From the poll here, most would not vote for her. I would like to see Rice elected.




Now you're talking.... :hail:

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.

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.

Not going to happen any time in the forseeable future. It conflicts very much with our concept of one person, one vote.

I rarely hear or read that phrase. However, I read it once on the boards last night (your comment), and it was mentioned last night while I was watching Tavis Smiley.

Interesting coincidence. :)

Hmm, from the results of this poll, I can only hope and pray that the Democrats run Hillary in '08.

Doc,

Meaning that you'd like to see her run and lose, or something else?

This poll really isn't representative of what the actual vote would look like.

The majority of people who regularly post in this forum now, lean to the right politically (i.e. less likely to vote for her anyway).

All we can say about our poll, is a majority of Sister Trek members wouldn't vote for her.

Franko,

Yes, I do. Also I would get an enormous buzz if Condi were to become president. A black female president. Of the USA.

Priceless.

With McCain as her running mate. Or McCain/Rice.

Now that's an attractive ticket, even for people well-rooted in the Liberal center.


IMO.

I'm sure this will put an ADCAP into any possible candidacy of Hillary Clinton:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...3428700-2346224

The book is titled: The Survivor : Bill Clinton in the White House

Here's a heads-up with some quotes (found on Drudge):

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON MAY 30, 2005 17:01:22 ET XXXXX

NEW CLINTON BOOK: THE LIES, THE FIGHTS, THE INSULTS

**Exclusive**

Summer starts with a bang as veteran WASHINGTON POST reporter John Harris traces the emotional highs and lows of the Clinton presidency.

THE SURVIVOR: BILL CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE drops this week from RANDOM [the book ranked #9,527 on AMAZON's sales parade Monday afternoon], but the DRUDGE REPORT can now sneak:

--Bill Clinton was so upset that his weight-loss regimen in 2000 was not working that he made his aides release a bogus number after his annual Navy physical to make him five pounds lighter. (pg. 394)

--Hillary taunted her husband's aides as being wimps by not fighting hard enough on Whitewater - "JFK had real men in his White House!" (pg. 108)

--Tipper Gore was so disgusted in 2000 with Bill and Hillary that she stayed cloistered in a holding room instead of going to a New York reception with major Democratic fund-raisers where the Clintons would be. "No, I'm not doing it," she snapped to an aide. "I'm not going out there with that man."

--The first conversation between Clinton and Gore after the Lewinsky story broke. Clinton is shouting at Gore, "This is a fucking coup d'etat!" Gore just stared back blankly. pg 313.

--Former White House counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke on the record hitting Clinton for not having the guts to fire FBI director Louis Freeh, who Clarke called a major obstacle on anti-terrorism policy. "He should have just fired Freeh and taken the shit it would have caused." (pg. 408)

The POST plans two jumbos on Tuesday, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

One story from Harris will outline Hillary Clinton's presidential preparations.

Swearing Steaming Screaming -- White House as Hot House

From pages 356-7 of THE SURVIVOR: BILL CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE by John F. Harris, national correspondent for the WASHINGTON POST:

Context is Sally Quinn's article from 11/98 explaining why the Washington Establishment was appalled by Clinton's behavior during Lewinksy.

Some time afterward the president was going over papers with his staff on the upcoming Presidential Medal of Freedom awards. Spontaneously, he launched into a little riff for his assembled aides. His nominee for the prestigious award this year would be none other than the famous [Watergate editor] Ben Bradlee, husband of Sally Quinn.

The aides looked on in puzzled amusement.

"Anyone who sleeps with that bitch deserves a medal!" he explained.

Yes, McCain running would change things for me.

I wish McCain would leave the Republican Party and register as an Independent. If he did that, we would see the emergance of a third party that could actually rival the Rep/Dem. parties. At least I think that is what would happen.

For me, McCain wouldn't even have to leave the Republican party for me to vote for him. It would be idealistic but I don't think that would happen. I'd vote for him anyway, any day over Rice, if she chose to run and if there were no viable candidate from the Democratic party.

Hillary Clinton, at this moment in time, doesn't seem to be a viable candidate to me.

Things could change though.

Still waiting for that knight in shining armor.

Noah,

It is not easy to get impartial sources--assuming that they even exist. I've tried, and it's difficult.

Given that it's the SAME source as about 50% of the threads in this forum, I'll remember your comment for the future.
