OK! Let's be courageous and honest. Who here can admit they like Hillary?

[Auntie Bush]

Of course I LOVE the General...but I can (at the risk of forever being flamed) finally, although belatedly, admit that I think our country would be in good safe hands in the hands of the ClintonS. I only say this...should the good General not choose to run. I think a Clinton/ Clark ticket would be pretty good...however, I'm concerned that Clinton on the ticket would cause us to lose a few red states. However, I would hope that the Independent people could overlook that because of their support, admiration and confidence in the General. Of course, I wish the ticket could be Clark/Clinton, but if Hillary wins the primary...I'd be happy to support her with Wes on the ticket. SHOOT! but I hope your aim is as bad as Cheney's.

Hits the Post Message button...:scared:

[KingFlorez]

1. I like Hillary

[Faryn Balyncd]

23. I like Hillary. I would vote for Hillary.....But she is the WORST choice. I will do all I can to...

I like Hillary. I would vote for Hillary.....But she is the WORST choice. I will do all I can to keep her OFF the ticket.

She is a war-accommidator.

She is a fence-straddler.

She as chosen a position AS CLOSE TO LIEBERMAN'S AS SHE THINKS SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH.

She has only adopted positions opposing the Bush/Cheney regime when she has been forced, by overwhelming opinion among the base of the Democratic Party.

She lags behind even ethe overwhelming opinion of the American people.

When it comes to having the courage to directly take on the vital issues of our time, she is NOT A STATESMAN.

The issue is NOT whether we LIKE Hillary, or whether we WOULD VOTE for Hillary against an even worse GOP warmonger.

The issue is: Who will unapologetically champion American values against an out-of-control, warmongering, "unitary executive" GOP?

[soothsayer]

2. I'm coming around to her. Sure feels like it would be a safer, saner

place, and would surely significantly begin to repair our reputation in the eyes of the world.

[LoZoccolo]

3. Yeah, I'd vote for her. n/t

[Old and In the Way]

4. Not my first choice, but I'd happily vote for her if she wins the nomination.

[LiberalFighter]

56. Same here

And with the belief that she could win.

There are others that I wouldn't feel as good about or trust.

[SharonAnn]

5. I like her a lot.

[skipos]

6. I like her. I just don't want her to be our nominee.

I don't care what the polls say right now, I think she will be to easy for the Publics to beat.

[El Fuego]

28. Ditto.

That's what I was going to say.

[quinnox]

7. Me!

I think she is great and she is my top pick so far!

[valerief]

8. Hillery? nt

[Auntie Bush]

20. Oh shoot, I meant that.

[NancyG]

9. Clinton/Clark would be great

or any other Dem combo that will win.

If she wins the primary due to money and name recognition, sure I'll vote for her.

Want another Republican administration? We thought the Bush one would be short. Look what we got.

[k_jerome]

73. noooooo!!! nt.

[LaBanty]

10. the jury is still out

Hillary is tough, she's focused, she's ruthless, she's smart, and she's experienced. Do I trust her? Not as far as I can throw her.

On the other hand, Bush seemed "trustworthy" and he's a deceitful idiot.

Unfortunately, by the time they're voted in it's too late to find out you misjudged someone. Just ask all the Bush voters!

Let's put it this way: Hillary or Bush? Hillary. Hillary or Obama? I'd take Obama.

[jackbourassa]

38. I don't like her

And have three or four candidates I prefer above her.

[Buck Laser]

11. ME!!!

She's not necessarily my main choice, but I could sure be comfortable. Richardson is my main man.

[dmallind]

29. Ditto

Normally hate me too posts taht add nothing but in this case I want to show that the DU population is not uniformally anti-centrist and anti Hillary.

So yep, assuming Richardson won't be able to overcome the name recognition and fundraising edge both Obama and HRC have, she'd be next up on my list (although Bayh or Warner could possibly have been had they remained or become alternatives)

[JohnnyLib2]

12. I'm in.

Being a believer in OJT, on job training, there is much to appreciate in her background. Of course much of it is called "baggage," but -- she has the experience at many levels of government.

