<p>Suna, I think it’s strong, intelligent women who “hate” her most. Women who believe what she took from her husband demeaned her.</p>
<p>She is one of the most powerful women in the world today.</p>
<p>I think young women think about being demeaned by their husbands. Those with a sense of self can separate from their husband’s behavior, and realize it is no reflection on them.</p>
<p>“Suna, I think it’s strong, intelligent women who “hate” her most. Women who believe what she took from her husband demeaned her.”</p>
<p>Or women who think that it is offensive that she got to be a credible candidate because of her marriage, rather than her own accomplishments. That’s the antithesis of a woman breaking through the glass ceiling on her own.</p>
<p>I think she became senator of New York, probably our most powerful state, all by herself. She shmoozed her way into power. Who did she defeat?</p>
<p>Her many accomplishments have already been stated. How many women do you know with Yale Law Degrees?</p>
<p>zoosermom - you have something there. Would Hillary be a presidential candidate if her husband was not Bill? Granted, she’d be a Wellesley/Yale educated successful attorney (with some shady dealings in her own past btw). However, would she ever have been elected senator for a state in which she has never lived - with no political experience of her own? Would she be running for president now? Other women who have MUCH more experience, who have been long-term well-like governors or senators, are not running. Without Bill, Hillary is just a shrill smart lawyer.</p>
<p>I consider myself liberal, and am, like most CCers, well educated. I don’t have a personal problem w/ Hillary. So why don’t I prefer her for the nomination? First, too many people hate her, including friends more liberal than I am. Although I don’t understand this, it is real, it is lasting and it is disturbing. </p>
<p>After George W. Bush, we simply don’t need to elect a president who will start out hated by vast numbers of Americans. That just isn’t right for our country.</p>
<p>Additionally, I wonder about Bill’s behavior. . . and I wonder how a vice-president would work with/around two Clintons. I think Hillary might be too beholden to special interests. And I fear she could be secretive a la Richard Nixon. </p>
<p>Still, I admire her abilities and accomplishments and I’m proud she’s part of my generation.</p>
<p>What, became Senator by herself, are you serious!! Read the recent Vanity Fair article that explains when he was supposed to be raising money for Gore’s election, he was raising money, in every stat,e for Hillary. The Gore’s hate the Clintons. </p>
<p>In my book that a strong, intelligent woman who stays with a man who cheats on her over and over could not get my vote.</p>
<p>Bring back Gore!</p>
<p>In my opinion, Hillary gives one the impression that she will do anything to gain power for herself. </p>
<p>Many believe that she became Senator in NY because of the notoriety (good and bad) associated with her husband and his name. </p>
<p>Many I have talked to recently agree that she just doesn’t appear to be sincere or completely honest about many issues. She seems to shed her skin when it suits her needs at any time. </p>
<p>These qualities have nothing at all to do with her gender.</p>
<p>Vanity Fair? Isn’t that the same genre as Enquirer?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Gore doesn’t want to be brought back.</p>
<p>Do a reality check. Gore isn’t running for President.</p>
<p>Adults really don’t care (other than bored busybodies) who is</p>
<p>doing it with whom. Don’t we have better things to think </p>
<p>about? I sure do!</p>
<p>
If Hillary ends up in the White House, would Bill actually live there as well abd if so, what would he do?</p>
<p>He is going to be an ambassador. Haven’t you heard?</p>
<p>Yes, the Clintons taught him his environmental and foreign relations work was more rewarding and a better fit for a principled man.</p>
<p>4 more years of those 2 is the last thing we need!</p>
<p>IMO Hillary is smart, hardworking and would probably do an excellent job as president if elected.</p>
<p>But she is NOT warm-fuzzy, humorous, or inspirational and comes off as a hypocrite. She is hated by the right for being Bill’s wife and for being too liberal. She is hated by the left despite being Bill’s wife, because she has abandoned liberal causes become conservative. </p>
<p>That is why I think she will not get nominated, and if nominated, she will not get elected.</p>
<p>“How many women do you know with Yale Law Degrees?”</p>
<p>Scores. I work in BigLaw.</p>
<p>Hillary, from Arkansas and Illinois would not have been a candidate for senate from my state had her husband not been President. Had she not been senator from my state, she wouldn’t be running for president. See the connection?</p>
<p>“After George W. Bush, we simply don’t need to elect a president who will start out hated by vast numbers of Americans. That just isn’t right for our country”</p>
<p>That is very, very wise.</p>
<p>No, no VF is quality reading right down to the Dunne who done its!</p>
<p>Hillary is a well educated fake who doesn’t have the likability that got her equally sleezy husband elected.</p>
<p>Yes Zoosemom, hearing that connnection loud and clear here in CA.</p>
<p>So who will be president? Huckabee doesn’t look like one which I think will be a problem. Romney has many of Kerry’s problems.</p>
<p>Will Edwards really have a love child and be out?</p>
<p>Will America rally behind a Black man?</p>
<p>Zoosermom, no I don’t see any of the connections you do. But at least you aren’t continuing with your sexual harassment nonsense.</p>
<p>Don’t assume scores of Americans hate Hillary. You have proven repeatedly that you slant your views to suit your reality.</p>
<p>Scores of Americans hated Bush and had no problem with him stealing the last two elections.</p>
<p>Of course she won’t get elected. Diebold has all the voting machines rigged. No Democrat will.</p>
<p>Only a bigot would refer to Obama as a Black man.</p>
<p>Dirty politics talking about Edward’s and a love child! From which supermarket rag did you get that?</p>
<p>Republican, right?</p>
<p>I think that America will rally around a black man and if Obama can put together a few victories, I think Big Mo will join his campaign. I don’t think Huckabee can get the nomination, I don’t think Romney can win. My theory du jour is that we’ll have a McCain/Giuliani ticket with McCain vowing to serve one term if elected.</p>
<p>I’ll let you know what tomorrow’s theory is.</p>
<p>
A little over the top - don’t you think?</p>
