She will definitely do everything possible to avoid a debate, in a debate she will come off shrill; she is totally void the charisma that allowed Bill to get away with so much.

Extremely difficult to believe a shred of.

The only reason her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous, Bw*tch Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Marx de Stalin, de Mao, de Pol Pot . . . de Sade

would not run for President

if if the Puppet Masters had promised her Supreme Potentate of NORTHAM (borderless Canada, USA, Mexico), instead.

Otherwise, all that get in her way have a death wish, imho.

IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF

SHE DEEPLY AND THOROUGHLY REALIZES

she would be HUMILIATED if she ran

THEN she would likely not run. She can't stand humiliation worse than she can't stand to be out of power.

Here's a wicked sceanrio:

Dems try to push for Iraq withdrawl to sate their wingnuts expectations. But the President is firm so the only way forward is to cut off funding. That's a nuclear one (and they don't have the votes and know it would be hugely unpopular) so after making a fake college try Hillary "the moderate" "saves" them by transforming this strategy into an organized scaleback wherein the Iraqi's gradually take more responsibility for their own defense. Sound familiar? Same as W's but the Dems say it's with teeth (threat of sudden withdrawl).

On cue the MSM steadily begins to decrease its negative coverage of events in Iraq, and even introduce some positive developments, and after a year every pundits saying how much better things in Iraq are, thanks to the tough-love policies of Hillary and the Dems.

So basically, they pretend to do something they know they can't or shouldn't and then pretend they did something else very subtle they didn't and the MSM and all the really clever pundits ordain them the heroes and so the cry rings hither and yon in '08: Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! And Bill is in the shadows smiling wearing white pants.

But part of the trouble with that scenario is that her perception of reality is soooooooooooooo skewed in favor of the Bw*tch in her mirror, I'm skeptical she'd realize she'd be humiliated unless the data were extremely, outrageously super over the line obvious.

Despite having a virtual walkover, Hillary spent more than any other senate campaign. She wanted a big win to set herself up for the Presidential campaign.

This is at least 100% BS.

The Hildabeaste decided a long time ago to run for POTUS. Maybe as long as 8-10 years ago. Every move she's made since then has been positioning for the "big run."

IMHO, she'll get killed (politically, not physically) if she tries. But, there's no accounting for stupidity and Sociopathic behavior.

Very good point. She will definitely play hardball with the debate format

Keep in mind the Dems are already trying to modify the traditional schedule of early caucuses.

What hurts is the Republican may just agree to it.

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.

This b$%^h & her ego is going to run. Most say that she can't win. The McLames, Rudys, etc. probably can't beat her. The pubbies have no candidates that, as I call it the shadow government/elites, will allow any person to get traction for true conservative values. The media is 100% behind her. The biggest of all - this nation is ready for huge take down because of its sellout of moral & social values. Her & her husband will have brought this nation to it's lowest as a addict reaches his lowest. Then do we convert or do we go in the ash heap of other fallen nations.

She's running, and anyone who gets in her way dies!

Like JFK Jr., perhaps?

This from a woman who, when first lady, only thought the military was good for acting as servants at dinner parties.

This should be REQUIRED READING for any idiot considering voting for Hillary! in 2008.

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

Has he hinted at why that is? It'd be interesting to hear some thoughts on what is going on in libs' heads.

Well..., glad you asked.

While this guy displays many moonbat tendencies (most 'Rats do these days, thanks to the endless conspiratorial drumbeat of the leftist media these days), his approach, it seems to me, is remarkably pragmatic.

While you and I may view the Clintons as two equally slimy sides of the same coin, my friend seems perfectly willing to give Bill a pass for his faults, even saying that Bill was our greatest president (to which I invariably reply, "The greatest president of the 20th century was RONALD...WILSON...REAGAN!" pounding my fist on the desk for emphasis).

But Hillary? This may sound like a sexist double standard (imagine that coming from a liberal), but while Bill in his eyes is a likable rogue, he sees The Beast as a power hungry, grasping shrew.

The bottom line (here comes the pragmatic part) is this: he just doesn't think she can win. To a leftist, this is all that matters, and he thinks she would get stomped by just about anybody. So do I, which is why this unnatural fear that some people have of Hillary puzzles me. She doesn't scare me one bit.

Naaah, the MSM wouldn't do that! They care about truth, objectivity and our troops... oh wait.

Scary scenario there, kcar.

It's a long self searching process, right now she just thinking about thinking about it, next she will ascend to the mountain top and look down through the mist and contemplate, for days, what is good for the nation and communicate spiritually with Eleanor Roosevelt.

When she descends from the mountain top dressed in a flowing white robe, her skin glowing, her eyes filled with an ancient wisdom, she will announce to the anxiously waiting world.."After careful consideration and freezing my ass off for three day's, I have decided to..(BREAKING NEWS...PEACE HAS BROKEN OUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST..ALL INSURGENTS HAVE FLED FROM IRAQ...IRANIANS OVERTHROW GOVERNMENT..)...wait until condition are more favorable before running for President.

IMO, she will run and she will win. The win will likely be with a plurality of votes in a three-way race, much like in '92. With the mainstream media firmly in her camp, '08 will be a coronation of HRC as the first woman president, and slick Willy as the first gentleman.

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.

Those of you with young daughters, keep them away from Washington DC should Her Heinousness get elected. Either of the two of them will be out looking for nubile young assistants. My daughter had the displeasure of actually meeting x42 while he was in office; she told me he had very creepy, wandering eyes. Luckily, she's married now!