[Adelante]

13. STFU!!

;)

Without Wes at the head of any ticket, it doesn't really work. He might as well keep his day jobs. However, I like and admire Hillary well enough to see she would be as good a president as any who isn't Wes.

[Auntie Bush]

27. Hey! You gave me a scare there!

[Adelante]

40. I know

:rofl:

[gratefultobelib]

35. What does STFU stand for? I mean I have some guesses, but I'm really not sure.

[Adelante]

41. You've probably got it right

But I was just teasing my friend the OP. :D

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. I don't know her so can't say whether I "like" her or not, but I respect her

for her savvy and intellect and courage. She probably has to be very calculated about what she shows externally, and is likely quite different in actuality. But, if she were the Dem nominee, I would support her.

[durrrty libby]

15. Gore would still be #1 for me, but Hillary is intelligent, tough,

and she believes in dipolmacy.

I am confident that she would be a great president

[natrat]

16. if you pay me i'll say i like her

[Taverner]

17. I "like" Hilary

I think she would make a good President, and if she wins the Primary she has my support 100%.

Do I trust her? No - but you shouldn't trust ANY politician.

[rinsd]

18. I love Senator Hillary Clinton.

I would like John Edwards more as the Prez nod but have no prob with Clinton getting it.

[OregonBlue]

19. I have other candidates I prefer but I will support her if she becomes the

nominee. She's smart and capable.

[napi21]

21. I like Hillary, but I was never one of the haters on DU either.

I wish everyone would watch her two videoed chats, with an open mind, and give a fair assessment. I think many people are against her without even giving her a chance.

[patricia92243]

22. Do I have to say "I like Hillary?" Can I say "I love Hillary." :)

:)

[capi888]

24. I like Hillary..

However, I have this to say about her being President at this time.
I was Director of Education, for a ME company in the late 80's early 90's. I was in the Beauty Industry, educating suppliers for a product for skin of color. ALL colors!! The company I worked for was from Pakistan. They were also an import-export company for American goods.
Understanding the Culture of ME was a long learning process. I was not allowed in any of the meetings, of the heads of the depts. Only men! This means, that the culture to listen, be advised or idea's put forth of women, is very difficult and not respected. Its their Culture!!! American People, in the most part, do not realize this is an issue of great importance. I quit 8 times, and they would bring me back...with more promises. Then it would not happen. No matter how much they respected my ability and people power, it wasn't enough to consider me an equal! Yet they wanted me on board as I was a great spokesman for the company and knew how to get to the people.
I don't think Hillary is the person, who would have the power to make changes needed diplomatically, to change the minds and convictions of the Arabs/Muslims to construct a peace agreement. WOMEN, is still a second class specie, in Muslim culture. No matter how smart, how well known, how intelligent, or how effective. Its just the way it is!!!
That is why we are Americans, who except people for their knowledge, intelligence,and values and not their sex!
I think we need a Leader, who knows the ropes in the ME, has the contacts and respects the different cultural difference. Their aren't many...as we see what the WH is doing now. I support Wes Clark for his knowledge and experience of realizing this factor.

[Auntie Bush]

I certainly agree with your comment and have worried about that.!

I have often wondered if Condi and Albright have been hampered by the fact they are women.

But, if Clark is not our candidate...who would you support or recommend?

Just out of curiosity...since you should know...do MEerner's respect blacks? ie Would they respect Obama? :shrug:

[capi888]

68. Yes, I think they would...after all

He is a male, also his experience in the ME as a child would be helpful. I think his heritage, plays an important role also.
I know Hillary would be a good President too...its not about that. Its WHO is the BEST to get us out of this MESS, that BushCo has got us into. We are really going to have to listen. We are in a crisis!!!
My experience, told me, NO MATTER HOW important I was to the Company, the fact that I was female hampered my IDEA's getting across, and was silenced. It is the CULTURE!!

[Madspirit]

81. ...don't give a flying frak

I don't give a flying frak what misogynist cultures think of women. Ask me what I think of misogynist cultures.

I would vote for Hillary if she was the nominee.
Madspirit

[mentalsolstice]

55. So we're going to let the MidEast dictate our choice for President?

Um, that's just kinda stupid! The ME is going to be a major factor in our international policies for a long time to come. So are you suggesting we should never have a female president, because it would offend their culture?

[capi888]

72. Of Course Not...

I like her too. I was just pointing out what and how different cultures make decisions. Also, the fact that it MAY be more difficult, for her to be heard. Believe me, I probably offended their culture many times, as I had a long learning curve. I took it personally, which was not the case. The ME people have a lower status of women in their country, and it does carry over. That is why CONDI is having no luck with them. She does not understand...its one fact...women.

At this time we need to get our troops home. We need to end this war...We need every chance we have since this cabal has messed it up so bad...
If Hillary gets the nomination...I will definatly support her. I like her...

[mentalsolstice]

93. I see what you're saying...

...however, I think it still sets women back to suggest they're handicapped by their gender, because other nations may not deal with them fairly. I get that's not your intent, obviously, since you say you'll support her if she gets the nomination. And the ME is going to be an issue for decades to come...

On another note, I don't consider Condi to be a woman...she's a snake! :evilgrin:

[Auntie Bush]

109. in the grass

and a nasty ugly one to boot!

[unpossibles]

25. I would support her. I like her, and I think she is smart and capable

but I worry about her electability, both as a woman and as a Clinton.

I think she'd be a great President and would support her if she gets the nomination.

[Bjornsdotter]

26. Not my first choice

...but I would be comfortable voting for her. I never said that about Kerry.

cheers

[Parche]

30. hillary

I like Hillary, I just want Kerry to run and win.........

[Auntie Bush]

31. Sorry to all the Kerry supporters, but it was just announced he will not run again.

[Imagevision]

103. I believe Hillary would be a great VP. to Barack Obama...

[Auntie Bush]

111. For someone who has all the experience Hillary has

I think a Clinton/Obama is far more appropriate. Obama is still young a inexperienced and can afford to wait another 8 years. Then he will be perfect! We have lots of good people running now who may be too old to run in 2016. Why waste their expertise?...when we can have both?

[MonkeyFunk]

32. I like her just fine

I think she showed great fortitude by running for the Senate and winning after everything they'd put her through in the 90s. She didn't back down, she didn't go into hiding - she fought back. I admire that.

[AtomicKitten]

33. If she wins the primary

I will be happy to support her in the general - with the good General by her side or any other good Democrat. One thing about HRC, she knows how to kick ass and take names. She is rubber, the GOP is glue ...

Go Dems.

[abburdlen]

34. Like her enough for the primaries?

No. But she isn't my last choice either.
Like her enough to vote for her in the general election? Certainly!

She is obviously an intelligent, capable person and the country would be in better shape than it is today with her in the Oval Office. I think too many people even here have bought into the right's caricature of her (shrill, calculating and mad with power).

[gratefultobelib]

36. I like and admire her tremendously. I would be THRILLED to have her as our president!

[blm]

37. I used to like her alot, and still find her demeanor pleasant...but...

the Clintons' insistence on covering up for the Bushes and enabling secrecy and privilege all these years does not sit well with me as an open government Democrat and an American citizen.

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2006/111106.html

[AtomicKitten]

39. smearing one of the now declared Dem candidates is against the rules

and I really wish you would stop it now ....

[blm]

43. Historical truth about governance is not smearing.

Why don't you post all the reasons why open government Democrats would have nothing to fear from a Clinton gaining office again, instead of pretending that none of this is true?

[rinsd]

44. Historical truth? Its opinion and analysis.

And I'm sorry people who cite their own work as evidence suck.

And this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard

"Clinton picked Woolsey as a reward to the neocon-leaning editors of the New Republic"

Now I know Parry has done good work but this article is terrible.

