I think that it's about time that we have another president that's not a middle aged caucasian with a full pocket.\nIt might change the way we view the world and what we do in it.

I pray that one day there is a female president.  I also pray that she is an independent.  With this type of president many of Americas problems will be fixed.

Good question, but 48% polled said they would definitely vote against here!! Those are almost impossible odds even if her brother was governor of Florida!\n\nThings change in 2 years, and she needs to come to NH so we can bless her!!\n\nEveryone does 180's. Sometimes you have to do what you need to do to get elected. Look how many 180's Bush has.\n\nIt is what is in her heart that counts, and she is no thief!\n\nI don't like her stand on Iraq. She might change her mind. People are allowed to do that!!

i'm voting for Stewart/Colbert in '08!!\n\nafter the mockery of the last few elections, i just might write that in. and as far as who's going to be the next president, there really arent any good candidates yet on either side.

Today she was in Lou Dobbs  - I had to switch the TV off. I cannot stand her. Basically she avoids all the questions that Republicans are not happy to answer. She is not making any progressive shut-up, she talks in her high pitch voice and blabber things which are not at all related. I consider her to be in the group of rich Republican who just make the hard working real conservatives stupid.\n\nI accept her point that it is wrong to use dead people to push political agenda as liberals are doing - it is great to use that for pushing for Iraq war!\n\nIt is easy to harp on democrats and liberal policies since democrats are an umbrella group for 100's of wide ranging political interest groups starting from gay-lesbian groups to environmentalists. Some of the stance taken by liberals are out of main-stream America but saying that every left-leaning person as godless is a big stretch. 90% of the liberals stands for the following and nothing more:\n1. Good fiscal policy that can stop these huge deficits\n2. Help for the working men and women for whom it is getting harder every year to survive\n3. Keep the medical cost in check\n4. Stopping arrogant foriegn policy\nAnything beyond this is an aberration - some groups would like to push their agenda through Democratic forum but it is never gonna succeed.

Yes I would vote for her. Only because she is a Democrat and very smart. No she will not run for president. Read her book living History. In that book she tells how she has all the power she needs and wants in the Senate.

No, because she is likely to run for President and therefore cut her term as a representative of NY short. She's not done much for them - she's spent most of her term justifying her husband's presidency, selling their books, and keeping her name in the national news. I really don't understand why they would re-elect her.

Well it would be nice for us to join this century and finally vote in someone who is not male (someone non-white and non-Christian someday would be nice too).\nI am torn about supporting her though, she has moved so far to the right to try to have more appeal that she is losing her support on the left.  I will not vote for someone just because of her gender, I have to believe in her too.\n\nShe does have a good stance on women's issues and education (she's pro-choice, safe access to unbiased counseling and she is working on reducing abortions by making Emergency Contraception more available).\nHowever, she's conservative on Immigration\n\nI've linked to her issues (see below).

A woman as president? let see England hasn't done too bad. If a good woman ran I would vote for her. Any person that is capable of moving the country forward deserves the chance. As for all the people that are condemning Bush, DID YOU VOTE??! because if you didn't you have no right to complain.

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.

No ,  I'm not buying it............\nWhy she doing it?  January isn't here yet \n\nThen the nice girl BS will vanish and all those swing voters (moderates & conservatives of both parties that thought they would show the republicans or bought into the dems might have a plan - just not telling anyone about it theory or the everyone hate Bush theory)  will get to see what they elected in true color.

Sure is a Lame Duck isn't she! I wouldn't even know that Bush was married, she is a ghost isn't she, and I totally agree with you on that thought. Laura isn't any Elenore Roosevelt, or even Betty Ford, and as far as Hillary Clinton, she followed in Elenore Roosevelt's shoes and stayed with the fight for freedom. I think Hillary Clinton will make a good President just like her husband. America would get a double bonus too with Bill Clinton being Hillary's adviser.

She's building her political resumé in the Senate even as we speak. I think it would be too soon for her. But odder things have happened. Who ever thought a state governor would make a good president (Not the current one, but some others)? And who would have thought an American general with no government experience would be a good, maybe great prez (I refer to Eisenhower).\n\nTruth: There's no formula for what makes a great president. As for electability, that's what her party needs to examine very closely. I doubt that it's there.

Well, I didn't think much of her chances before this issue, but I admit it probably isn't going to help them any.  Frankly, the only reason C. Rice has been mentioned for 2008 is that there is a female breathing down our necks over in the Democrat camp.  \n\nPersonally, I expect to vote Libertarian.  If we need to field a female, we have a good one:  Dr. Mary Ruwart, one very smart lady with enough class to handle any job.

I think the Democrats would be pretty foolish to put Hillary on the ticket.  Like Bob Dole in 1996, she appeals ONLY to her solid base, and nobody outside of that set would vote for her.  She doesn't have the assets of her husband.  Bill is a creative thinker, she is a rote thinker.  Beyond the charm, Bill can actually talk policy details and policy theory.  Hillary can only speak in platitudes (e.g. - "Our children are our future...").  Despite his ambition, Bill comes across as a likeable guy, she comes across as a power-grubbing witch.  Bill seems real, she seems contrived (for instance, the "right" turns she has taken in the Senate).  Her "concern" and "caring" seem false.  For example, several years ago when asked how small businesses would be able to afford "Hillary-Care," she snapped, "I can't be responsible for every under-capitalized business in this country!"  Many snipes such as this will come back to haunt her.  Up to this point, she has never been a national candidate and hasn't had any obligation to explain her role in any scandals.  I'm sure she will have to be forthcoming about how she managed to defy laws of economics, mathematics and the Securities Exchange Commission by trading in cattle futures (and that's just for starters).  Assuming Republican results were tainted by scandal this season, Democrats would be wise to put someone else in the general election.
