I'd love to see her as the first female president of the US.  Bill Clinton, I think was one of the best leaders in the world, so it would be great to see his legacy continue through his wife.

Everything she does is calculated to win support for the candidacy she desires.\nShe, like Bill Clinton before her, is incontrovertible evidence that America is becoming the land of the stupid, home of the braindead.\nBut hopefully people will come to their senses once again in 08 and vote for the best of two bad choices.\nAnd Hillary will be the worst of the two bad choices in any imaginable case.

Though I would love to see Hillary become president, I think you're right.  There are too many people right now that are not ready for a woman in office.  I think the only chance she could have to win the presidency would be if she chose Bill as her vice president.  I think that as vice president she could show her ability to govern this country and then perhaps in the future America would better accept her as commander in chief.  I personally like Wesley Clark, and think he and Hillary could achieve great things together.

No, never. It is theorized that Senator Hillary Clinton (of New York), wife of former President Bill Clinton, will run in the presidential election of 2008. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

She won't run! because she won't win!\nat this time, she will not get my vote.\n\nA strong woman President is a good idea, but it will not happen any time soon.  Women don't vote for women, they don't trust each others.

OK, Democrats...the chosen one...Shrillary Clinton\n    Republican...Condi...I know, she says she has no interest in running, but she will answer the call of duty as she always has.\n\nWho will win?  Well, we can choose between 2 candidates.  One worked her way to where she is, speaks several languages, is a concert pianist, was chancellor at Stanford, and was an olympic alternate in some sport, I forget what.  She also has plenty of foreigh policy experience as secretary of state.\n\nThe other candidate got to where she is by who she married including her current position(she got a lot of campaign contributions  from people  pardoned by her husband.)  And she has a complete disdain for our military, the people who keep us safe.\n\nWho would you pick?

Definitely.  It's only a matter of time before that becomes common.  Like any first though she will have to be above and beyond the capabilities of the other candidates.  I think that's going to make a good difference though and it would help the country a lot.  Hillary Clinton I think would be a bad choice as the first woman president because she's already too well known and the media hype would drown out anything she does.

How dare you attack Hillary!!! She is everything this country could hope and pray for in a first female President. \n\nShe is honest, forthright, compassionate, she knows her own mind, and she commands the highest amount of respect. Not to mention the fact that she is so in tune with what middle America wants and needs in a leader.\n\nWith her at our helm, we can return to the good old days when the entire world loved the U.S. The terrorists will bow down in defeat, our troops can return from Iraq and Afghanistan, and world peace will prevail.\n\nOn the home front, the poor and deprived will have adequate housing and medical care, the education system will thrive until we surpass the Japanese, gas prices will drop so low it will make your head spin, and the environment will return to the pristine state it was in when the pilgrims first landed on Pilgrim Rock.\n\nAnd if I ever, ever say any of this without laughing so hard I piss my pants, I beg you to come to my house and put me out of my f*cking misery, because I know I'd have to be brain dead.\n\n\n\nIt's funny how a liberal would rather comment on another answer than address the question.

If she's qualified to run the country I'll vote for her, I don;'t have a problem with a woman president or a minority president, I do however have a problem with underqualified candidates. Hillary is underqualified to be a senator, and certainly underqualified to be president, one clinton in office was enough, we don't need 2, look what 2 bush's in office has done.