[blm]

46. Read Clinton's book.

I suppose you have a great reason why Clinton never even mentions one word about BCCI, even though he inherited the outstanding matters in it when he took office.

[rinsd]

53. I have read his book.

Besides the author's premise is bunk.

1st, Clinton had all of two years with a Dem Congress.

2nd, his 1st priority was the continued assisting of America's economy recovering from the Bush recession by implementing his domestic plan.

3rd, what is the supeona power of the President?

Remind me again how people's opinions changed following the Iran Contra hearings.

Oliver North almost got elected for crissakes.

[blm]

77. CIA drugrunning story in 1996 on Clinton's watch. His WH downplayed

the story and denied its significance while targetting the Pulitzer Prize winning reporter for a takedown. Gary Webb's story was proved to be accurate a couple years later as CIA documents that were finally turned over confirmed his reporting - however, the truth was buried in the back pages of all those papers who condemned his report at the time.

[rinsd]

78. Mena? Are you shitting me?

[blm]

82. No. The CIA drugrunning story that had Contra cocaine dealers being protected

by CIA figures also involved with IranContra. They were dumping cheap cocaine in black communities all over the country.

Maybe the fact that you are unaware of this story is one of the reasons you can't understand why Truth Matters and how devastating it is for this country when it gets covered up for reasons of secrecy and privilege.

BET documentary American Gangster can fill you in. Or research Gary Webb. He was the reporter taken down.

[Tellurian]

54. Some people are too myopic to realize what lies ahead..

They don't have the wherewithal to realize the enemy we face..

Just wait until the roof caves in on them and they lie curled up in a fetal position
wondering.."How Did This All Happen?" And you guessed it!

Those SAME people will be blaming the Clintons.

These tawdry, simplistic people calling for blood,

aren't worth talking to..let them rant on in their inane insecurities.

[blm]

76. Clinton wasn't myopic covering up for Bush1 so a Bush2 could be installed?

.

[AtomicKitten]

87. On second thought ...

I'm done feeding into your nonsense, blm. You're on your own.

[Tellurian]

89. It's ALL Flamebait--- AlLL the Time..

what do you expect?

[AtomicKitten]

90. you're right

soon this will be ANTI-Democratic Underground

FEH

[Tellurian]

92. Yep, like spoiled children having to go to bed without watching Star Trek..

They could care less about Kerry's health, his family, nada..

It'a ALL ABOUT THEM!!!!

SHUCK AND JIVE, BABY ! THIS IS GONNA BE ONE WILD RIDE!

TOLYA!

[laugle]

98. "woot" LOL

sorry....I couldn't resist......

[mtnsnake]

120. You shoul stop using 1 author's slanted viewpoint to ruin the good name of the Clintons

If you could make a dollar for every time you've taken this ONE author's story or that opionated view of some particularly disgruntled poster from Dailykos that you paste over and over and over again, you'd be a multi-millionaire by now.

How about using FACTS instead of opinionated hearsay from now on to back up your wild claims that Bill and Hillary are in bed with the Bushes.

You wanna post a fact about Bill Clinton? Here's one for you: He was the best president since JFK, and if Hillary happens to get elected, she'll make another great Democratic president. :smoke:

[blm]

125. Robert Parry is not a disgruntled blogger - he is a REAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER

something that is an anathema to the corrupt and those who coverup for the corruopt.

Would you call Hersch a disgruntled poster? Would you call Jonathan Landay a disgruntled poster?

You never speak to the TRUTH that many outstanding matters that Clinton had control of in 1993 were left UNPURSUED, and ignore their significance even though those matters also contained the roots of 9-11 and this Iraq war policy.

And instead you heap scorn on those who expected a Dem president to do the right thing for the citizens of this country and CLEAN UP after the years of corruption by exposing more of the truth of what had been done in their name - instead, he chose to cover up for BushInc.

Clinton made that choice but you don't want him held responsible for that choice he made in all our names and you don't even want it mentioned or discussed.

