When the reality of HRC being one of the two choices crystallizes, I wouldn't count on a bunch of social conservatives staying home. And correct me if I am wrong, but the UN security council voted today to increase their involvement in Iraq, and as far as I know, WJC had no involvement.

If the Republican nominee is Juliani, then the conservative right will stay home and not vote. Juliani's strong record on abortion rights in NYC, his favoring of gay civil unions, etc., will all come out.

If it is Mittens or Fred is the Republican nominee, yea, the conservative base will come out "in droves" because abortion, gay marriage, stem cell use, etc. will then be made into the Repub's big issues in upcoming TV campaign ads--but, strategically this will backfire because there are deemed much bigger problems in the country right now by most voters.

You might be right as we are both looking into a crystal ball. But I think you are being profoundly optimistic. There is perhaps no figure in current US politics more polarizing than HRC...there certainly will not be any running in 2008. I used to think she would easily win in 2008, but as time marches on, I am not sure which red states she flips to blue by going left of Kerry. You also assume that all Democrats will vote for her...remember, she is polarizing, and many people simply do not like her.

VOTE CLINTON 2008. Please send money HERE>>> HillaryClinton.com - Welcome

Well she is now on a roll now...Obama is smart and will be a factor, but not in 2008. She is at the head of the pack.

The republicans are all too busy trying to look, talk, act (yea), and comb their hair like President Reagan (who, as a middle of the road Democrat, I really now appreciate now historically--especially compared to the last 7 years of disaster, if you get my drift!). also,....

"Mittens" Romney can't keep his stories straight yet.... McCain's fire is gone...Fred Thompson--who? President "Fred?" ...and then there Juliani-he will be the most formidable republican againts Clinton, but if Juliani is the candidate, the most conservative republicans will stay home and not vote at all since he is a social liberal...which won't help things for them...so Hill wins, and she can send Bill out world wide to patch up the U.S's negative image abroad. The US can be admired again, ie respected, i.e., then therefor SUPPORTED in their endeavors world wide.

Amen, sista!!! :wub: :wave:
 
Beware of anyone running, who wants to be President. That would have to be the crappiest job in America, so the only reason someone would want to be President would be for the power. We've long passed the time when people ran for political office for public service and to help make this a better country.

I agree. I have also become wary of anyone so keen on a candidate/platform that they can't even listen to other views. What a freakin' old person I have become. :biggrin:
