<p>So I was reading people magazine online about the 15 questions they askd Bill. I thought this was interesting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>SO in other words no answer…I wonder if he is playing MO’s game when she was asked if she would vote for Hillary and said she had to think about it.<br>
Add that to Geraldine Ferraro saying I am going to follow MO’s lead and think about it long and hard if Obama gets the nom. </p>
<p>Here’s my guess, she is going to follow her supporters, if her internal polling says that her followers want her to run as an Independent she going to run for it, and then my guess is she will be President…because the dem party will be fractured, the dem swing voters will not swing to McCain, thus leaving her standing in the sun!</p>
<p>She’ll do what will benefit Hillary Clinton the most. Exactly what she’s done since morphing from a Republican into a communist, and whatever ranges between the two opposites since then. </p>
<p>Expect the worst from a Clinton, and he or she will never disappoint.</p>
<p>If she runs as an independent and completely splits the dem vote guess who will be president - McCain</p>
<p>Hillary herself said it would be an enormous mistake for her supporters to not vote for Obama if he is the nominee. I think she needs to get the old duck tape out again and use it on Bill.</p>
<p>You are correct she will do whatever benefits her the most. It’s interesting how people talk about GW’s political machine, but hers is not too shabby either!</p>
<p>I am laying odds down now, if her internal polling in June shows that her supporters want her to stay, she will use her own money and go I. She won the big ticket states against Obama and if you use the rationale that she will be able to keep them as an independent and not do a Ross Perot, she will win CA, PA, NY, probably OH, TX and MI…that puts her at 191 if she can take WV and KY, 197 if she pulls ARK.</p>
<p>Sorry swimcat, but if she carries the states that she won and can keep them McCain has a harder chance of winning. Remember most political pundits state that had Perot never run in 92, Bush I would have had a second term since Perot took 20% of the vote. My US history escapes me now of the President who won due to this exact scenario, I do recall it was in the 1800’s</p>
<p>False. Pure mythology. Pat Buchanan and Al Gore gave us GWB. Pat Buchanan directly - my mother and stepfather were among the hundreds of voters in Broward County who thought they were voting for Al Gore, but actually voted for Buchanan as a result of the arrangement of the ballot. Buchanan said so directly - he didn’t expect he’d get more than 5 votes in this 95% Jewish area of Broward County. Gore gave us GWB because he was likely the weakest Democratic candidate, given the overwhelming odds in his favor, since Jimmy Carter.</p>
<p>I don’t know ANYONE who voted for Ralph Nader who would have voted for Al Gore (and I travel in those circles).</p>
<p>Do you think she is ready to walk away? Do you believe she would be willing to become VP if polling numbers showed she had a chance as a 3rd party candidate. This is woman who saw Al Gore never become President, the failed 3rd term Clinton presidency. Do you think she believes being a VP is worth not trying to become President?</p>
<p>The AA community essentially kicked Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton out of the Democratic Party for their alleged racism. I don’t expect any Democrats to want their support on the campaign trail.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton will not run as an independent. If she can’t win the nomination (and it’s doesn’t look good for her) she’ll suck it up and campaign for Obama. She’s not a Perot or a Nader.</p>
<p>That’s not dumb, although it does describe Clinton as one of the most selfish people in the history of American politics. The idea that Hillary could possibly win as an Independent is. McCain would win the presidency in the largest landslide in DECADES.</p>
<p>Do you think Hillary will campaign for Obama if doesn’t “pick” the Clinton tribe as running mates? </p>
<p>Fwiw, this has been an interesting campaign leading to ambivalent feelings.</p>
<p>While I cannot wait for Hillary’s abdication speech and watch how she’ll subject the country to another sirupy and disgusting display of hypocrisy, I really hope she continues to undermine the Democrat Party’s chances all the way to the bitter end. I am rooting for her supporters to transform the May 31 meeting and the DNC convention in a total circus. Only thing missing would be another Dean Scream.</p>
<p>I also would love to see the “Dream Ticket” of Obama/Clinton/Clinton, but this would mean more months of seeing that HRH’s fake smile on the Communist National Network. Ditto for running as an Independent.</p>
<p>What a fun ride this has been for a Clinton hater. :)</p>
<p>I’m sure it has been, Xiggi, but what I can’t figure out is why a young man like yourself is rooting for the part of debt and fear to have an opportunity to mortgage even more of your future than they already have. That “beast” they’re starving is going to be feeding off of you before long, you know.</p>
<p>Kluge, when facing two choices, we have few options but pick the lesser evil. In this case, one could be a mighty evil is still be much better than Hillary Clinton. </p>
<p>It has been very unfortunate that our government has shown no ability whatsoever to redress its own ineptitude, especially during the past 20 years. However, there is no doubt that “returning” to a government led by Hillary will be the absolute worst situation for our country as we would move into another cycle of polarizing politics and pure obstructionism by the minority party. It would merely be a deja vu of the Pelosi, Reid, and Clinton circus but from the other side of the aisle. The quicker our country will be able to move away from that breed of politicians the better we will be. </p>
<p>Obviously, John McCain is not exactly an answer to all our prayers as he is no less of a member of the geriatric DC crowd. This leaves us with Obama whose greatest attribute is to be an unknown entity who might be able to rally the country behind new ideas. </p>
<p>All in all, the real shame for our country is that “we” cannot find ANYONE better than those three (or two) among 300,000,000 of us. The only consolation is that we have (or will shortly) averted the true disasters that Gore, Kerry, and Clinton III administrations would have meant. And considering where we are today, it’s hard to phantom it could have been worse.</p>
<p>who needs bill clinton and Hillary when we can win election without their support. We will win this election due to high gas prices and troublein economy. Republicans will be wiped out. If gas prices remain high, people will blame Republicans. That will be end of republicans and Clintons. Morepower to Obama who sure will negotiate tomake sure Gas prices are lower in his time. This is a win win situation for Democracts and OBama</p>
<p>The Democratic Party has made it quite clear that they do not feel they need Clinton supporters or working class white voters to win in November. We’ll see how that works out for them.</p>
