Hillary registered for 08 campaign

ShangriLaTroubl · #1 12-19-2005, 02:19 PM

I got this info from a PAC www.votehillary.org who is supporting a Hillary 08 run for President.

The messaged contained this info :

"Recently, the Hillary Clinton for President Committee registered with the Federal Election Commission, and we want to show everyone that this is a serious campaign for the future of our country. "

YAY!!!!

She rocks my world!

She's pandering too much to the right these days. She's wrong on the war, sponsored an anti flag-burning bill, etc.

I'm ready to vote for a woman with consistent principles. Run Boxer Run!

I like Hil, but I think it's way too soon for her to run. She needs to stay in the Senate a bit longer, get more experience.

It would be great if this confirms her running for president...I really hope she wins too. "President Hillary Clinton" -- just sounds great

It does, but I have to agree with Rickypt: her stance on the war left a bad taste in my mouth so I'm kind of wary of her. Other than that, I've always liked her.

She's been consistent with my views on the war. Believes it was poorly planned, and carried out, but if you just withdraw alltogether immediately you put these people, the citizens in a great danger, with no stability.

Four more years of Republicans: Guaranteed. Hooray!

Stick a fork in the Democratic Party, it's finally done.

She's wrong on just about everything. Any respect I had for her began to dissipate in early 2003. By now, I've got none left for her. Personally, I'm crossing my fingers that if she really does run, she falls flat on her face and loses miserably. It needs to happen.

Lovely website. I was particularly struck by the Joe Biden link on the right-hand side. If Biden and Clinton are the best the Democrats have to offer, they deserve to lose.

I'm sad to say that I don't think we'll have a woman president any time soon (or a minority male, for that matter.)

Red · #11 12-19-2005, 03:08 PM

Is anybody surprised that she'll be running? I kind of thought this was a given.

This country gets in an uproar over a Catholic (Kennedy) and that wasn't too long ago, so, yes, I'm afraid you're right

If Hillary Clinton is the only female candidate to pick from, then she shouldn't be elected president. I supported Braun all the way up until her campaign went belly-up, but she really never stood a snowball's chance in hell. And quite frankly, I'll use Geena Davis as a write-in candidate before I vote for Hillary.

Did you support the war in the first place, as she did?

I think Biden has a much better chance of winning the overall election, but can't get through the primary against Clinton.

I just hope there is a strong, credible candidate from the left during the primary (Barbara Boxer, are you reading this?)