I would have chosen exposing the corruption. What would you have chosen if you had taken office in 1993?

[mtnsnake]

127. I didn't say he was. Read my post again before you go postal. lol

What I said:

If you could make a dollar for every time you've taken this ONE author's story or that opionated view of some particularly disgruntled poster from Dailykos that you paste over and over and over again, you'd be a multi-millionaire by now.

See the "or" in there? That means the "author" and the "disgruntled poster from dailykos" are two different people, not the same. Geeesh.

[Bobbie Jo]

42. I do. n/t

[Nimrod2005]

45. I LOVE HILLARY.........nt

[fuzzyball]

47. Hillary is my #1 choice in 2008

followed by Dodd, and gov of NM Richardson.

[LeftishBrit]

48. I like her well enough

Don't know the candidates well enough to choose one over the others; I probably prefer Gore, but that might just be because he was robbed last time. But, from the point of view of the world's basic survival, all the likely Democrats seem to be light years ahead of the likely Republicans.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

49. I like her... as a Senator.

Just not as my President. I'll support any Democrat in the general election, however.

[AbbyR]

50. I like her very much

She will not be my choice in the primaries, but if she wins the nomination, I will certainly vote for her. No problem.

[LynneSin]

51. I like Hillary and I would vote for her if she got the nomination

She doesn't have it yet though

[watercolors]

52. count me in, but

I will support whom ever becomes our canidate for the Democratic ticket

[ElizabethDC]

57. I like Hillary a lot

and I'm proud to say she's my number one candidate for '08.

[sandnsea]

58. Thanks. Proof positive we're fucked

I honestly can't believe this thread. The Clintons destroyed Howard Dean. They just destroyed Kerry over a non-joke. And this many people, who were actually paying attention, still don't get it. Incredible.

[k_jerome]

59. boo hoo. wahhhh. nt.

[Tellurian]

64. Waah-Waah Wee- Waah..

The gnashing of teeth is like the screech on a chalk board..
Whoever said, good sportsmanship was dead?

Anyway...Hillary has my support and my vote from now until election day, if it happens.

[rinsd]

62. Believe it.

Not everyone sucks up everything that went wrong with the Democrats and blames Clinton.

"The Clintons destroyed Howard Dean."

What a steaming pile.

"They just destroyed Kerry over a non-joke"

They destroyed? Why because Hillary didn't make an impassioned defense of Kerry?

You are so full of it your eyes are brown.

[NYCGirl]

60. I like her as NY Senator. And that's where I hope she stays. NT

[Cameron27]

61. I wouldn't have a

problem supporting her if she wins the primaries. The Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton repeat will be a problem though.

[MGD]

63. I have no problem supporting her. I have to wonder who she would pick as a running mate

it would have to be someone that balances her out.

[BrokenBeyondRepair]

65. i don't know her..

though, i think the character she plays sucks

[MirrorAshes]

66. I found her more likeable than I expected to over the past few days

I've always basically felt that she was competent and intelligent, but I was kind of surprised to actually find her engaging and charming in her appearances the past few days.

[durrrty libby]

71. Yes, that is what many are saying. Dang, she is savy

I think she will keep winning people over.

[Mass]

67. I do not!

And be sure that, if you support the General, you better be careful of Hillary. She will do whatever is necessary to keep him out of a run if she sees him as a risk.

She will stab him in the back if necessary. She will send her dogs after him if necessary.

[Auntie Bush]

69. Now that's what I call scary!

She better own a kennel to do that!

[durrrty libby]

70. Stabbing and dogs? You sound foolish

[k_jerome]

74. the Generalisimo is in love with Mrs. Clinton. nt.

[aaronbees]

110. woof woof ...

:eyes:

[leftyladyfrommo]

75. I'm liking her better and better.

I never really had a chance to listen to her before.

[laugle]

107. Kudos to you for keeping an "open mind" n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

79. No courage needed to say one likes her

I think she's a great Senator. I don't plan to support her in the primaries but if she makes it to the General Election I'll vote for her.

I think what you'll find when it comes to Senator Clinton is fewer people that consider themselves progressive or liberal picking her as a first choice. As a result they won't be working for her, but will probably still vote for her in the GE. However, she's going to have plenty of money so I doubt she'll miss their hands and hearts all that much.

[zulchzulu]

80. As long as Carville the Turncoat is part of HRC's team...

...I'll vote for my dog before I'd vote for her in the primaries. And she's not going far in the primaries, imho.

[itcfish]

83. I Like Her

She is my senator and is doing a good job. I don't agree with everything she does, but I mostly approve of her job. I hope she makes it all the way. About time we had a woman to really clean up the House, the Senate and the WH.

[Tigress DEM]

84. My LAST choice unless she picks John Conyers as VP

I don't trust her anymore. She's too tight with the Rupert Murdock types & she bailed on the Vote Reform Election Fraud issue.

Bi-Partisan to me doesn't mean taking rethug money, because it always has strings attached and part of me says if she's getting rethug money, then she's a DINO and could be more dangerous than anyone.

John Conyers has the integrity to tell the truth when everyone else ran away, so if he trusts her then I would too.

Hard to tell from the peon seats if she really cares about the people anymore or if she's just on a power trip.

[DuaneBidoux]

85. I like Hillary! I just don't want the party to nominate her.

[wisteria]

86. I loath both of the Clinton's . n/t

91. who's your man...oh yeah, whoops. nt.

[Auntie Bush]

141. Is that you Monica?

[MasonJar]

88. I'm pulling for Hill if Gore does not run. I have a Gore/Clinton

bumper sticker on my car.

[TheDonkey]

94. Won't be supporting her in the primary (but am open to it) but I like her

She does vote on most issues the way I would. No she's not perfect but I'd support her over any rethug anyday.

[Missy M]

95. I like Hillary very much...

and want her to be president. She has my full support.

[MODemocrat]

96. I like Hillary very much

She can kick ass better than anyone else..and it looks as if she's going to have to do just that. :toast:

[laugle]

97. The "DYNAMIC DUO" Hill and Bill!! Wes Clark would make a good Secretary of Defense with

Edwards as VP!!!!

Richard Clark as National Security advisor!

Bill Clinton as a special envoy to the middle east!

Al Gore as the energy czar, with focus on alternative fuels and global warming issues!

Does anyone have a choice for Secretary of State? We need someone with major diplomacy skills and foreign policy experience.

These cabinet position's will be paramount in 08' to clean-up this horrific mess left by Bush!

[ShortnFiery]

126. OMG! Talk about a nation run by a "cult of personality" :( n/t

[Auntie Bush]

137. If Clark doesn't run... he'd be perfect for that SoS position.

He can't be SoD since he hasn't been retired for 10 years.

That's quite an impressive line up you've presented. :thumbsup:

[robcon]

99. I like Hillary. A lot.

She is my Senator, I voted for her twice, and I think she'll be the next president of the U.S.

[Buzz Clik]

100. I like her as a friend, but not as a girlfriend.

but she's really sweet and has nice clothes.

[Imagevision]

101. I like Hillary , I don't feature Bill Clinton hangin with George H.W. Bush - seems fishy!!

[Seabiscuit]

102. Oh, pulleeez... pass me the vomit bag.

[laugle]

117. I gather you won't be supporting her!! LOL

Now that's one of the more creative responses I've heard.

Yes, we Hillary supporters do have a sense of humor......

[Seabiscuit]

129. LOL! Let's hope the amusing repartee doesn't last beyond Iowa. :)

By then perhaps Al Gore will be in the race and we'll all have cause to cheer.

[laugle]

131. Maybe....but who will save the planet from Global Warming? nt

[Seabiscuit]

144. The guy who is still my President - and who deserves another 8 years:

Al Gore!

[Breeze54]

151. Here...found on Air Force One..I had a spare! lol

Barf bags...

:rofl: :puke: :puke:

[Seabiscuit]

152. Did you know Air Force One has more vomit bags than a 747?

Also since 2001 they get used up faster than on any other airplane.

