5. & why would Diebold ES&S & Sequoia Voting systems |
|
let Hillary win in 08.
Why?
Better yet why would Americans throw away hundreds of years of tradition in Electing only male Presidents to vote for a female candidate in 08 and a Liberal Dem no less as far as the red states are concerned.
Oh yeah why in the fuck are all the nascar dads gonna run out & vote for a female democrat for President the Wife of the former President they Loath.
Why?
Enjoy the delusion.

8. Why? I will tell you why..... |
|
The same reason why America broke the tradition in allowing women to vote,blacks to vote,blacks to be de-segregated,women to make the same wages as men,women to join the military and go to war and fight on the front lines,Theres a lot more but I think you get what I am saying.Enjoy change.Enjoy reality.

But given the comparison between Clinton's economy and Bush's economy, I wouldn't have any problem with it if she did.

9. I am reminded of the deal that Reagan and Ford tried to make in 1980. |
|
The deal was to establish a formal co-presidency at the time of the nomination. Of course, it failed.
I think that if Hillary Clinton were POTUS, we would see a co-presidency of formal power, although of informal arrangement. In all likelihood, we would once again have a time when the Vice President is practically invisible.

23. That's fascinating. Can you explain? How formal was plan? |
|
I'm wondering if Bill's pre-health-care plan debacle that he and Hillary were "a twofer" would apply again. One can hope.
Won't Clinton nostalgia accelerate now?

26. The plan was haggled in the back rooms at the convention. |
|
It was only as formal as a serious discussion, weighing the constitutionality of a double-ticket. It was reported on TV enthusiastically.

12. That is the reason she will NEVER be president ... |
|
The impression that Bill will actually be in charge.
I love Hillary, she is my Senator, but she is damaged goods, and will never be elected.

20. I think there is a better chance |
|
of BC getting a third term than Hillary getting elected. Too much baggage, too many people who will vote against her rather than FOR the GOP.
But if she did: I think he would have pillow talk power and that's all. That is provided they are still married.
