Should Hillary enter the race?






"I am absolutely ruling it out."

-- Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

According to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, she gets 45% of the Democratic votes, higher than even Clark.

Is it N.O.W. or never? If Bush loses, 2008 is no longer an option.


More Bush Cartoons

1. Freeper flame-bait
The Freepers love to rile their base with the "threat" of a Hillary run. Why do Rove's work?

6. I didn't say IS she running ...
I asked, "Should she run?"

There's a big difference.

(I took grammer so I no what I'm talking about. Is Frazier running for senator? is not the same as Should Frazier run for senator? Were dealing with subfunctive particples here and the like.)

:P

4. without a doubt
Clarke was brought in to stem the tide against Dean. Dean hates McCuallife, and wants him out. Furthermore, if Dean were to win, or Clarke for that matter, Hillary would have to wait 8 more years. Thats why she put the book our recently - testing the waters.

From Yoo-Hoo News:

BILL WANTS HIL TO RUN
Mon Sep 22, 7:11 AM ET

By James Gordon Meek
Daily News Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) is brainstorming a way for Sen. Hillary Clinton (news - web sites) to sidestep her pledge not to run for President in 2004, it was reported yesterday ...

HILLARY DELETES FANS' PREZ-RUN E-MAIL
Sat Sep 20, 4:43 AM ET


By Deborah Orin

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) yesterday abruptly yanked all the run-for-president e-mails off her official Web site in a bid to stop speculation that she's leaving the door open to a 2004 White House bid ...


Clinton denies plans to run, declines to endorse Clark
Thu Sep 25, 6:37 AM ET

Craign Gilbert

Washington

An object of endless and elaborate speculation, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) sat down for breakfast Wednesday with 60 reporters and denied in a half-dozen different ways that she will run for president in 2004 or that she's taking sides in the Democratic nominating fight ...

13. Actually, I think she put out the book....
To make a bit of money. She did quite well--much better than the conservative competition with their bulk-buying supporters.

It appears her short-term plans are to continue as Senator. She may have long-term plans but I doubt she'd encourage another term by Bush to support them. Despite what you hear, she doesn't "hate American" that much.

Of course, I don't "do lunch" with her.

14. MOMMY ME AH!
I asked SHOULD she run, not IS she running?

Don't tell me it depends on what the meaning of "is" is because I said SHOULD.

Whatever happened to "exact words." Now I know how Mr. Brady felt when Greg tried to gild his willy! Not to mention the time Buddy Clinton got his toof knocked out by Peter. I'm going back to watch Nick; I need to escape reality.

51. No, she SHOULD NOT run...
When I still hear shit like CNN being called the "Clinton News Network" and and get Emails reminding me that Monica L. was a lazy slob when it "comes" to going to the dry cleaners.

When I hear people blaming shit that Ray-Guns and Poppy did on Big Dawg (just because that's what Rush told them).

And the RNC starts shit like that "Gold Star Mothers" hoax...

No. I have an admiration for Hillary that probably borders on unhealthy, but no, given that the BFEE and the RW would eat her like a shark feeding frenzy, She wouldn't have a chance.

Shame. I think she'd be good for the country.

Why did you say IMO and not IMHO?

Something in the subconscious, perhaps?

on the hour, plus Whitewater and Travelgate. CNN would run old footage of those "scandals" 24/7. Wouldn't work?? Oh, yes it would, on the 20% nonpolitical voters who fall right into spintraps like that.

30. Leno is a repuke, I think.
But you are right; imagine the media reaction if Hillary did decide to run in 2004... It would suck all the oxygen from the primary races for the other Dems. And that would be best case scenario.

32. Nope, she should serve out her term as senator, proving her cred
The wingnuts would love nothing more than to have another Clinton pincushion to bombard with accusations of dishonesty.

By staying in the senate, she gets another line on her political resume', and can point to a specific promise she kept even though it would have been possible for her to get the Democratic nomination. That can only make her a stronger candidate in the general election.

33. The word is Bill Clinton was putting out feelers
She obviously can't say she wants to run but he can test the waters for her with comments like "they're the two stars of the party." He also said the people would forgive her if she went back on her word. Again, another "feeler."

Hillary will only amount to the repugs to angry action because they hate the Clintons. They will get truckloads of people shipped to precincts to vote againist her. She is too much venom for the Rwingers.
