn't believe Hillary if she told me what time it was. Keep repeating it over & over to yourself" "President Giuliani" "President Giuliani" Has a nice ring to it, don't ya think?
If Hillary wins, we are doomed! I'm not saying this because she is a woman .Margaret Thatcher was prime minister of England and she did a wonderful job! But if Hillary wins, be prepared for a possible attack from terrorists because Hillary is very 'anti-war' and does not believe in counter attacks. Be prepared for more failed marriages and not just because of men anymore....but women will want to 'wear the pants' in every house across the USA!!!!!! I would rather see Courtney Love in the White House before I'd see Hillary. God, help us if she wins. :(
Hillary looks like a nasty grandma!!!  how many people would like to listen to their grandmas?  it is time for her to go home, cry, yell, and nasty to bill only.
