Maybe it's me, but Hillary Clinton isn't planning on running for President
Edited on Sun May-08-05 03:41 PM by LynneSin
Seriously!

I honestly believe that she has no intentions whatsoever to run for anything but US Senator. But the reason she never says anything to deny running with all this "front-runner" press - is because she's the decoy.

Right now repukes are already lining up with the Anti-Hillary websites, books, commercials, and news stories ready to go up against Ms. Clinton's supposed presidential run. These right-wing nut jobs LOVE the idea of Hillary Clinton running for president because it lines their pockets with MONEY. And while these repukes are gunning for Hillary, the DNC and democratic party are quietly putting together a presidental campaign with a candidate that will probably not be Hillary.

So my question is this - if Hillary doesn't run (and believe me, it won't be because of any of these idiots), do these vultures return all the money they siphoned off of their anti-Hillary projects?

1. of course!
these people have integrity, only tell the truth, and never try to manipulate public opinion with propaganda. And if you believe that, I'll sell you this nice bridge in Brooklyn.....

3. If that's the case, she's making an excellent decoy.
Everytime I've ever heard her say anything about running for president, she said no. I tend to believe her. After all the grief she was put through during Bill's presidential years, why would she volunteer for more?

And maybe the repubs in charge don't believe that she's running either. I suspect from their point of view, the hardline neos pull their money out quicker when their fundraisers use the name Hillary.

4. IMHO I think you are right
After all the Repugs spend their money fighting against her now, they will be worn out by 2008...

:evilgrin:

6. Not only worn out - but uncredible
I mean, if I was someone who donated to an anti-Hillary 2008 group and found out that Hillary never was planning on running, you better believe I probably wouldn't want to donate to any of those people again.

Then again I was dumb enough to donate to an anti-Hillary group - hell I'd probably give money to anything

13. They'll simply declare that they, and they alone, have stopped Hilary
and saved the country from disaster.

They'll also hold a press conference to declare that they, and they alone, are responsible for the sun rising.

5. When she declares for re-election, they'll hound her unmercifully
"Senator Clinton will you swear to serve your full term" "Sen Clinton, is their any possibility..." at that time, I expect her to offer a "Sherman" denial. She'll state in no uncertain terms that she WILL NOT be a candidate. Now that won't satisfy the vamp-whores in the press, but she'll mean it.

That said, if the eventual nominee were to offer her the vice-presidency, I would expect her to accept.

9. I tend to agree with you. Let the GOP make fools out of themselves.
Too bad they never have to worry about backlash because the corporate media lets them act like fools and get away with it.

10. Nope
I'll stick with my bet (and my information at this point). She's planning to run. Whether it works out or not is to come. But right now the plan is to run, I feel certain.

11. I think she's planning to run
I like your plan better, though. She will have to deal with the question in a Senate race. She's going to have to have a good answer to the questions.

12. I think she will give it go
but is testing the waters right now. Her testing skills need some revising, imo.
