Of course, the other possibility of a Hillary victory is if the Republican candidate just isn't ready for prime time. The only possible candidate on either side who has been throughly vetted is Al Gore and to a lesser degree John Edwards. Like him or not, Al Gore did run a very viable campaign in 2000 and came frightfully close to winning. I still think Gore is the most viable candidate the Democrats could run.
Yes, she can win if she is able to have a large turn out of single women, who tend to vote democrat.
If the Republican Party does something totally stupid--like trashing its traditional conservative base by nominating a LIBERAL, Hillary can win.
If you want to DIVIDE AND SPLIT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WIDE OPEN,,,,Rudy is JUST THE MAN FOR THE JOB!!!
Negative perceptions can be changed by emotional events.
America would soften toward Hillary, if, for example, her daughter were to tragically die and a grieving mother were portrayed.
(Note to Bill O’Reilly — this is not a suggestion of harm for Chelsea.)
I think Algore could win, no matter who the 'Pubbies run.
But it would be hard to run a viable primary campaign without ever getting on an airplane. And Algore knows better than to get on an airplane if he's running against Hillary!.
The Viking Kitties would be preferable. At least they play with you a bit before the ZOT!
Grammar nazis have no mercy. I know, 'cuz I are one....
I think some of the negatives are on the left, who will go with her in the election.
I actually think that is an important part of her plan.
Even attempting to compare Fred to Dole is like comparing a fire hose to a lawn sprinkler.
How about “Fury”? He was dark. :)
My friend Flicka......
Depends on who the candidate is. If it is Rudy, Hillary wins. The party is too divided. If it is Thompson, I think the troops will rally to defeat Hillary if for no other reason. There are no ideological reasons not to vote for Thompson. There are for Rudy.
Never fear. The Clintons most likely have a Ross Perot II waiting in the wings with enough of a fake, know-it-all, conservative platform to siphon off enough Republican votes for her to win it. Add that to some manufactured “scandal” involving the Republican nominee at the last minute before the elections, after it’s too late for him to recover or disprove it - and there you have it - President Hillary Rodham Clinton - Her Highness Potentate. She wouldn’t be running without the assurance of winning. The danger is in underestimating how low they will go to win. Never forget it.
he won with 42% of the popular vote, because the conservative ticket was split between Dole and Perot.
Yes, I would prefer a good Zotting over being reprimanded by the grammar police. It’s much more enjoyable. :-)
We may be looking at a Hillary Presidency if something exciting doesn’t happen on the Republican side soon (are you listening, Fred?)
We’ll just have to wait and see.
“... there is a requirement that the nominees for President and Vice-President be from different states.”
IIRC, the Constitution says that a state’s electors (to the Electoral College) cannot vote for candidates for President *and* Vice-President if they are *both* from that state. As a practical matter, to prevent the possibility of a split Presidency and Vice-Presidency and for geographical balance, nominees for President and Vice-President historically have been from different states.
