Why do so many Democrats want Hillary Clinton instead of a different Democratic candidate to be 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.

I think Hillary has lots of understanding of the system and is motivated to do things she sees as best for us.  Not all would agree with that.  She is shrewd enough to know the weight of the yoke of the anti vote just because of her husband.  If no other potential candidate poles better than her she will run but if she sees someone she likes and whom she sees as having less baggage as her she might surprise us and just throw her support to the next best candidate.  I know it sounds like a curve ball but it does make sense.  then in 2012 she would have a better shot.\nA clearer run.  I think she likes New York.  It agrees with her temperament.

Why are you so opposed to Hillary? She is a moderate and tried to reform healthcare in the 90s. That just makes no sense.\n\nI personally like Gore because we need someone who knows how to play the word game like the republicans do.

She will have a difficult time just getting the Democratic nomination because she has been an evil person over the years and there are a lot of Democrats who would love the opportunity at pay backs.\n\nHer being a woman is irrelevant (and quite frankly a matter of speculation.)\n\nElizabeth Dole would be the perfect female Presidential candidate and would likely win.

Condoleeza Rice would make a better president for many reasons; however, she would be more readily accepted by the majority of American voters on both sides of the aisle than Hillary. Hillary Clinton has a very polarizing effect on voters: you either love her or hate her. That type of polarization does not lend itself to concessus building with Congress, the American public, or other nations.

I don't think there is one decent democrat that could win and that includes Hillary Clinton She would be the absolute worst choice they could make.

B/c generally speaking the democrats try to publicly align themselves to the "poor" and "minors".  This is what they say in public avenues, whereas their personal opinions sometimes turn out to be quite the contrary.\n\nBut look at Hillary Clinton on MLK day, she made a speech comparing the republicans to "plantation owners".  The democrats specificially target the poor and what are considered to be "minorities" because they make a large % of voters and thus they hope to get their candidates into office by playing those cards.

John Edwards is a great choice. Hillary will not run. Edwards could play the outsider wanting to make change. He also has no bad House or Senate record to use against him. I wonder if Democrats are that smart?

Because the alternative was Al Gore, John Kerry and even Ralph Nader. You pick the lesser of the evil.

I was always a Republican that was until the Clinton Administration, I can now say that I am Democratic and I will vote for any Clinton that runs for office. He was awesome, regardless of the scandel, which I must say was just being human, thousands of men cheat on their wives every day, thousands of men lie about it. If everyone wanted a President with high morals they would have chosen a woman years ago. Men have 2 brains both of which they will use to think with, women don't

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 is horribly frightening to think of another Clinton in the White House, especially Hillary!! If we want to see what morals this country has left go straight in the pooper then all we need to do is vote in Hillary.

I am 60 and I hope that Hillary Clinton will be the next president, she is a intelligent strong woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right for the people. She would have an asset of her husband the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country.

I'm with you---Hillary would no doubt make  a fine President. It takes a woman to do it right and I think that she would be a breath of fresh air for the whole country.

It's not so much about the sex as the person. I think all voters would agree with that.\nWomen compose 51% of the population, so if it was a battle of the sexes thing, then if all women banded together they could easily elect a female president. Women should blame other women, not men.\nIt's not a matter of feminism, it's a matter of simple human stupidity. People in general like male leaders, and males like to be leaders. Human psychology is stupid as hell and I would definitely vote for a woman, but like I said, women have the majority in the country so if you want more female politicians then it's women's fault that they aren't becoming politicians in greater numbers.\nI can't wait for a female president. I would TOTALLY vote for Hillary even though she's a censorship queen and censorship is one of my MAJOR peeves. I would vote for ANY democratic female politician really...\nWhen it comes down to it... I think it's mainly just the fact that less females like to go into politics than males and people will ultimately just choose the person they like more. I don't think the bias against Hillary is ALL sexist because MINUS the sexism I DO see how people could still consider her a distortion of what it means to be liberal. The censorship thing is pretty lame...\nI bet Hillary looks good naked.. A LOT hotter than Monica.. MMMMM... Seriously though I hate Reps.

Yes, America needs a different aproach to politics. A "just" aproach. What America needs are men that stand for justice and truth, and are not focused on solely pleasing their party. Keep in mind, if a woman ran for president, she to would, most likely, belong to a part. She to would only be a spokesman for the party. For instance, if the Democrats chose Hilary Clinton as their 2008 candidate, which could be the end of the Democratic party, Hilary would just be a pawn of the party such as all the elected candidates before. Presidents tend to only be spokesmen of the party. That is the problem. Not sex.\n\nHowever, believe it or not, the biggest problem with politics are the voters. Citizens are the most uncredited politicians. We tend to vote for the candidate that most suits our own agenda or will. We need to vote for candidates that would truly restore our nation to justice, true judment, integridy, and dignity she once had.\n\nDo not vote for a candidate just because of his, (meaning his or her) sex, or race. I'm a NewYorker with a Puerto Rican heritage, yet I would not vote for 99.5% of all Puerto Ricans I have ever met. Minorities are no better than Majorities, (caucasians). I'm not going to vote for one just to "make history". I would only vote for one if he stood for justice.
