Hillary and Bill
You know, if Hillary doesn't enter the 2004 race and stays true to running in 2008, well, won't that really depend on the Dems losing in 2004? So my point is, do you think that Bill and Hillary are maybe kinda cheerin' for * to win? I mean, it seems like Bill has been backing Clark, who is a respectable candidate (with a better chance to win that Dean has), but I don't see how Hillary will be able to run in 2008 if there is a Democrat in the WH then. Just throwin' this up there. Don't hate me.

1. I don't hate you
The only people who have really seriously mentioned Hillary for 08 are the repukes. I think it's funny too, since it implies they're going to win in 04. Can't wait for that one to bite them in the ass!

2. I don't hate you
But you're wrong. They, like all politicians, will keep their options open. But don't believe that republican lie that they're more ambitious than patriotic. They want Bush out as much as any Democrat, possibly more.

All presidents, out of professional courtesy are nice to one another. Remember Clinton showing up at Nixon's funeral? But they're certainly on the Light Side of the Force here.

3. I think Bill and Hillary care too much about this country
to ever wish that someone like Bush would win the Presidency.

4. Don't believe this to be true...
If bush wins in 2004, Hillary runs in 2008. If Dean (or some other dem) wins in 2004, Hillary runs in 2012. Four years is not a long time in politics.

Besides, I believe that Hillary is smart enough to understand that she is not going to lose any name recognition by waiting a few years, and she really needs to spend some time building up some political credibility as a senator to stand a chance at the White House. She needs to win another six years in the senate, which will keep her busy until 2012, before she will be a viable presidential candidate.

5. Don't hate you because you're spewing the repuke line?
Nah.

6. OK. Don't hate me for this evil thought
Hillary still has time to jump in at the moment she sees a Dem winning. Would she? I don't know but in the world of politics anything is possible.

She won't be viable in 2012 and if a Dem gets eight then the VP would have to either be a loser or knocked off to let her in.

7. Hillary can wait
Even if we have a Dem president for the next 8 years (making it 2012 before she can run as president), she will still be younger than Regan.
She can wait. And she will, her time will come. When she runs, I am confident it will be the RIGHT time and she WILL WIN!

9. No offense but I don't think so
In 2012 Hillary will be too old for today's youth and exuberance. The more I see and speak with the youth of our country the more I worry for our future. The people alive in 2038 are the one's to worry about since nearly all of our defenses and offenses are married to a four byte integer to determine what day it is. Boom boom out go the lights!

8. Whenever I read a post like this I look at the number of
messages posted. This theory is stale but keeps getting burped by repugs. Want the marionette to win? That means there is no hole in the ozone.
