why americans should elect Hillary Clinton?

She is an intelligent, strong lady that isn't afraid to stand up for what is right, and besides she would have one of the best advisers in the world in her husband, the last legally elected president and the most successful in 40 years.

At this point, I would vote for Donald Duck as an alternative to George Bush.  He's just as articulate, after all.  Seriously, Hillary Clinton would make a fine president in my opinion.  The only problem is that the extreme right is scared to death of her.  No way she will be elected.

Third parties are a bad idea. With a three party system, the winner is usually elected with a less than majority vote. Clinton won in 96 with a majority of people voting against him.

Hillary Clinton is the wife of the previous president, Mr. Bill Clinton. She will not win the next presidency, or any other. Republicans cannot stand her, (despite her many attempts to please them), nor can anti-war democrats.\n\nThe only ones wishing Hillary would win are feminists. They want to believe she is a strong, intelligent woman capable of running the nation, (even in this time of war). However, they do not reallize she is not strong. She is not intelligent. She is merely the pawn of the men running the democratic party. Who are using her solely to win the hearts of feminists.

Seriously Figato, you really want Hillary to win? The republicans would have to nominate a pretty piss-poor candidate to lose to her which would mean they have serious issues of their own. Doubt Hillary will run in 08, the idea is propaganda to show "support" for women's rights/femanism. They'll do anything to squeeze a few more votes out of the next election. Next year Hillary will say something like: "I've decided not to run for presidant because (insert excuse here) but if you want to support me give your vote to (insert name here).\n\nAs for Americans waking up.... Not likely. Look at the aftermath of 9/11, now we have people whining about phone taps on terrorists. Ummmmmmm hello?!!? Also look at that guy who post questions here supporting osama with links and spewing anti-semitic trash (you posted on one of his questions and nice answer btw). AMERICANS support this guy on his osama questions. UN*******believable!! Don't expect Americans to wake up because a socialist, communist, or any other ist gets the presidency.\n\nCareful what you wish for my friend.\n\nRegards,\n\nRascal

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.

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.

This would be a good question for Hillary Clinton.

Because America does not want liberal leaders.  The only way they get votes is to pretend to be centrists.

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.

Americans did not vote in favor of the Democrats - they voted against the Republicans.  Americans do not agree with liberal Democrat "values".  As long as the Dems stay focused on the war, and don't try to push abortion, gay marriage, and gun control on us, they will do well.  If not, they'll see a repeat of 1994.

Having attended a college made up exclusivly of women I've had an up close look at issues I really never thought to be issues.  This is almost one.  Yes, there will people who will vote for Hillary just becasue she is a woman.  Yes, there will be people who vote against her becasue she's a woman.  Other then that, I don't really think it matters what hangs between the legs of our president, if anything.  It just matters if they are the best person for the job.  But to answer the question.  I feel it might happen and soon, just not yet.  This country needs to drag itself out of the 1940's and realize that anyone can do any job as long as they are qualified.

It's not a matter of "should a woman be president." It's not important that we elect a woman, so that we can finally say we did it. What needs to happen is to elect the most effective leader, whether it is a man or a woman. That's not so easy to do. Usually, instead of a leader, we get a politician. A politician is someone who cuts deals, trades influence, and always if it will benefit him or her. That makes politicians self-serving. A leader is someone who does the right thing for the country, whether it is good for him or her personally or not. We haven't had one of those in a long time. Harry Truman 60 years ago. Or maybe John Kennedy 45 years ago.

She may be a person of great abilities and political potential, but the simple answer is NO. The problem with Hillary is that like Kerry, her position on the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights (B. of R.) makes her just too unacceptable to a large segment of the American people. The last Presidential election forced many to choose between defending the 1st or the 2nd acts of the B.of R., and most do not want that again. Abortion is really about Religious beliefs, and most here do not agree with the Pres'. position. But many also feel that the Right to Bare Arms is essential to guaranty our freedoms FROM OUR OWN GOVERNMENT. Least we would have had KING RICHARD NIXON! And that is no joke.

How many more times is this question going to be asked??\n\nHillary Clinton has absolutely no hope of getting elected president. If she runs, she WILL get the Democratic nomination. However, in a general election, she has no chance of getting a plurality of the votes. She is too divisive, too polarizing.\n\nLet's assume she will not get many Republicans or conservative votes (a fact established by numerous polls). About 5-7% of the voters are generally undecided in any presidential election, and these voters are why campaigns are waged. About half of the remaining population will always vote Republican, and half Democrat. Again, these numbers are well established by polls and historical data.\n\nMany men and many more women who happen to be Democrats cannot stand Hillary Clinton. Again, borne out by polling data. Numbers range anywhere from 15-30% depending on the pollster and wording of the question.\n\nSo, let's say 45% will automatically vote Republican and 15% have said they will not vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances (we'll take the low end figure), that leaves 60% of the voting public who will not be casting a vote for Hillary Clinton. The numbers will probably be higher.\n\nIt would take a conservative third party candidate along the lines of a Ross Perot to swing the election Hillary Clinton's way - and that ain't gonna happen.
