Hillary Clinton would get 35% of the vote

[montana500]

That's all.

[AVID]

1. if that!

[Township75]

2. SHHHHHHHHHH! Get in line!

!

[sampsonblk]

3. So what?

The election isn't going to be held today. Starting at 35% is fine.

[moggie12]

4. Do you really think it would be that high? n/t

[Dr.Phool]

5. That's about the same amount

A dead guy would get, without running a campaign.

[radric]

6. She has no chance..

[WI_DEM]

7. She would do better than that

She would get at least 40-45% but she probably would lose unless we were in a depression or there was a sudden and very abrupt shift against the Republicans--which can't be discounted. But I agree she isn't the ideal candidate. She is a wooden speaker, she is the candidate the republicans want more than any because while there is great passion among many democrats for her--there is equal passion against her on the other side. But I'll give her this much she would be one of the most qualified people to ever seek the presidency--having lived so close to the presidency and being one of the most active first ladies and her experience as a US Senator.

8. Why do so many here hate Hillary so much? Hey, it wasn't she who

lost the election in 2004 to the most pathetic president in US history. Me thinks Hillary would've run a hell of a lot smarter campaign than Kerry did, and she wouldn't have punked out to any lying puke-groups like the SBV liars. She's always stood up for herself in a noble and intelligent way and found eloquent ways to jam any criticism hurled her way down the opposition's throats. I think some of you forget how Hillary was one of the first Democrats who stood up to the right wing hate media and spelled it out to the country just how malicious they were.

9. love Hillary - want to win

[BayCityProgressive]

11. I don't get it either

Granted, I really don't agree with her on some things but she would put out a great healthcare, childcare, and education program as president. She also opposes the GOP tax plans.

[Warpy]

10. Like hell

That's name recognition.

She'd get buried in any election.

If you want to get used to President J. Bush, run Hillary.

[mtnsnake]

14. Nope, not the case. I respecfully disagree because

I've seen with my own two eyes the enthusiasm she can muster when she appears for visits in my area. Not only do ALL Democrats love her whom she comes in contact with, but MANY Republican in my area love her and have expressed their desire to support her should she run in ANY election. Okay, I'm from liberal NYS, but my area in northern NY is split pretty evenly Dem/Rep. When it comes to Hillary's popularity it's her by a huge majority. For example, Giuliani wouldn't stand a chance against her in my area, should he take her on.

18. "Trust me....

Kerry is gonna win by a landslide"

LOL

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Do you know for certain that he didn't?

LOL :eyes:

[RPM]

12. Before or after Diebold runs the numbers n/t

[wyldwolf]

13. where did you get that number?

From the place where Franken says Limbaugh gets his facts?

[JHBowden]

15. She'd get at least 45%.

The question is whether she would get the amount in the middle to put her over the top. Women may be more disposed to her, but the question is how many.

[Old and In the Way]

16. While I don't think she'd be our best candidate,

I see no reason to belive she couldn't win*.

She's an intelligent centrist that is certainly capable of being President. GW Bush has set the bar so low, I think 80% of all Americans could do a better job as chief executive. Too bad we didn't get her healthcare proposals passed in 93....we'd be way better off as a country today.












* assumes we have an election system that is verifiable and transparent.

[RUMPLEMINTZ]

17. I think Hillary

would start at 40%-45%. What I think she'll do is run to the right but would govern from the left. If she should win the nomination I think we should ignore her right wing rhetoric cause its the only thing she can do to win. I think she could get enough votes to win. I trust her to govern from the left!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Sounds about right. Just another DLC panderer.

Hopefully, the NY Dems will run a progressive against her when she's up again for the senate.
