hmmmm .... I wonder how the women will vote.

At first I thought she didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell, but if the women come out in force, then that could change things.

Yet another horrible candidate from the dems. And the dems wonder why the republicans have won recently.

I think Obama will beat her in the primaries.

I like him. But he's got two things going against him:
1. His name rhymes with "Osama"
2. His middle name is "Hussein"

She's been talking a lot about growing up middle class in middle america. Probably 'cause she knows that region is where she's weakest right now. I can't see her winning but if she did that'd be crazy to think we went Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton...then just watch, Jeb be next.

IMO, Edwards is the front runner if he wants it. Has he declared?

Yes

Her best asset by far is Bill. Don't underestimate his impact when he gets out there and campaigns for her.

Yep. According to this study The Lovenstein Institute - Scranton, PA Bill has the highest IQ of any US President!*




*that study was apparently a hoax

I don't think he will run against the Clintons which is what he would be doing. I also read that he has alot in is past which has not been really talked about.

Here's an article that kind of addresses that very subject. How her campaign handles Bill will be interesting to see. If he stands on stage next to her, he kind of steals the spotlight. If he goes out and campaigns separately from her, it seems like he's running for a third term. And if he lays low, people start wondering what's going on with their marriage. I'm sure they can work through that stuff. But Obama has one distinct advantage: he wasn't in Congress when the US invaded Iraq. Hilary is on record supporting the invasion at the time; Obama's not. She'll have to reckon with the far left side of her party in the primaries over that issue.

In the primaries, probably. But hold an election between Edwards, Clinton, & Obama and I bet Edwards would come out on top when including more than just those who vote in the Democratic primaries.

:confused:

He is running against her. I guess you didn't hear that he announced his intention to run for president?
