Analysis: Clinton Undecided on '08 Run
AP ^ | 11/15/2006 | BETH FOUHY

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's professed indecision about a presidential bid seems a bit disingenuous. After all, she has millions in the bank, a national network of supporters and an unrivaled team of political strategists. Not to be trumped by other potential candidates/authors, the former first lady plans to rerelease her best-selling book, "It Takes a Village."

Fresh off her landslide Senate re-election victory, the New York lawmaker has been inundated with questions about her political future. Although polls show her the front-runner for her party's 2008 presidential nomination, Clinton insists she's just starting the process of making a final decision.

"I will look at the possibilities, but I ... haven't really had the time to talk to people about it," Clinton said in New York earlier this week - the latest non-answer to the question that's dogged her incessantly since the midterm elections.

I work with a lib, and every time the subject of The Beast comes up, he insists that she won't be nominated.

I think he's mortified at the thought...

Perhaps. But I believe our country is still a tad too chauvinistic to allow it.

And I have *no* problem w/ that.

C'mon folks - wise up. This is all part of a wielding image and power 101. 1) She keeps everyone waiting, waiting and waiting until her supporters are begging and pleading for it - becomes "the people's choice", not personal ambition. (we see through it obviously)

2) The less time you're in the campaign spotlight, the less time your dirt can be exposed.

With all the women in this country still in love with Billie Boy she'll get those votes just so they can have him back in the WH.. According to Dick, wrong most of the time, Morris, millions of poor working women who watch Oprah will register just to vote for her, creating a whole new class of voter for the dems... (BARF)...

What a crock. What a total load of B-period, S-period. This bit*h is slobbering at the mouth, foaming at the lips, to get her freaking name on the ballot. Then, Nannynation will elect this freak as our president and we will be ordained with, da-da "the first gentleman!!!" Damn, ain't we gonna be lucky.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Perfect.

At this point, if she "decides" not to run she will have a hard time getting the car stopped.

women, liberals, illegals, terrorists, homosexuals, leftists, communists, socialists, and all the "give me free stuff" crowd will vote for her.

Don't forget Dead-Americans. They vote, too, and all vote Democrat so they will vote for Mrs. Clinton in a heartbeat, so to speak.

I will make the prediction right here - she doesn't run - ever.

I really think she wants to, but realizes she won't win.

I said she would run, and win, in 2000. She will announce for president if and when she is basically certain she can win. If she announces, we're in trouble. But she will not expose herself to a humiliating defeat. The wicked witch won't look in that mirror.

Right now it is actually too early to tell what she will do. Events will dictate her decision. But no doubt the skank genuinely thinks she deserves to be president, not just of the US but the whole fricking world.

She won't debate. If she runs and if the TV debate is to come off at all this time around this time around, it will have to be so structured that the Republican may only say certain things and evince certain facial expressions.

This analysis proves an old adage about those that vote RAT--democrat politicians don't think they're stupid, they get elected because of it.

She speaks with forked tongue...this is all for public consumption. It was her intent 14 years ago to be president.
She is the most calculating person in public life...she is "misunderestimated" at our own peril.
