I agree with zappa, i think its gonna be a Hilary vs McCain.
I think Hilary will court a lot of conservative votes too, it'll be a narrow election thats for sure.

I would like to vote for McCain but I highly disagree with his flag burning law, and his support for escalating Iraq.

I agree with all of that and because of why you won't vote for McCain, many others won't either which is why, as much as it feels like a chilling dark cloud looming over me, I honestly think Hillary is going to end up our next President.

If Guilani gets the nomination, it will be tight and I think he's the only way the Republicans will have a chance. He'll steal votes away from the Dems if Hilary gets the nomination.

Red,

why do you think Hilary's being a woman is going to make squat difference? She got voted is as a NY Senator. The shock value of seeing women in government is long gone.

There are many women out there, who, men and women alike know darn well have nerves of steal, hearts of ice, eat nails and children for breakfast and the power to rip your balls off,  without flinching, save for the move to light up a Cigar afterwards. Seems some people want to see those characteristics in a Commander in Chief. Who can not picture Hillary in a Sherman tank bulldozing over and blowing up anything that stands in her way? 

She's an easy woman to picture as Comander in Chief, as much as I don't ever want to see her there for other reasons.

I agree with zap about Obama. Just last week, I saw a CNN poll taken for the democratic primaries and Hilary was at 86% and Obama at 14%. He's got a lot of catching up to do. At the most, he may end up her running mate.

People are comfortable with Hillary just because she's been in the public eye for so long on top of being next to Bill who people loved and trusted for some reason. Obama is a strange new face to many Americans and he can't beat that factor he's competing with in the times he's got to do it.

The masses don't follow  this stuff to any great degree. They're too caught up in who will become the next American Idol, not President.

I was watching a show where a 22 year old was asked who the Vice President was. She drew a blank, a long pause of confusion and then said, "is it something like Kunda Rice?"

For shits and giggles you guys start asking random people who the Vice President is when you're out and about.

Name recognition alone builds a sense of trust and familiarity in things. If you're traveling in Morrocco on business, need to grab a quick meal on the fly,  and see only an Olive Garden and Tukanta open, which are you going to eat at?

If Hilary gets in with Obama as her running mate then, I think he'll have a chance in 2012 or 2014.

Here are some funny quotes from Althouse blog on the Clintons.

Have people had enough of the Dynasty approach? Or will shoulder pads, cheesy overacting, and loud hairdos make a comeback?

"Remember that Bill once said that in voting for him for President, we'd also get Hillary for President, "two for the price of one." We will be getting the two-fer back, but they don't want you to think about it."

Well, it recalls the old joke of the married man: what's mine is hers and what's hers is...Hers. When Bill ran, you got Bill with Hillary; when Hillary runs, you get...Hillary.

Im sure that Hillary will win the Presidency because she is a female.
I think that the American people are tired of how men have been running this nation and are ready for a womans touch.

I predict this year is the year when McCain finally gets presidency. It's too bad Obama is so far behind in the polls. I think he'll have a decent chance in 2012 if he stays on track.
