Hillary is an elder stateswoman with a ton of skeletons in her closet, Obama is a relatively clean slate. If Hillary does win the primary, she's going to be a very iffy candidate going into the general. Obama on the other hand, should he get past the primary, he has a great shot.

I disagree on Obama. I mean, i think he's probably a good guy and a good potential candidate, but the vetting process hasn't really started yet. I don't think he can win at this point.

Amazing how soon people forget the law suits and investigations from Arkansas when Bill was Gov. Before and after.
Thomas... she ain't no Arkie... she's from Chicagoland... can dead men vote twice? Suuure!

As a Democrat, I hope we find someone other than Hillary Clinton to carry the party's nomination. She is a polarizing figure, and ability to win aside, that is not what the country needs right now -- we've had enough of polarizing presidents lately.

I'm also not sure that I like the idea of the "first spouse" being a former president -- just seems too frought with potential problems to me. I voted for Clinton and liked him as president -- didn't always like his personal choices but at least we didn't have a huge budget deficit for a while. But I'm not sure I like the idea of him as "First Gentleman."

Besides, by the time the election is held, there will only have been two families in the White House for 20 years -- the Bushes and the Clintons. Do we really want to make that 24 (or 28) years? I think we need some new blood. Now if some blood would just come along that I could get excited about.

Should Hillary win the Democratic primary, I'll be forced to vote republic. Live in my state for more than 5 minutes and pay taxes to my state before you're going to call yourself a New Yorker and are going to run in one of our elections.

OK, I was going to post a pic of someone vomiting but they're all too graphic.

If the Dems even think about asking Obama to be VP to Hillary, I hope he tells them to go shit in their hat.

I think the democrats are feeling frisky after dominating the recent elections.

As much as I hate to say this, I really do not think America can handle a female president or a president who is not entirely white. There are still WAY too many racist/sexist people who will stop either canidate from entering the white house. Although I would personally love to see someone outside of the typical middle-aged white man as our president, I don't think it will happen until much later in my life.

How sad.
