In the Senate, Hillary Clinton still supports staying in Iraq.  Recently she used her influence in the Senate to pass laws on flag burning and violent video games, instead of issues that actually affect people, like health care and education.\n\nI know that we were much better off in the 1990s than in the 2000s, and that Bill Clinton was a great president.  But liberalism is about looking ahead to the future instead of longing for the past.\n\nWe should get someone new to be president.  Russ Feingold, Wesley Clark, Bill Richardson, and Mark Warner would all make excellent candidates for president.

Hillary Clinton is popular and seems electable. She gets under those male dominated neocons skin. She is not the best candidate, though. She isn't even a real liberal, she is more of a moderate.\n I hope the Democrats nominate someone who will take a strong stance on Iraq.\n Flag burning, immigration, and gay marriage are buzz issues that appear around election time. Lets get some progressive candidates that have a definite agenda for heath care, education, economic justice for working people, and a healthy environment.  Also demos should push their own agenda and not let the GOP define them with their negative campaigns.

It's all the Alcohol and drugs these NEO_CON'S are using. Clinton's written three novels and Hillary is in her second term, as Senator of New York, just adding to their portfolio. These drunks and drug addicts are stuck in the 60's. "WHERE DID IT ALL GO MAN" Up your nose, and in your stomach's that where it all went NEO_CON'S. Vote these them out in November.

I would say many americans long for the Clinton years.  The economy was very good and no war.  Clinton's approval rating never sunk as low as Bush's, even in the midst of scandal.

c sense go ahead and make Hillary for prez then the world will unite in LAUGHTER! \n\nObama too new and doesn't stand a chance in 2008. Biden flip flops, Ford (which one?) Dean Screamer perfect for the dems. Kerry his intelluenge on the meitarly made him the new jane fonda. Gore is a whiney little bitch who thinks in his warped little mind he created the internet. \n\nBoy cant wait to see how bad things get screwed up again starting in 2007.

Bill Clinton is perceived as one of best presidents of all time....except for the far right. Even the far right, while hating him, respects him as a formidable politician.\n\nMost moderates and liberals, while disliking the way he handled the Lewinsky matter, would probably vote him as the best president ever (or at least in the top 5).\n\nHow can Hillary do anything but benefit from her association with one of the best presidents of all time? On top of that she is percived as somewhat of a martyr for all women who have had a unfaithful husband. that in itself, are a LOT of votes!

No, this totally ticked me off. I think that politicians (from both parties) will say whatever they want to please those they are speaking too. I think that is why it is important not to vote along party lines, but to vote by which candidate supports YOUR issues and things you care about and also by integrity. I think that if there ever was a chance (and believe me it was small) that i would vote for hillary clinton, it is nonexistent now. I also don't think that she will win the presidential race, especially after this.

Although you asked a good question it is doubtful that you will get a good answer. All of the Democrats like the first one are trying to rewrite history. Bill Clinton did support going to war in Iraq, he too knew their were WMD's in Iraq, Mustard Gas is a weapon of mass destruction and truck loads were found in Iraq. Large amounts of WMD were moved to Syria because Saddam thought they would help him fight America. I have no doubt that while he was setting in his RAT HOLE he thought perhaps he could not trust Syria.

If both beat out all the other Democrats they should run on the same ticket, Obama for President and Clinton for VP. I think Obama is a more charaismatic speaker and though he is still new to government it kinda works in his favor for bringing in change to how things have been run by the long-time career politicians. This fresh prespective and charisma would serve him well for establishing actual diplomatic relations with other countries. Clinton is not as charasmatic and is too engrained with the old-time political leaders.\n\nI think americans are alot closer to the idea of having an african-american president than they are to having a female president. With Clinton as VP, Obama has a better chance of surviving his term(s) in office without being assassinated since anyone wanting shot at him has to ask "Do I really want Hilary Clinton as President?"\n\nUnfortunately the Democratic party has been falling apart since they won the elections to win back the congress. If they don't regroup with a united message (like they were doing pre-election) and get some real things done to change things around the Republicans are going to regain their footing and steal back voters. It would be nice if they got their act back together before for the elections in '08, if they don't Obama & Clinton won't have an easy time of it.

