Could Hillary really make it?

makes you wonder, makes you think.

Ok, I could go on about how depressed I got when I found out we get to keep George for another four years...but we somehow managed to get by on the last four...so what the heck.

My question is, who do you think will be the next Prez? I havent really seen much talk from either party. Some Dems say Edwards, some say Hillary..etc. that leaves me wondering...could she really make it?

I dont know how not to get flames on this one. If you answer...try not to answer based on your feelings for the Dem or Rep party...well you can if you want I guess. Im just asking you to think and answer if you think that she could get elected Prez in 2008. Not based on party affiliations or anything like that, but based on....do you think she has enough support and popularity to actually get the spot?

There are a number of reasons Im asking. One is....mainly I havent posted something for a while and this was the first thing that came to mind. Second...she would be the first female president. Im wondering if she might actually be able to pull it off and get elected.

Im wondering if America is getting closer to the point where we might actually elect a female or black president. I would hope that we are getting closer. I think we are more likely to elect a female than a black person...but to me, electing either would be a step in the right direction for both.

Ok my post doesnt really have a good ending...but its 2am....cant think clearly. But...what do you think. Do you think that she could get elected or not...why?

Evan Bayh or another figure that can carry the Midwest would be best for the Democratic Party and the best choice would be a moderate or conservative Democrat, since most of America is moderate or conservative, it would be a failed venture to stick with non-moderate candidates.

George Bush was re-elected because he was able to energize his base.  I think that Hillary has the same capacity to energize her base.


So I am thinking that if Hillary gets nominated, we'll have another election year of divisive politics.  I think that Hillary would have less of a chance to win against a moderate Republican than against a hardliner.  Of course we'd have to imagine the Republicans nominating a moderate.  I doubt that'll happen.

Oh yes, we all know how McCain is hardliner, be reasonable here, think outside the box if you have to.

Dems nominate a hardliner, the Reps will answer back with a Moderate it is that simple.

Now, the question was...do you think that Hillary could possibly be elected. Not based on your own political opinions and dreams...but just do you simply think that she could possibly get elected.


As much as I dislike her, I honestly have to answer yes. But for it to happen, the next 4 years needs to go into the toilet so that the democrats can blame the Republicans. Ths is aobut a 50/50 proposition.

Second, Hillary has to position herself in the middle, and become a moderator in the very partisan senate. I give that one about a 75/35 split, for it happening.

So, Yes, I can see her winning. I hope not, but then we had Slick Willy for 8 years, and a dozen molestted women.