You were lucky to find a spare!

Thanks!

Now, 'scuse me while I :puke:

[Breeze54]

155. LMAO!

[laugle]

156. Boy.....you are the master of trivia!! LOLl

[JerseygirlCT]

104. I like Hillary

Not sure I'm at love, but I certainly like her.

She's very, very smart. She's savvy. She'd make a very good president.

But I think the amount of Hillary-hate out there makes it a tough go for her to be elected.

[taps]

105. I'd vote for Hillary

She's not my first choice...I'd rather have Clark but I will support whoever is the nominee

[Greybnk48]

106. I'd be fine with Hillary

she's not my first choice--I really want Gore to run. But if Hillary gets the nomination, I will happily vote for her.

[AZBlue]

108. Don't be scared....I like her a lot.

I'm not sure if she's my choice for candidate because I haven't made up my mind - but she's certainly in the running for it.

[aaronbees]

112. Not my first choice but I like her well enough to support in the general

election. That's for sure. On many issues she's dead-on correct, and that includes many that I think are at the core of the Democratic party. She's not the Evil Overlord some would have us believe. I don't think I trust her a whole hell of a lot, but that's how I feel about most politicians.

[opihimoimoi]

113. I believe she is for the COMMON GOOD...I will vote for her..she is way better than any Pub out there

[KoKo]

114. I liked her years ago when she and Bill were being trashed by RW.

I have to say...I don't much like her, anymore.

115. What's wrong with Hillary?

She will be nominated. However if Gore runs.......

[Auntie Bush]

116. I'm really proud of us DUers

I really thought because there seemed to be so little support for Hillary on this board that this post would really be flamed and maybe even locked. Soooo little faith........

We actually had a decent discussion with few deleted posts...we've come a long way. I learned something...Hillary isn't as hated as I thought she was and that's especially good because she might just be our nominee.

[laugle]

118. Thanks Auntie Bush,

we "Hillary" supporters must try to set an example and whenever possible observe the "Golden Rule"!!

Sometimes it's hard......but we do try!

Now that she has declared her candidacy I hope we can have civil discussions about the pros and cons of a "Hillary" candidacy.

Right now I strongly support her, but in politics 1-year can be a long time and alot can happen, so I always keep my options open.

[Ronnie]

119. I've been admitting it for a long time.

I think she'd be a great President.

[mtnsnake]

121. I have all the confidence in the world that Hillary would satisfy most Democrats

if she became President. I'm not sure she could get elected easier than someone like Obama, but if she does find a way to fight and claw her way into the WH, I believe she'll make every one of us proud....and she'll put any fears to rest that stem from right wing attacks about her or from extreme far left hysteria about her that we encounter here occasionally. Make that more than occasionally.

[Auntie Bush]

135. I was worried about that too.

"from extreme far left hysteria about her that we encounter here occasionally. Make that more than occasionally."

Hence the :scared:

But we were really astonishingly well behaved. :thumbsup: :bounce:

[southernleftylady]

122. I like her but i think she will send the repugs out in DROVES to vote against her nt

[Auntie Bush]

138. I worry about that the most too!

But maybe female power can counteract that. One thing's for sure...if she's our candidate...the election of 2008 will have the largest turnout in history for years to come.

[Trajan]

123. FIRST Get a Democrat in office ....

THEN: Correct them ....

Hillary gets my vote ....

Likeable ? ... dont push it ...

[DemExpat]

124. I like Hillary!

But would prefer Clark to get the nomination - after him I will be happy to support any Dem candidate.

DemEx

[Roxy66]

128. I would vote for her in a second! Any Dem would have my vote!

[Godhumor]

130. As of now she's my first choice for 2008

I live in NY, I love the job she has done here, and I think she would do a great job running the country. Good luck to her.

[WA98296]

132. Do you mean, if given no other choice, would we vote for Republican HRC?

Nope, not even if she is the democratic nominee. She's still a repub.