I think that Obama is very smart, atractive and has caused enough of a stir to make him a viable candidate. He might have a tough time getting the nomination against Hillary Clinton due to her money raising ability.  I also like Joe Biden the senior senator from Deleware. He has a vast experience in foreign relations which is something we need at this time.

Another liberal American hater. Instead of just being haters how about come up with some ideas that would help make this world a better place. The democrats have not worked with this President or this congress at all. During the Clinton administration the Republicans crossed party lines and approved all of his judicial nominees and passed many pieces of legislation because they want to be a part of the solution and not the problem. Liberals are the most despicable people on earth. I rate them right up there with the French.

Even if the right supports Condi in the Presidential Cabinet, I really doubt their support would run all of the way to the Presidency. There are far to many in the "religion right" that would have a ideological problem with a woman being President. \n\nAs for Hillary, I think she could get a lot of support from the more liberal left, but still not enough to be elected. Not to mention there is A LOT of dirt on her. The realities of who she is would turn away all but the most liberal minded. \n\nSo yes, I think it is difficult for a female to be elected. I wouldn't rule it out for the future, but for now I find it highly unlikely it could be accomplished.

A few reasons:\n* Clinton precided over tremendous economic growth thanks to the Internet boom.\n* Clinton was president between the Cold War and the War on Terror. He cut military/defense spending and was able to concentrate on domestic spending, and spending less.\n* Clinton got to work with a fiscally responsible Congress. Only Congress has the right to spend money, according to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. The President does not have the power to do this, and therefore should never be given credit for a good economy or blame for a weak one. BTW, the economy started downward in Clinton's final year in office.

I think Nancy Pelosi has some great leadership skills and will help set  a direction for the Democrats. I am and Independent who dislikes both parties but voted for Democrats this time as it is a time for a change. Whether it will be positive remains to be seen. I have not heard of a specific direction and program agenda that they have. I do hope for the sake of the nation both parties can get us headed in the right direction. Enough of the scare tactics by Bush regarding national security. Lets actually see what can be done here not abroad to make use safer. I don't care whether Iraq stands up as a democracy or goes down the toilet. They will tear each other up based upon 2000 years of violent history and sectarian violence. Typical third world mentality. We should not abandon them but we do need to start withdrawing.

I'd gladly vote for Hillary, or perhaps even Barack Obama, who is also considering running for the Democrats. I've always been frustrated with the fact that as huge and diverse a country this is, it's primarily been a choice between two, middle-aged or higher, Christian, white men for President. It's time to bring some diversity to the Presidential race.

It would be nice to have Clinton back in office, or even his wife...for a change. But definitley a democrat, and definatley NOT Bush, or anyone connected to him!!!!

I think anyone should be able to run more than two times. If he did a good job he should stay in office till the public thinks otehrwise... And for the guy who said this:\n \n"Absoloutely not. Democrats are to blame for this mess. High taxes, and anti-business laws are making it difficult to recover fully. Of course, looking at your question proves to me that your mind is already made up, so why waste your time even bothering to post this question? Because you wish to find others who believe the same way so you don't feel so lonely."\n\nActually Republicans have been in power not only in the White House but in most of the legislator for about 5 years now. But you do have a point... i dont like those antibuisness laws either. Bill Clinton was a good president and did imany things. Under his administration they cut down on drugs alot. And people kepe saying he gutted the military which is sort of true. You have to rememebr that the cold war was over when he was in office and we didnt need that many arms. And Bush's success in the middle east (in his first term) he owes to Clinton. You are allways using the army that the guy before you had. \n\nBack to the point. Look at FDR. He was an office from 1933-1945 (which is more than two terms) and if it werent for him this country probably might not be where it is today. And as i said before... if he is a good president... let him run as many times as it takes until he isnt a good one.
