I don't go out on a limb with a lot of predictions, but one that I have offered in strong terms is that Hillary Clinton will never be President. She is too widely disliked to be elected, and too well known for that to change. Plus, when voters focus on the weirdness of putting Bill Clinton back in the White House, she would lose more ground still.
Today's Des Moines Register has poll data that illustrate the point. The Republican front-runners clobber Hillary; worse, she doesn't run well against other Republicans, either:
This survey is a further measure of just how unelectable Clinton may be. She loses Iowa, albeit by tiny margins, to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, two relatively unknown guys who lose the state to Democrats Vilsack, Kerry and Edwards. Among all Iowa voters, Clinton is viewed unfavorably by a whopping 49 percent of the electorate. Only 43 percent see her in a favorable light, and 8 percent aren't sure.
By the time they get serious about choosing a nominee for 2008, the Democrats will realize that if Hillary can't carry states like Iowa, she can't win, and they won't nominate her.
The Democrats have a number of problems; one of them is that the endless chatter about Hillary has made it hard for other candidates to get traction. The ones that have been talked about the most are two more who can't win and won't be nominated: John Kerry and Al Gore. The Democrats desperately need for other candidates, who might be able to win, to start getting some sunlight, but it's hard to see just how and when that is going to happen.
That quote will and should be the centerpiece of campaigns against her.
That and she supports a national 55 mph speed limit.
In Hillary's Amerika, it takes a whole damn village to raise a kid. Weird.
And she is such a snotty elitist. She talks [down] to everyone as if they/we are all the great unwashed.
How more more petty can one be than to steal the silverware from the WH? I suspect that even some libs have figured out how much she looks down on them.
I think this weekend's FOX news interview with Bill was a reminder of the craziness that is Bill Clinton and there's not way people want him back in the White House, representing us.

Sadly, I believe this will be our next White House, Obama as Vice. |
Oh, but if everybody just WISHES hard enough, pigs CAN take flight.
It would take a true inversion of the laws of chance for Herself to be elected to the US Presidency. What the H*ll, Herself has not even been nominated yet, so it would have to be a couple of back to back highly improbable set of circumstances.
Wishes or no wishes, the window of opportunity here is astonishingly small, and can close in an instant.
"we're going to take things away from on behalf of the common good." "and ya know what I'm talkin about!!!!"
other than lib/dems...who in their right mind would vote for the see you next tuesday????
Though I'm hardly a fan of Rev. Jerry Falwell, he did make a very telling statement the other day. He predicted that should he decide to run, Lucifer himself could not unify the GOP as well as the Hildabeest could. If Shrillery decides to run the Republicans will go after her with fangs and claws bared and a take no prisoners attitude (at least I hope they would). She has an almost inexhaustable closet worth of skeletons for them to exploit.
Run, Hillary, run!
I think Biden has a better chance.
Just listen to her voice. I don't think the American public can take a 3 month campaign of that.
Hey Hillary: I may not ever eat at Le Cirque, but you'll never be president.
yea, well wait until 10 years from now when everyone is asking the ex-president Bush why he didn't do anything about illegal immigration during his 8 year term.
I like to think you are right but it frightens me that men like Bore and Skerry could get as many votes as they did.
They were not exactly charismatic figures either.
God help us if Hillary gets elected because she is absolutely a European socialist no matter what she says during the campaign.
Remember, Gore was coming off of a relatively popular Clinton incumbency and economy which people perceived as strong. And Kerry was running against "el diablol" Bush himself.
In 2008 the dems won't have Bush to kick around anymore, and an even more pressing national security issue.
