1. 1. NO! 2. NO. Actually, the questions were more assumptive than unbiased.

4. no and no
i don't want bill clinton back...i like hillary because she has more experience than obama...she's also pretty
tight lipped on what she's promising...while obama is letting his supporters run with the idea that he'll govern from the far left...won't happen...and i know it won't so i wonder why he lets his supporters believe it...he'll go to the center after he gets the nomination
....then the true believers will make excuses for him...after he wins in nov he'll stay mostly in the center and make all the same compromises that every other politician that gets this far has to make....then his supporters will abandon him because he sold out....ya'll ever wonder why the best really committed liberals don't make the cut at a national level....it's because outside of ma the can't get elected

5. Oh, that's so sweeet of you to ask.
1. I don't care about Bill, I never have. I didn't even bother voting for him, that's how much he impressed me. Didn't vote for the other guy, either.

2. Hillary will likely be sending Bill on diplomatic missions to restore better relations with other countries, so he'll stay plenty busy without time for the problems you're "concerned" about. He still gets a lot of respect elsewhere in the world. You know what I'm talking about, where the adults run the show and are more interested in policy than sniffing in all their public officials' crotches.

Bear in mind that Hillary, as POTUS, doesn't want Bill taking away from her status.

7. My honest answers
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 08:37 PM by Politicub
1 - Not really, but I see that as a fringe benefit.

2 - Non sequitur since whoever the dems put forward will create GOP-led "distractions."

Ok attackers - come out of the woodwork :)

9. 1. Absolutely not. I actually think that Hillary has
a more pragmatic head on her shoulders and will make better, more well thought out decisions that he will. I think he will probably be sent out as an ambassador of sorts and he'd be good in a job like this. He is still liked by many people around the world and I think he could play a good part in restoring our relations around the world. Hillary does not strike me at all as the type of woman who would consult with Bill on every little thing. If she bounces off some ideas off of him which I'm sure she would, I don't have a problem with that as he is an intelligent man. But I certainly do not think this would be a back door way of having a 3rd Bill Clinton term. She will be in charge. I have no doubt of that.

2. Sure, the right wingers heads will probably explode knowing he is in the White House again. But then I don't think that should be a reason to stop her from running. And I do think she will be smart enough to keep him busy enough. Plus I really don't see him as a guy who will just want to hang around her all the time. I don't see that happening.

10. I supported Edwards until he pulled out now I support Hilary
primarily because I beilieve she will be closer to Edwards than Obama.

Her base of voters are Middle Class Working Class Democrats.

Obama appears to have gone outside the party, for Republicans
and Independents...more than Democrats.

The Independents and GOP Voters will expect something in return as
well they should.

14. No and no...
We have no template for the spouse of a former president running for the office. As a result, the rules of this game are what we make of it.

Hillary appears to be much better prepared(did her homework)than her competitor. Better organized and has more concrete ideas. No one really knows what 'hope' and 'change' mean. And, more importantly, Obama isn't telling us.

Good question OP.

11. Answers below.
1) I have followed this couple for a long time and wished MANY years ago that Hillary would run instead of Bill. I voted for him twice, knowing I was GETTING HER as an adviser, not the other way around.

2) Hill can shut Bill up easily. Enough said.

12. No and no.
She is one of the toughest candidates I've even seen. You can't knock her down. I've never seen anything like her. I went and heard her speak the other night and was very inspired.

13. 1) No. Im supporting Hillary mainly becuz she is the Goddess of Peace & because she is SO competent
for the job. She just might be even more competent than Bill was, for all we know.

2)Hell yeah, there could be more distractions with Bill in the WH again, so bring those distractions on! Good times again! :evilgrin:
