My take on Hilary in 2008:

- she is very likely to win the Democratic primary unless she really screws up. Why? She knows politics, how to raise $$$, and I don't think there is anyone else on the horizon who can grab the limelight from her.

- she *may* win the presidential nod too. The Republicans are likely to have a bloodbath during the primaries. It will be hard to campaign against her *and* her hubby. Negative campaigns, on the level we saw against Kerry in 2004, will probably not sit well with the public because Hilary "is a lady". :rolleyes:

I have mixed views about Hilary. Yes, she is terribly slimey ... but probably no worse than her hubby, or any other senator, or even Dubya. Perhaps because she is a woman she doesn't wear it so well. laugh But like her husband she is enormously talented and, well, she probably can handle being president.

So in the end I would vote for her but I'd hate doing it. Like someone else posted, it is about time we had a woman president. I just wish it wasn't her.
