Poll majority say they'd be likely to vote for Clinton
By Susan Page, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — For the first time, a majority of Americans say they are likely to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president in 2008, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday.
Fifty-three percent of poll respondents say they'd probably support Clinton in a run for president.

The survey shows that the New York senator and former first lady has broadened her support nationwide over the past two years, though she still provokes powerful feelings from those who oppose her.

Clinton commands as much strong support — but more strong opposition — as George W. Bush did in a Newsweek poll in November 1998, two years before the 2000 election. She is in slightly stronger position than then-vice president Al Gore, the eventual 2000 Democratic nominee, was in 1998.

"Over time, Clinton fatigue has dissipated ... and people are looking back on the Clinton years more favorably," says Andrew Kohut, director of the non-partisan Pew Research Center. In a Pew poll released this month, Kohut called former president Bill Clinton and the senator "comeback kids" because of their rising ratings.

"This may also reflect that she has been recasting her image as a more moderate person," he says...

Here's another conspiracy theory to throw into this horrible pile...
McCain-Clinton on the Democratic ticket in 2008.

McCain has been tiptoeing around switching parties for years, and his latest "bi-partisan" deal pretty much ensured that Republicans will never let him on their ticket...by switching he could appease all of the Bush-haters (who love nothing better than a traitor to Bush or Republicans) and by putting Clinton on his ticket, could wrap up the feminist vote, as well as all the other "moderate" Americans too dumb to know anything aside from "The War Hero and the Woman" sounds like a neat idea.

I still think that putting Mrs. HillBilly forward as the Candidate would only insure another Republican getting the office. However if they do put her forward, the Republicans should put Dr. Condoleezza Rice forward as their Candidate. This would preclude all the "Are We Ready?" stories that would paint anybody who would vote for the Republican Candidate as NeoCon-Antifeminist-Religio-fascists. It would also gather more black voters to the Republican Party as they got sick and tired of the old "Uncle Tom" stereotyping that would invariably be spit out by the racists on the left.

emigrate or start the revolution. No way in hell I'll take her as President. That would be the WORST mistake the American people could ever make..

That statement sounds really familiar, kinda what libs said about Bush. If you don't believe in our electoral process or the people in our country, even if they just vote for the opposing party, then are you anti-American?

No he would not be. Yes he should stay and fight the power but do you really think that Hillary has the experience or intellect to handle the job of president?

She managed to cover for her sorry excuse of a husband more often than not, but unless she's stopped PMSing...

GAWD I hate to say this, but Yes, She's way smarter than GW, IMO..But I'll NEVER VOTE FOR HER! Why? Because I don't think she has the interest of the Country in mind...just her own agenda.
So, to me, that makes her very dangerous, and WELL worth fighting!

Exactly!

Do I think she can be president, is she qualified to not ruin our country too badly? Yes, but in no way do I think she's good, not that there's many good politicians who will become President. It's not like the end of the USA if she gets into office. I can think of a less qualified poor Yale student who hasn't completely ruined our country despite being less qualified.

... but do you really think that Hillary has the experience or intellect to handle the job of president?

Are you kidding? If that witch is qualified, then so am I.

I'd say that... I wish I could use the "c" word here... is a more divisive figure than President Bush EVER was. She certainly could spark an uprising if elected. I'd take pleasure in participating in that too.

 

[Gem]

I agree with IControlThePast on this one...I think that she is smart enough to become President, and I do not think she would destroy this nation...

I do think, however, that aside from being amazingly divisive (because we need more of that...NOT) she would also set America WELL on its way towards becoming like the ever increasingly socialist nations of Europe.

If you like waiting for weeks for your "free" healthcare that you pay for with 60% of your taxes...or steadily increasing and already in the double digits unemployment like they are currently enjoying in Germany...then by all means....vote for Hillary...

 

[archangel]

Are y'all for real...Hillary as President!...smart?...geez she could not even get her socialized medicine proposal passed while she was first lady...Also she is nothing more than a spoiled brat..who spins more than a top...she has illusions of grandeur...she only wants to be President for the power...she could care less about the country as we know it...she is and always has been a socialist/communist and would take us down the dark road of NWO!

She has about as much a chance of becomming President as the defunct John McCain...he sold out and also must pay the piper!

I can only pray that a viable real conservative will step up to the plate in 08!

As far as intelligence goes, I wouldn't fault Hillary for too much of it. She went through Yale Law School and did better than GWB at Yale. She's not just like a trailer queen from Arkansas with just a GED.

Gotta go with that; we underestimate the Clintons at our peril. As Joe Sobranz pointed out about Bill, the biggest mistake people make is assuming he's some kind of backwoods Arkansas hick. In truth, he grew up amid the brothels and gaming houses of Hot Springs - a different world altogether. "If Bill Clinton ever heard a hog called", Sobranz writes, "it was in SICILIAN".

And Hillary's the SMART one.

her and her agenda whole heartedly. The emigrate comment was tongue in cheek. You know like the libs were saying of W. But I need not worry as she's about as electable as Paddy Buchanan; just rubs most folks the wrong way. Yeah you got it there Kaiser I'm anti-American. HEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee!!

You know you make a lot of dumbass statements but this is one of your best . Who gives a crap what somebody did in their high school extention classes (college) 30 years ago? She is a lawyer so that just means that she is an expert at twisting words to suit her needs , it doesn't make her intelligent . I can't think of anything she has ever said or done that would get this rediculous label placed on her . All you need to do to become a lawyer is learn the bullshit language of law , who wants to do that , you might as well learn french ? She is a sneak and a crook and dangerous . . .but intelligent ? She married a guy that I wouldn't trust to sell me a piece of gum and has stayed with him even as he has walked on her like the cheap door mat that she is . Not only is her intelligence no more than average , she has no taste or class and doesn't have a clue about what she is talking about in most of her speeches , that is why she is constantly screaming throughout them . When you don't have anything intelligent to say scream and scare the hell out of the listeners .
I laugh at the idiots that are still so sure that President Bush is an imbecile , that just says so much about you . He laughs at all of you too , from the Oval office , while serving his SECOND term as President of the United States.

I'm sure it's so easy at Yale Law and a lot of people who lack intelligence get in there . Taste and class don't come with the intelligence territory, and are also just personal preferences like favorite color. Only screaming doesn't work, just ask Howard Dean. Somehow she's probably sitting with all her followers laughing at you for thinking she's stupid. Apparently her speeches and her husband (who you presumably know a lot more about than her) appealed to a lot of people, so maybe your just not grasping what she's saying. If she gets elected President, without changing anything she does, does that mean you'll immediately think she's smart? So you think that Bill Clinton is smart too, was he laughing at you from the Oval Office? because that would suprise me. I've warned you not to underestimate Hillary, but you can bring about your own end by doing so if you wish.

She can change her color or even her spots, but she can't change who she is.
A coniving, manipulating power seeker. She is no friend of America.
