Doesn't she still have to win the primary? I know it's a forgone conclusion and everything but Kerry getting the nomination last time was unexpected and certainly a turn for the worst.

This whole election will come down to two states...Ohio and Florida.  The rest of the electoral college is pretty much locked for each side.  The big question is whether or not Hillary can win one of them...if she does she wins.

How much money ya got?  :D

He's going to have to move soon, or lose that support - he got lots of free pub from his movie, then his book.  Maybe he'll fall back in love with politics when the camera isn't on him any more...
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Last poll I saw was 45 Clinton 30 Obama.  Unless something dramatic happens she's the one.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

I think the Live Earth snoozefest hurt him pretty bad.  I thought if he joined over a month ago, he was set.  Now, I think Hillary wins going away.

A year ago I though that the only way that the Democrats screw up the presidential election would be to nominate Hillary.  Now I don't even think that would do it.

Bush's presidency will keep the Democrats in power for the next 2 (and maybe as many as 4) elections.

I watched Robert Wuhl's show on HBO, I never knew that Barbara Bush was a direct decendent of Franklin Pierce, the worst president in US History

As we saw last year, a candidate is one Huzzaahhh away from charecter assasination by the media. Anything can happen... and I'm hoping it does...

Franklin Pierce, the worst president in US History

James Buchanan, the only President from PA, is also a contender.

While many people would like to put Dubya in the running, he can't compete with some of the gems back in the day.

Some would disagree...

More often, however, the rankings display a remarkable year-to-year uniformity. Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt always figure in the "great" category. Most presidents are ranked "average" or, to put it less charitably, mediocre. Johnson, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Richard M. Nixon occupy the bottom rung, and now President Bush is a leading contender to join them. A look at history, as well as Bush's policies, explains why.

You honestly think that's true? I think that if Hillary gets elected she will end up being just as hated by Conservatives (and probably some Liberals) as Bush is hated right now.

All the farging democrats have to do is find a unifying candidate and they would hold the presidency easily for the next two elections. Instead they have a completely divisive front runner and a black man named Obama as the alternative. They're doing everything they can to farg up a sure thing.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Hillary's divisive, but also a smart politician.  She'll compromise on enough non-core (for her) issues to keep most moderates happy enough to win a 2nd election. 

As I said, she was the one person I though the Republicans could beat a year ago.  Now I don't think that's enough, unless footage of her blowing Osama comes out.

its so hilarious to see the rigth wing hate the clintons so much when bill was essentially a moderate republican and hillary is even more conservative than him...basically they hated clinton because he liked black people

They wouldn't be the Democratic Party if they weren't doing everything they could to farg it up.
