Hillary Clinton 2008?

SAY ANYTHING blogged about it earlier today... and now, on the heels of word over the holiday weekend that she's gained support for a run for president in 2008 from a majority of Americans for the first time, Hillary Clinton may be getting ready for the ride of her life... and if you and I make it through 2008, we may see history made like it's never been before... the first FEMALE president of the United States of America. Personally, I think Hillary has done a thorough job as New York State Senator. The importance and the quality of the legislation she has sponsored is what we really should look at. She has shown, that although she's an outsider, she's shed that skin... She's a NEW YORKER now! Occam's Razor Blogs it out of the ballpark (Here)!

Yes, there are some sticky issues, like abortion... timesonline.co.uk reports: "...Her supporters have been at pains to challenge the assertion that perhaps the most divisive figure in modern American politics is reinventing herself. She has always been moderate on abortion, for instance, argued Peter Beinart, Editor of the left-of-centre magazine The New Republic. He said that she was relying on the same formula that her husband had used to cross the cultural divide by saying that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare”.

Nevertheless, Mrs Clinton clearly has made great efforts to show that she is keen to find new ways in which politicians from both sides can discuss issues such as abortion without partisan rancour..."

The answer to your question is NO,she would NOT be a fitting presidential candidate in 2008.
Hillary Clinton is perhaps the most successfull coat-tail surfer in human history.Had she not married Slick Willy,no one would have EVER heard of her.Any good she has ever done for the poeple in New York has been done for the specific purpose of gaining political favor for her presidential run,and she will turn so conservative that you will not be able to stand her by the time 2008 rolls around.(You KNOW She's seen the red/blue Jesusland map.)
Hillary Clinton represents no one but herself.DO NOT BE FOOLED.If a politician represents anyone other than YOU,DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM.Period.
Her attempted takeover of the healthcare system alone is enough to keep me from ever voting for her for anything,let alone president.Had she been successful with that,she would have caused every employer who offered health insurance to their employees to drop it like a hot rock."If the government will pay for it,why should I???"
Be VERY careful who you put on your pedistal...that's a great place from which to shit on you.