[Auntie Bush]

139. Funny! The Republicans think she's a NY LIBERAL.

I guess that must mean she's a centrist.

[Clintonista2]

133. I like her

I also know alot of people who are completely uninterested in politics, but would actually vote for her just to see a female president.

[ronnykmarshall]

134. I LOVES me some Hil-rey!

[Infinite Hope]

136. I like her overall. n/t

[Flabbergasted]

140. Not a snowballs chance in hell would I support her....eom

[Vidar]

142. I like her as a senator.

[Andromeda]

143. Yes, I will vote for Hillary.

twice.

[Apollo11]

145. You know - a lot of people liked "The Titanic"

They were real excited to buy their tickets and get on board.

But in the end - hundreds of those passengers paid with their lives ...

It's no coincidence that most Republicans want Hillary to be the Dem. nominee.

It's like: "Jump on board! We're going down together!"

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :)

In Gore We Trust :)

148. Then you and everyone MUST read this article

Especially, if you are interested in pushing Gore and dumping Hillary.
Someone already posted the article in a recent post. Now get reading!

[joshcryer]

146. I'd hit it...

...for a women her age she still gots it.

[ileus]

147. Go Hillary

[paulk]

149. I don't have any problems with her that would prevent

me from supporting her in the general election.

as for the primaries, I'm as willing to listen to her as to any of the other candidates

something that can't be said about a lot of the internet left

whose hatred of HRC is something I have a hard time understanding

just like I had a hard time understanding the left's hatred of both Gore and Kerry...

[mikehiggins]

150. Another Clarkista who likes Hillary here ;^)

I am a New Yorker who appreciates our Junior Senator greatly. She has certainly proven to be a great asset to our great State. I don't think, however, she would be a particularly good candidate for the Presidency. Its really time for some new faces.

[saltpoint]

153. I like her ok but prefer other Democrats to comprise our ticket.

[GenDem]

154. I like her and will gladly vote for her.

[ecstatic]

157. Yes, I really like her, though I hate her vote on the IWR

In general I think she is a phenomenal woman.

[Madspirit]

158. "like"?

The subject line actually asks who likes her.
I would vote for Hillary, if she's nominated, in a NY minute. I don't like her.
I voted for her husband, both times. I don't like him.
Madspirit

[oasis]

159. Yes Hillary. She's one tough cookie.(eom)

[Hollow Shells]

160. I have never met her. n/t

[mayflower]

161. She's Too Hawkish For Me. I'm Peace Loving.

[GrantDem]

162. I like Hillary....

[Auntie Bush]

163. I think this needs a kick since Hillary is now getting more press...if possible

now that she is "listening" to Iowans and critiques are coming out on her endeavors.

What ya all think of Hillary now? :shrug: I haven't made up my mind (besides, I'm a Clark supporter) and haven't read all the reports so I was just wondering what the feelings of DUer's are. Just courious...not trying to persuade anyone either one way or the other. It would be nice to keep this thread neutralish. (If Steven Colbert can make up new words...so can I)

The reason I'd like to know is if my candidate doesn't run or drops out..I 'd like to know about other candidates. Or, if he wins :bounce: who would be a good running mate?

[barb162]

164. I like her and I like several other candidates

[DemCam]

165. A Hillary lover here.

I have such admiration for her...her ability to carry the projected shit of millions and keep standing tall,
her work ethic, her intelligence, her ability to focus. Could go on and on.

She is prepared like no other candidate that we've got. I look forward to her campaign unfolding and wish her well.

[alfredo]

166. Yeah, I like her. she stood tough when the Repugs threw

everything they had at her during the 90's. They attacked her, her husband and her daughter, but she didn't crack.

[wiley]

167. I watched her web chats under duress. I love her!

If she wins the primaries I'll work like a dog to get her elected.

[Pushed To The Left]

168. I like Hillary Clinton, and I like the other Democratic candidates as well!

I don't think she will be my top choice in the primaries, but that's because there are so many great Democrats running this time around.
