Im not quite convinced of her votability yet, though the ease she had in winning a Senate seat in New York despite knowing nothing of the state's problems and character first hand (I remember watching the news during her "listening tour", easily the most ridiculous crap Ive ever seen) worries me. Im sure she will trumpet all sorts of new spending programs and shit to try to convince people to vote for her.Quote:

One thing that really bothers me about her running for pres is that it really seems like she has been planning for this for one or two decades now. On her way to achieving this goal I cannot think of anything specific that she has done that has really been positive for anyone (these things could be out there, hence the thread).
Not leaving Bill and running for senate in a state she has never lived in both seem like they were done purely to get political power later.
I don't think someone like that would make a good president. It makes her come off as power/glory hungry.

Can't the democrats just pick a random celebrity like the republicans do? You know Michael Douglas would totally win in a landslide.
Anyone running for President is the afforementioned, really no way to get around that. A pure idealist in the White House? Not very likely.Quote:

But she staid with him. What kind of strong woman stays with a person who turns their mariage into a national joke?Quote:

Cheating doesn't necessarily destory a marriage, she could still be deeply in love with him, who knows?Quote:
