Hillary wants to wait until '08, but she may be called on sooner

Republicans hope her premature presidential candidacy could mean ridding themselves of the Clintons at long last, but are frightened by her masterful performance in New York.

Where did he come up with this crap? The key to the election is the South, and she has no chance in the South. She never will.

what horse chit "not of her own volition"......old crusty is only and entirely motivated by her own needs

[the_rightside]

I have a feeling this bitch is never going away.

GO HILLARY GO...SHE'S THE ONLY CHANCE THE DEMS HAVE...SHE HAS THE NAME RECOGNIZETION, POLICIES AND MONEY TO WIN...

Hillary Clinton - - my worst nightmare. I remember well the N Y Senate race and just how fickle Democrat voters are.

The Democratic candidates are seeking advice from none other than Bill Clinton, who IMHO is deliberately giving them bad advice in order to strengthen Hillary, who has the uncanny ability to get away with being on both sides of just about every issue, just like her husband. Very few people seem to be alarmed that Hillary as president really means Bill Clinton in control again.

[Starrgaizr]

Run! Run! Crash! Burn!

[Jumper]

How can anyone worry about a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, especially when remembering that President Clinton diverted 100 mMillion dollars from the National Campaign to New York - a mistake that cost Al Gore the Presidency (and the reason Tipper and Hillary had the blowout during the election season) along with sacrificing a dozen senate and congressional races to elect the junior senator from New York. If the gamble was worth it, then the democrats have to run Hillary in 2004 because of the high investment in her senate campaign; they know if they wait until 2008 that they will have to defend her at a high cost in 2006, and that Chuck the Smuch will possibly retire in NY as well leaving too much turf without coattails.

Hillary plans to run in 2004 as democrat party national stragety - to think anything else is a waste of resources; it is high time to position the Republican ticket to deal with her and to make 1968 happan all over again!

[monocle]

I think the is a better possibility that Hillary could named the Vice President nominee to give her more stature in the 2008 election while hoping her presence on the ticket would help the overall results and provide coattails for members Congress.

[Gritty]

I agree.

The sinking economy and the destruction of jobs will be the major item in the 2004 campaign. The democrats will demogogue these to death.

I think Hillary! is more of a threat than anybody else out there, especially if she takes the nomination at the last minute (which is what I think her stategy is). She can galvanize the Left and the Media in a heartbeat. Millions of women will vote for her simply because she is a "woman".

One thing nobody has yet mentioned is the huge "dead" vote, illegal vote and the big city machines that will go into overdrive stuffing ballot boxes. It won't even matter if it is "obvious", all that matters is she "win". After she takes office, she owns the Justice Department and there will be no prosecutions of even widespread voter fraud no matter how much anybody screams. Look how effective Reno was in shutting Justice down!

If Hillary gets into office, the American Republic is doomed. The ultimate in Organized Crime will have prevailed, probably for good. This situation is that serious. We shouldn't kid ourselves.

I don't think Hillary is a good nationwide candidate. There is a reason she ran in NY and not her home state of IL or her old residence of AR; and that is that NY is something like 3-1 democrats to GOP in voter registration. Plus the NY news media did not ask her one serious question the whole time and basically acted like an arm of her PR team. She will get all the hardcore left votes, but there will be a certain amount of normal democrat voters who just could'nt vote for this woman.

If she has her pet monkey Greenspan force interest rates up, housing will collapse and the economy will be officially, undeniably wrecked.

In waltzes Matilda the HildaBeast.

1) W is not Lazio, who was a pathetic candidate.

2)The NY media abetted the Shrew's campaign by failing to call her on anything. Her "masterful performance" consisted of her not saying anything, and the media not asking anything. That will not happen nationally.

3)The Shrew is incapable of thinking on her feet. W would clobber her because he is smarter.

In other words, please run Hillary, please!

[just me]

Millions of women will vote for her simply because she is a "woman".

That is sad... a lot of women voted for Gore becaue they liked the way he kissed Tipper on TV.

[liberalnot]

ick!

if she wins, then i'm leaving the country.

8 years of bill was too much.

the boomer-pukes will probably elect her.

[FrogMom]

Very few people seem to be alarmed that Hillary as president really means Bill Clinton in control again. I respectfully disagree. It means Hitlery in control again. She has ALWAYS been the brains of the outfit.

[ImpotentRage]

Thank you for bringing up the vote fraud. In my opinion, until there is a method put forth that makes voting ONLY for REGISTERED AMERICAN CITIZENS we will have severe problems. I am deeply concerned about a Hillary candidacy -she is not to be underestimated. Not necessarily because of what she is, but of what she is willing to do to achieve her aims. Very frightening.

[lorrainer]

If Hitlery runs in 04, she'll get absolutely crushed! Talk about negative turnout!!!

Agreed. That is why she will force an "expendable crew member" (like Gary Locke responding to the State of the Union Address) to take the brunt of the bad results. Then she can step into the fray in '08 to "save" her party. Here's hoping Rudy runs her out of her Senate office in the meantime.

I agree... you'll recall there were plenty of experts who claimed clinton I couldn't get elected in the first place... or re-elected. We dismiss this at our peril.