Lets say for the sake of argument that Senator Clinton won the  presidential election in 2008. Right out of the box she'd be hated by at least half the voters. Hated before she even set foot in the White House. (They'd probably burn her in effigy in The South.)\n\nConservative talk show hosts have used the Clintons as punching bags and blame everything from bad weather to every problem facing the world today on them. (They must have been one powerful family to do so much damage.)\n\nSince the right wing media has put so much emphasis on hating the Clintons, there will be baggage she will carry going into the White House, regardless if its merited or not. Even if she fixed the federal debt and defict, solved the tensions in the Middle East peacefully, ended world hunger, cured cancer, and put a team of astronauts on Mars, the right wing media would continue to demonize her.\n\nWhat does it take to be president in the first place? You need to be politically connected to big business and many lobbying groups. You need support from a major political party, and you have to have access to a public relations firm that can sell you better than your opponent.\n\nThat being said, let's look at Senator Clinton objectively. She's been a lawyer, a senator, and First Lady. She's got White House experience, leadership experience with various charity and women's groups, and she's an intelligent strong minded woman. \n\nShe'd most likely be a president who would work to build bridges (politically speaking) but be hated for trying to do it. She'd work to make America a stronger nation, and be dogged and attacked every step of the way. (I do believe she loves this country, just not the way Republicans do.) I believe she has some great ideas that would make America a better country, but again, she'd face superhuman opposition from the right to anything she tried to do as president. (They really hate her.)\n\nSo, I would say she has the right set of skills to be president, but she wouldn't be as effective as she could be due to the mounting attacks and political baggage the right has (and would) burdened her with. \n\nThat being said, the current president has made such a mess of things, I really feel sorry for the next president. He (or she) will be hated no matter what actions he/she takes. This country has been so divided by the Bush administration and the Republican media attack machine. \n\n9/11 should have unified us all, but the Republicans and the Bush administration took it as an opportunity for their political ambitions, and have left us a weaker, less democratic, and more divided nation. \n\nSadly, the presidential race is more of a horse race than an important event. It's like a popularity contest, or a beauty contest. We've lost sight of electing people who would work for the betterment of the country and of the people. We now have slicked up electioneering that overlooks the real values of Americans and overlooks the real issues we're concerned about. (Real issues like jobs, education, health care, and security.)\n\nElections are now decided on "wedge issues" which have little or no meaning to most Americans. (Gay marriage, abortion, public display of the 10 Commandments, etc.) They're decided on which candidate appears better in tv commercials than on substance.\n\nHillary Clinton is a woman of substance. She'd make a great president, but she doesn't have a prayer of ever being the Commander-in-Chief.\n\nI'm really doubtful the next president can fix the divide that has been created by the right wing echo chamber. I'm doubtful the next president can fix the international relations that have been trashed by Bush, and I'm doubtful the next president can or will fix the federal deficit and budget problems. (He or she would have to things like raise taxes. The number one sin for a politician these days.)\n\nI'm hoping things will get better. It

First Lady Hillary Clinton did her job as First Lady throughout the country, and did it well enough that the name-callers and rumor-mongers could not really say much against her.\n\nSuch behavior is admirable and worthy of praise.\n\nYet, people continue to undermine their own country by calling our leaders names and spreading unfounded rumors, even lies about them.  First Lady Mrs. Clinton will always have my respect, despite my disagreements with her policies or those of her husband, President Clinton.  I would hope none of you would tolerate seditious behavior, but would fully support dissent and disagreement that is respectfully presented.\n\nWhether you think they "deserve it" or not, you've all done less than they have for this country, and you hurt us all with your callous disregard for this country and it's leaders.\n\nFree speech does not mean we cannot answer such childish behavior.\n\nGood question, but suggest: "Former First Lady Hillary Clinton" and Former President Bill Clinton.

I like her and think she would make a fine president, even with all the lies and hate that the repuglicans are spreading about her. She has been a good senator for New York, and she has experience in the white house and would have one of the best people to be one of her advisers. Who better then her husband. She cares more about the working people then most repuglicans and I think socialized healthcare time has come and I think she would at least push for it. I just think she is a smart and intelligant lady and what happened between Bill and Monica is nobodys business but theirs.

Personally, I think the man is brilliant and I wish he could be the next President of the United States...........but I don't think most Americans would elect a black man yet........although I think they would come closer to electing a black man than a white woman.\n\nI'm saddened that George Bush has not only taken our country down in the past 8 years but he has also changed our reputation in the world to other countries.  Our reputation in the world used to be one of freedom and land of opportunity to anyone willing to work hard.  George Bush has changed that reputation to one of "World Bully."   I'm not surprised that most people in the world hate us.\n\nI think Barck Obama could change all that.  I think he could bring back all the things we love about our country and go a long way in mending bad feelings around the world.\n\nIf he does run for President, I hope he doesn't choose Hillary Clinton as a running mate.  Although I'm in the minority of people who actually like Hillary, I know that nothing could make Obama lose quicker than putting Hillary on his ticket with him.\n\nAnyway, back to your question.  I think he is a brilliant man with solid morals and a cool head.  Just what our country needs.\n\nSincerely,\nRobin_in_Tennessee

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.

Hillary.....she is strong, savvy, politically astute, very intelligent, has experience in a political climate dominated by men...yet holds her own.  Her political agenda (platform) gets high marks for issues that concern the average American.  Has international diplomacy experience AND skills!  She is fair and socially conscience of peoples needs, what affects US.
