Obama's support keeps falling according to polling information. Hillary has a 33% lead over Obama.

She wheels and deals her way to the top. She would be an interesting President. when she tries to talk to the Middle Eastern heads of state. Would she support a strong army? Pull back troops? Make health care mandatory? raise taxes? Would Bill wear a skirt? Surprised they do not bring back that woman president show on NBC.

G Man (Guiliana) would be a formidable opponent. Both are New Yorkers. Right? Oh, Billary is a ARKYORK. Bill could be attorney general.

They ran against each other for the spot that Hillary has now. She was behind in the polls when he had to pull out for personal reasons. Cancer if I remember correctly.

Please not another Clinton or Bush. We don't need more of the same. We need change.

Hillary would not do well with negotiating in nations that dont respect their women like we do. I really dont like listening to her anyway. She seems like a robot with no human emotion. I dont really like any of the candidates but I think Hillary would suck.

Think about this one...IF Hillary wins the election, our country will have been ruled by the same two families for 24 years (28 if she gets two terms).

The Iowa Electronic Market seems to be forecasting that Hillary is a lock.

Interestingly, Romney fares much better in the Iowa Electronic Markets than national polling data.

I don't think that the job requirements specify that you must be a licensed attorney. I think that the President nominates someone for the position and the Senate must confirm.

If memory serves me correct, Bobby Kennedy was the Attorney General in Kennedy's administration. However, Bobby Kennedy was not an attorney.

The question has been asked in the Democratic debates as to how the candidates would utilize Bill. I believe that Hillary's answer is that he would be used as a roving international ambassador.

Frankly it looks like it's going to be another write-in year for me.

I think how Obama does in Iowa will determine things. He is the only one with the financial resources to compete with Hilary (he might actually have more money now I think). If Obama can pull out a clear victory in Iowa, say beat the field by 8 points or more, I think it could propel him to victory (ala Kerry). If Obama doesn't win in Iowa (where there is about a 3-way tie right now) then Hilary is a lock because she has such a lead in every other state and the national polls.

Hillary will probably get the nomination, and I think that is good news if you don't like her. I'm really hoping for it. Giuliani will beat her head to head. Thompson might be able to also.
