regular life? You give that up also.

And why most people never want to run for the office!

But look how close Kerry came in 04, and he truly had a lot of baggage.

Not like Hillary, Dr. Guy. While I hate to reference polls, most polls put the number of people who say they will "definitely NOT" vote for Hillary somewhere in the upper 40 percent. She would need to get virtually everyone else to vote for her, if that polling is correct.

Honestly, I think it will come down to: is the DNC more race sensitive or gender sensitive? And I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility of a LOT of African American votes jumping away from the Dems if she is successful in her smear campaign against Obama. Running attack ads on Obama would be a VERY ill advised move, I believe.

No, she is too sneaky for ads.  She uses her dupes in the MSM.  The most recent is that Obama (SHOCK!) actually went to a muslim school as a child.

You can't "make" someone run for presiden

thats why the "make" is in inverted commas - meaning persuade and put up the money etc. not force

And on top of that....a regular life? You give that up also.

I would say her life is pretty irregular already? Would running for the big one make very much difference to her life?

Anyway just so long as it is not the SPB

I would say her life is pretty irregular already? Would running for the big one make very much difference to her life?

As a matter of fact, yes it would make a very large difference IMHO.

Would running for the big one make very much difference to her life?

Yes, it would. It would make a HUGE difference.

Do you want to know why one of our most qualified, competent, and universally respected candidates will not run? Because of family issues unrelated to his ability to hold office and which the media has no business delving into.

The candidate I am speaking of is, of course, Colin Powell. A great man, one that history will almost certainly record as one of the best secretaries of state we've ever had, but who does not want his family to suffer for his political ambitions.

I know the complete contempt in which you hold me for DARING to even CONSIDER running for office, jennifer, but I will tell you that just my race for the state House of Representatives has changed things pretty dramatically...I assure you that a race for the presidency is hundreds of times more grueling.

Would running for the big one make very much difference to her life?

Actually given her profession and accomplishments, yes.  She has done something that few ever get to.  Gotten to the top in her field.  And while hers is more political, I would not trade that for an oval office if I could say that.

As a matter of fact, yes it would make a very large difference IMHO.

I really should read all before responding.  Ditto Doc!

Yes, it would. It would make a HUGE difference.

Seems we all are of one mind here.

I assure you that a race for the presidency is hundreds of times more grueling.

I cannot say "yea, I know that", but I can say that I fear that.  And that is why I never will. Run that is.

And John Edwards Doc?

don't you have a better female candidate? Someone a bit more likeable for the first one?

Condi Rice - but she is not going to run.

Oh no...too close to Bush for my taste.

And John Edwards Doc?

I think he has the inside track on the base.  But he can never win a general election.  It is up to the democrats to steer to the middle in the primaries, or it will be edwards, and he will lose.

Oh no...too close to Bush for my taste.

We dont want you to eat her, just elect her!

We dont want you to eat her, just elect her!

Frankly, I think I'd be better off eating her than electing her.   


...wait...that doesn't sound right...

You said it!  Now it is going to haunt your presidential campaign!
