Hilary Clinton, the wife of Ex-president Bill Clinton has vowed to run for president in 2008 or something.. interesting news.

[Roseangelo]

Interesting news? As if no one saw this coming?

I'm all for a woman president, but Hillary isn't getting my vote.

Exactly my sentiments. And I'm not really surprised, either.

Well, it is interesting, despite it being no shock. Her politics are about the same as her husband's. But many Dems are pinning their hopes on Barack Obama.

[Katie]

no to hilary...yes to Barack!!!

Though if Condoleezza Rice were to run...and it ended up being Condy against Hilary...I'd have to...um.....vote for Stryker

[Raph's Girl]

Im voting for Obama... I don't like Hillary or Mitt Romney or Rudy Guliani or Richardson or Vilsack....

What would be cool is if Barry Gordon (he's a Dem and has his own political talk show) ran for president. That would rock...he'd get the vote of all the TMNT fans old enough to vote!

if it ends up Hillary vs Condalisa...Im moving to Canada.

That'd be the year Nader wins the election.

I'm not. For both parts of the sentence.

And yeah, not a big surprise. Ugh. I dread the whole 'Gender Issues' that will derive from this. I hate election time...

Yeah, election time sucks. And it's two years until the actual election day! *grumble*

Have you Americans heard of instant runoff voting? I like that idea. Lets you vote for your first choice candidates without worrying about whether your are handing the election to a candidate you hate. If your first choice loses, your vote goes to your second choice, etc. I think that would be awesome.

No if a woman is president women will grow beards and become more manly.

It blew my mind that, that used to be an argument against females voting.

Any whose all the power to her, someone needs to be the first female president. I say she's a good match. I mean her husband was much liked and she seems to know what she's doing.

Barack Obama may be a charismatic guy, but what real experence does he have?

Right now he has two years in Congress, which is more experience than Dubya had when he took office, and by the time the real campaigning starts he'll have another year at least. Dubya had a couple years in the Governor's office and a very unflattering resume before that. *shrug* But I'm in your boat... his record is OK but very short.

Im all for Nader to be president! I like Nader!! But he'll never be elected cuz he's Arab-American.

[That Matt Guy]

Ugh... no. Not another Clinton in the White House. We've already had to endure another damn Bush, let's bring in some new blood for the love of god.

[Draconic]

“Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

-Douglas Adams

“Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office.”

-David Broder

“For instance, it is certain that women do not want a woman for President. Nor would they have the slightest confidence in her ability to fulfill the functions of that office.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt

This pretty much sums up how I feel. As tempting as it is, I don't want Bill back in the White House. Entertaining, yes, but do we really need him back in the news again?

But really, I have nothing against a female president, however I don't think that should be her running platform, you know? I'm not going to elect a woman for president just because she's a woman. Also, if we do have a female president, I would feel much better about it if she were post-menopausal. I don't want to go to war because someone called her ugly at the wrong time of the month.

[DrSpengler]

Her stance on gaming is enough to keep me from voting for her.


Oh, and that whole "I still haven't registered"-thing.

[Spitfire]

Even if she has a poor stance on gaming Congress has to agree with her for them to do anything about that. Gaming is growing and making the move industry struggle. Don't expect them to snuff it out. It would be like stopping tobacco production. All that tax money they make.

My boss is holding a huge party in commerence to Hilary's running! We liked what the Clintons were doing, we had a surplus, the deficit was down, the economy was up, there were a record number of home owners during their run. We want those good times back! She's got 15,000 votes coming from my company alone!

Come one, come all -- nobody cares about elections up here.

[Deathknight]

Oh god, WHY? Not that I'm against having a female president it's just that I don't think at this point and time she has any chance of winning. A lot of people will probably be against having a female president thus greatly reducing the number of votes for her side. It looks like the democratic party is commiting political suicide.
