I figure you guys have something to say about this. As announced on her website. If the comments get too out of control, this post will explode.

    I’ll admit that I don’t know a ton about her personal stances on various issues, but having said that, I generally like her. It’ll be tough though to choose between her, Obama, and Edwards.

  2. chad says:

    g’luck Hillary …. my vote will be for Obama ….

  3. Matt says:

    hmmmm…. no. Just no… Never happen, ever!

  4. ClunkClunk says:

    As much as I’d like to see a woman in the presidency sometime in my life, I hope she doesn’t get much support for 2008, simply because they need the best possible chance to ensure we don’t get another Republican in office. This could easily turn in to another lost election because of people’s irrational fears. First it was terrorism, now it’ll be feminism.

  5. Adam Potts says:

    Bush->Clinton->Bush->Clinton? No thanks. Obama’s got my vote.

  6. worfosaur says:

    Um…ok. I’d prefer to not have another Clinton in the White House.

    Early voting without all the candidates…I pick Mitt Romney.

  7. Eric Cranston says:

    I don’t like her. But I know nothing about her other then when on tv she annoys me.

    Obama sounds good though.

  8. Jerry says:

    Who’s the Republican? Cheney can’t take the stress to the heart…

    With Bush at a major low, it could be a win-by-default for whatever Dem makes it… Woah.

  9. Dogcow says:

    “With Bush at a major low, it could be a win-by-default for whatever Dem makes it… Woah.”

    I’ve heard that before…

    Have you no shame woman?

    Your husband was caught receiving head in office. Do you really want to keep hanging around that place. We sure don’t want you to either.

    Hilary must be wanting to pay ol’ Bill back. Headlines read: (no pun intended) “Another Clinton in office, another intern sexually exploited”

  11. Mick says:

    no way vote Obama !

  12. Matt H says:

    If she takes the presidency, might be time to move to Canada.

  13. Don Wilson says:

    There are so many quick one-liners that I could do about her thinking that she’ll win, but it’s not necessary.

    My vote is for Giuliani. I’ll give Obama a little time to prove himself.

  14. annon says:

    Will Obama Find Osama?

  15. Dan Ridley says:

    I’d definitely vote for Hillary if she’s the candidate, but my primary vote will go to Obama. Hillary doesn’t get tech at all, and she doesn’t have a balanced view of issues that matter to geeks — DRM, video game violence, net neutrality. I also don’t trust that she has enough dedication to the environmental issues facing us, although the elimination-of-foreign-oil problem push her policies in that direction.

    The only reason I’d be concerned about her electability is the fact that she voted for the war.That may well come back to bite her, hard, in the campaign.

    She’d make a great veep on Obama’s ticket, though.

  16. Ann says:

    Just like an icebreaker, the first woman president is going to have to be extraordinarily tough just to push her way through the various barriers she’ll encounter. Hillary is a necessary step to making way for more female candidates in the future. I like Obama a lot too, but he’s young and there is no hurry. He’s not going anywhere and it’s nice to have a candidate lined up for 8 years from now and clearly he’d make a great VP candidate on Hillary’s ticket. I worry that he doesn’t have enough experience – it isn’t enough that we like the candidates as people. We need to elect someone with the skills required to administer this country. I believe Hillary is the only candidate with those skills and experience. She isn’t universally popular, but she’s proven to be resilient in adversity and tough as nails. Also: I think Bill Clinton is the only man in the world with the self-confidence to initiate the role of First Gentleman. Having had his turn, he’s likely to check his own ego at the door and serve the presidency, finding useful ways to contribute without trying to take over or pout in the corner at taking a back seat to his wife. Finally, I think Hillary has the superior political machine in place. Staff, fundraising, support. She is the most electable at this point IMO. If you want to see a woman president – an ideal woman president – at some point in the future – I believe the best way is to elect Hillary as ice breaker.

  17. JJ says:

    Just don’t choose any screw up as you have done two times in a row already… Whoever your next president will be, he/she has a huge amount of work to do to get even some of that respect back that has been lost during Bush administration.
    If you haven’t figured out it yet, no one really likes you…

  18. Paul says:

    Well I think Hillary is a very strong candidate, despite reading all of the posts on here I think she has a very good shot at getting into the white house. After Bush being in for so long and well just messing things up completely they really need somebody to take charge again and take the US to new highs again. Similar to the ones enjoyed in the mid 90’s and early 80’s.

    I think she has a very good shot at it, another interesting thing is how many people will vote for her because she is a female. After all she would be the first female president if she gets elected.

  19. Mark says:

    If that woman wins, I’m moving to Canada or Australia , or some other english speaking country. I will also surrender my American citizenship.
    THAT is how much i despise that woman.

  20. Ryan says:

    while i dislike many things about hillary, i recognize the fundamental importance of making bill our first lady… so you know where my vote will be placed in ‘08 ;-)

  21. Roy says:

    I like the Republicans, and anyone who runs against a Clinton.

  22. SMASH!!!! says:

    i do not want a women president but i also dont want a black president

    im not racist im just saying it liek this…. if its a black guy he will be assassinated … theres way to many hate groups in the country for him not to be… i did a paper on this in school cuz i almost got kicked out of school for sayin gthis in a class… then to stay in school i had to write a report on why i feel that way .. so i did and i owed everyone … sad but true if you don tknow me and read it you would thing i was a racist scumguck…and that im not im not my brother is black and i love him to death but there are facts in life that are not allways a positieve thing that have to be acedpted and ths is on of them…

  23. Jeffrey says:

    SMASH:
    i respect your “non-biased” opinion, but don’t you think there’s people out there that hate our current president enough to assassinate him?

  24. Ravi says:

    ANN…I agree with you. Maybe we can get out of debt, and have more jobs, and keep our people in our country instead of shipping them out in some other country to save someone elses freedom by giving up ours.

  25. Matt W says:

    Shit I just noticed this about Obama……..

    Full name: Barack Hussein Obama

    His middle name is the same as Saddam’s last, and is last name is one letter different than Osama’s.

    That’s just wierd. Hilary, as much I don’t think you’re the best person for the position, at least your name doesn’t remind me of 2 different terrorists.
