Poll majority says likely to vote for Clinton; Hillary Clinton that is...

The difference between governor and senator is that one has to work with the rest of Congress. I guess I think she's more qualified than our current leader, but that's not saying much. :P ;)

That displays your ignorance of the Texas government. The Governer can do nothing, BUT work with the legislature. And GWB did a heck of a lot of that.

I would not vote for Hillary Clinton for the fact that she is far too liberal for me politically speaking.

That's about 10% of it for me. The other 90% or so has to do with my perception of her character.

She is a Political moderate- not the sterotyped liberal that people make her out to be. If she does run, I definatly will vote for her. (and that would be the first election where I would be able to vote)

But, I could go for somone more liberal, but she would represent me well. The only problem with electing her would be the people who don't tune into the election until labor day, because they would be voting on the carton stereotype from the First Lady years, which would make things that much more difficult to win.

But if McCain is the GOP canidate, it's a win-win for both sides as they are both moderates adn would be close in policy whoever wins.

Hillary Clinton is not a moderate by any US definition. She may be a moderate in Vietnam, Cuba or North Korea, but not in the USA.

I would never vote for Clinton, I don’t like her personality, or her demeanor, I don’t like her audited and I don’t like how she swooped in form no where and acted like she had been living in my state all her life just because New York was the first big liberal state on the ticket at the time. I regret she had to run against a political no one compared to her stature, who could never live up to her fame.

I also don’t see eye to eye with her on many issues, but the above is why I would never vote for her.

As my dad says, they should tape her up and send her back to Akensaw, where she belongs. That comes from another New Yorker. Genolonie wouldn't run rings around her.

I think we can find a better "first woman" president then her.

I agree, like one that would send her husband packing for cheating on her. Instead of publicly showing that its ok when men to treat their wives like that.

The Hillary health care scheme (pronounce scam) scared the hell out of me. I kept imagining have to go to the equivolent of the Post Office when I or my family is sick or injured and dealing with some mindless zombie of a bureaucrat.

24, don't think that if McCain ran for President as an independent, that we would see the rise of a viable third party.
We're a LONG way from seeing anything like that happen.
The two major parties have too much invested in maintaining the status quo for either of them to allow a third to solidify and and become a true force in government.
For one thing, the rise of such a party would reveal the phoniness of the Republicans and Democrats, as well as exposing the fact that their really isn't much substantial difference between them.
And I have to ask Noah:
What makes you believe that Hillary is qualified to President? I don't think she was even legitimately qualified to be a senator.

I admit it, it was a little wishful thinking. :lol: I am ready for a really good third party to bust onto the scene. It will take an exceptional candidate to launch it though. Then it will take many years to build up a membership/support.

I really don't see myself supporting her. I also think that she has a long way to go yet in proving she is deserving of votes. In other words, it's still a bit too early to tell, and way to early to call her the frontrunner, possibly for Democrats alone, but not overall. I do not believe that anyone qualifies for that standing at this point.

The last time that happened, it was Abe Lincoln and the Republican Party. The party rose in a relatively short period of time, gaining seats in Congress before being able to make a real run for the White House.

One way to encourage it would be to change the voting system for the Congress. By going to some kind of proportional system it would make it far easier for a third party to appear and, to steal a phrase, break the two party mold of US politics.
