Clinton for Pres in 2008?

Already talk has begun. Hillary Clinton running for the Democratic ticket with Obama Barack as VP.

Any thoughts?

Many people inside the Beltway have said all along that Hillary is secretly hoping Kerry would lose so she could run.

I guess we'll have to see.

I think that it will depend on the first couple years of Bush's second term. If things go badly, we might see it happen. If things go well for Bush, I think you are going to have the Democrats looking for a more conservative choice. Hilary is a very polarizing figure, and I'm STILL not sure America is ready for a woman or a black man in these positions of power, let alone both.

(God, I would love it, though.)

a) who the hell is Obama Barack?

b) Theres no doubt in my mind Hillary was hoping that Kerry would lose. As stated in other recent threads, the Democrats do not have their shit together at this point in time. John Kerry is not looking out for the disenfranchised or the oppressed. John Kerry isnt looking out for the Democrats. John Kerry is looking out for John Kerry. John Edwards is looking out for John Edwards. Hillary Clinton is looking out for Hillary Clinton.

Obama Barack is the new senator from Illinois. He has an impressive credential. Graduated from Harvard Law where he was the editor for the Law Review. Mother is white and father a Kenyan economist. He also has an Asian connection, his mother re-married an Indonesian fella and has a half Indonesian half American sister.

Actually it's Barack Obama.

i enjoy obama. first of all, he sounds like a republican, second of all....people were talking with him this morning, asking him about his presidency....and he very honestly and very refreshingly stated how his family is young and how they come first, and all that. i like obama. if he ran against, i dunno....say mccain, it would be hard for me to not vote for him.

hillary, though.....HELL NO! she is extremely smart, but extremely wrong, IMHO. don't like her.....never liked her......will never like her. too liberal....and that obviously ain't cuttin it.

but again, obama would be a strong move for dems, eventually.

I don't think that it will happen. I didn't think that Hillary Clinton would win the Senate race either, so what do I know? I think that she represents New York State very well along with Senator Schumer won just won his second term. I think that there might be more palatable Democrats out there to run for President in 2008.

I was just making a half joke about Barack Obama. Merely a case of nitpickery. The serious half was that hes a freshman senator whose credentials are impressive but whose agenda, like ANY new politician, remain largely unclear, yet people are ready to elect President of the United States because of one intense and well-worded speech at the DNC.

I think discussion of Obama for VP or Pres. is a little premature at this point. He may sound like a moderate/conservative when he speaks, however, I'm going to wait until he actually has some kind of voting record to look back on.

AUDeltaGam · #11 11-03-2004, 04:36 PM

oooh, I just LOVE the thought of that!

McCain will wipe the floor with that carpetbagger in 2008.

#13 11-03-2004, 05:07 PM

God help us if Hillary is elected president in 08.

Hello, welcome to 1865.

Where in the world do people still use the term "carpetbagger"?
