Hillary Clinton announces bid for 2008 elections

Not exactly a surprise, but it's on the news so here you are.

I will reserve my judgement for now, however I will say I am leaning towards considering her not the best candidate for the Democratic Party. So far, she doesn't seem able to appeal to the swing voters, as well as she doesn't seem to run on any novel idea or program. It is kind of the democrats might run on more of the same to me, but it is too early to judge anything just yet.

What's your take?

so..shes actually running?

id have to agree with you. i dont think she'll win because you wouldnt think of her as the best person to run for the democratics..


hm, well see.

I think Barack Obama has a better chance of election than Hilary Clinton.

Is she really a good candidate? not just because her husband was president before. But if she wins she'll be the first female..America is finally aiming for diversity in politics.

this debate is what got me started on CB and i was young and stupid.

I dont like how hilary changed her stance from going for war to opposing war just for popularity.

Freakin' a, son.
Barack Obama better win or somebody's gonna get a-hurt.

amen.

To widen the discussion's range, let me say that so far Edwards, Obama and Clinton have confirmed their will to run for presidency.

I still think Clinton is not able to appeal swing voters due to her career as uppity Northern Democrat senator, btw.

It's not surprising, but I don't think she will win...she's too liberal to win popular opinion.

I agree, esspecially after his address at the Democratical National Convention. So, this makes it what 19 people running in '08?

she MUST not win.

Well, Obama doesn't really have the money to compete with Hilary. But he seems to be pretty good friends with Oprah, so maybe she'll drop him some change.

LOL Oprah being the most influential personality today (or definitely being one of them), I wouldn't be surprised.

Out of these two, I don't know who I'd want to win, but definitely one of them...break as many norms as you can.

19? Is there a list out there somewhere I can see?

Yay! I get to vote in this presdential election. I knew she would run, but I see Obama as the Democratic Candidate. I haven't looked into the policies of Obama and Edwards, but judging from what I've read, I wouldn't vote for Clinton. (Then again, all I've read about her is from O'Reilly, and I've recently become very suspicious of his biases.) I was talking with the debate club at my school, and what worries me is that if Obama or Clinton were to run, that people would vote for Obama solely because he's Black, or Clinton solely because she's female.

psychic some person from New York Post says she's going to win!

FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT! ... maybe

i put this page to favorites to see if she's right. lol

its gonna be like this ...all the minorities and mod cons will vote for obama , and all the corporate liberals will vote for hillary , she should lay low on the estrogen pills .

i believe that:

obama has a + on foreign policy

hillary has + on domestic policy

pick or choose . the game of choice .

Ehhh. I dislike her too. Obama seems good, but he doesnt seem to have much experience (he's only been a senator for 2 years).

From what I know about Edwards, I think he'd be the best pick for the Democrats. Plus, I think he'd appeal way more to swing voters, and moderates (actually i think he's more of a moderate than liberal).

There was also a psychic who went on Regis three years ago and said Kerry would win.

^ Oh well. Psychics tell lies and get paid for it.

Woman prez, 2008 FTW!

Having in mind how the 04 elections were basically based on slander and spin rather than on actual political projects from both sides, one could argue that Obama being kind of a "rookie" amongst the USA's top politicians is something to keep in his favor. >_>;
