Do you think that the Democrats have a better chance with Hilary Clinton running as Vice President?

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.

Neither one as neither could win.  Democrats need to stop running sacrificial lambs for President.  Democrats have shown a marked tendency to offer candidates that have, at best, a marginal chance of gaining majority support, and then they are managed by unbelieveably inept strategists, ala Gore and Kerry campaign handlers.  They must pick someone of substance who will be able to stand up to the heat of a campaign, and not look wimpy next to the likes of John McCain.

If Hillary Clinton runs for President, she will win the Democratic Primary.  There simply aren't any better qualified Democrats who can survive the primaries like Hillary.  Pelosi is unlikely to run at all.  Clinton's real competition within the party will be John Edwards and Barack Obama, if they run.  Clinton in smart though, she's not going to be looking at who is running for the Democrats, but rather what her national chances are.  That means she's paying close attention to these preliminary head-to-head hypothetical polls pitting herself against potential Republican challengers.  If Clinton does run, it will be because she believes that she could defeat John McCain or Rudolph Guiliani in November 2008.  At this point, polls suggest she can't, but that could certainly change between now and then.  Additionally, although McCain has by far the best odds of any candidate to win the '08 race, his odds of surviving the primaries are not as good as those of a hard-liner.  Who's to say who represents the Republican party on the ticket in '08.

Hillary Clinton for the Democrats.\nJohn McCain for the Republicans.\n\nHillary will have a male running mate for VP.\nMcCain will have a female running mate for VP.

Ann Coulter scares me a little bit.\n\nI don't think America's ready for a female presidential candidate UNLESS both of the nominees (speaking Dems/Reps) were women. I think it would be a wise move to have a female VP with a stronger candidate for presidential. Personally, Obama/Clinton would be one of the better combos, although Clinton will divide the US more than any other female Democratic candidate I think. Which is a shame, because I like her.

The best thing the democrats could do to help out the republicans would be to nominate Hilary Clinton for president.  In spite of what you've heard, Middle America is not going to vote for a socialist (it takes a village), alleged bi-sexual, woman for president.  The republican are good at one thing: winning elections. they know better than to nominate a black woman.  I see John McCain running (possibly with Rice as a running mate) and winning against Hilary.  The republicans are good at winning elections, and the democrats are good at making bold social statements and wondering why they can't win.

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.

Absolutely, not only it is possible but very likely.Be ready  for the next election process where Sen. Hillary Rodhman Clinton may be facing Condolece Rice. A little more than half the population are women.

There is a good chance for a few reasons.\n\nMore people who are conservatively-minded vote than people who are liberally-minded. An example of this is how I believe around 80% of this country are pro-choice pretty much spread evenly in every state, yet because of Montana, 8 states are trying to make abortion illegal.\n\nAlso, the problem with the democratic party is that they are no longer democrats. In many aspects, they have become liberal republicans in an attempt to swing moderate republicans to the democratic side. This means those who vote democrat aren't even represented, so they don't bother to vote. Unless the next democratic candidate takes a polarized stance in contrast to the republicans, they will loose too many votes from their base (as John Kerry did). Also, no republican will swing because they will simply vote for the more authentic version of their party rather than a compromising democrat.\n\nLastly, the democratic party has to be more vocal. Aside from the fact Hillary Clinton seems quite hypocritical these days, she at least deserves credit for being vocal and visible. Bush won his elecetions off emotions not facts, and at least Clinton gets it that most voters are not educated and can be induced to vote based on superficial appearances and emotions, not facts which put the uneducated masses to sleep. This is again why JOhn Kerry lost, see all the debates where he qouted statistics and Bush just kept saying the same stupid rhetoric.\n\nAnd then there is the final point - until K street lobbyists are given a nice collar and there is campaign finance reform included more transparency in the government action and finance, it does not matter much who is elected because they will be the same puppets of the corporations anyways.

An answer from the "right wing," which won't be too sarcastic.\n\nFace it, Hillary can't win.  If you want to bring Republicans back from the brink, nominate her.\n\nFeingold has a chance, but Reid doesn't have a prayer (the guy is an empty suit).  You also have no chance if you nominate the last two losers - Gore or Kerry.  Obama, despite being the rising star, is not well known enough.\n\nDespite what people think, sitting members of Congress do not normally get elected President.  There have only been 3 in American history - Garfield, Harding, and Kennedy.  Students of history already know what else those 3 had in common.\n\nThe recruiting ground is typically the governors, and the only one I see for the Democrats that really has the name recognition is Bill Richardson of New Mexico.  Pairing him, a pretty moderate guy, with someone like an Evan Bayh coming from a state that the Democrats don't normally carry, could be a winning ticket, especially if the GOP nominates a loser like Bill Frist (which I don't see happening).\n\nRight now, there is a real dearth on both sides of the aisle of people that look Presidential.  It may just be that these are all Baby Boomers, the generation that doesn't know how to lead.\n\nAnd sorry to tell one of the people above me, but Bill Clinton cannot be nominated for VP.  Since he is disqualified from being President again, he cannot serve as VP.

I'm a yellow dog Democrat;  I'll vote for  a yellow dog before I'll vote for a Republican.  But Hillary's nomination is a problem.  Not because I don't like her - I think she's smart and could do a good job. It's because, as you say, she's hated by so many people.  I'm afraid Falwell, for once in his miserable life, may be right:  shoe would galvanize and energize opposition like no other major candidate.  \nSo, on the whole, if the Democratic Party wants to regain the Whit House, Senator Clinton is not the way.

Yeah, I'm in, kind of... but everybody seems to be worried about Hillary. Why worry about her? If the first two men in line for president fail, guess what? Nancy Pelosi gets to be president. She is more likely to get there than Hillary.

Democrats: Hilary looks geared up to run, and she''l have a pretty hefty coffer to run with. Feingold won't make it all the way because he leans too far left. Kerry ran and lost - I don't think he'll get another shot at it. And although Edwards ran with Kerry, he wasn't at the top of the ticket. Ultimately - I think it'll be John Edwards. He might seem like a dark horse now, but both Clinton and Bush didn't start pulling ahead of the pack until they were in the primaries.\nRepublicans are trickier. It depends on how the war's going. If it starts to go well (doubtful), they'll pick someone pretty  conservative. Implying that he will continue where Bush left off. If there's no progress, we haven't pulled out, or worse yet it actually starts to really go downhill, they'll probably pick someone more moderate, like John McCain. He was actually doing well against Bush in the first election. Until Karl Rove stepped in.\nI'd like to see them nominate Condaleeza Rice. Wouldn't that be something. Republicans voting for a black woman.\nUltimately - we may not have yet even heard of the people who will be running.

I think that Obama is very smart, atractive and has caused enough of a stir to make him a viable candidate. He might have a tough time getting the nomination against Hillary Clinton due to her money raising ability.  I also like Joe Biden the senior senator from Deleware. He has a vast experience in foreign relations which is something we need at this time.

Too early to say - if she gets Democrat party nomination she stands a good chance
