1. Hillary is a Democrat's Democrat
she will most certainly NOT run as an independent.

6. No.
I wouldn't --but you might as well ask me if I plan on orbitting the moon any time soon.

8. I agree with you maddiejoan. I think there is NO chance she will run as an Independent
I think Bill would have a real problem with that.

19. But that's not the question. The question is "What if she does"
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 07:02 PM by demdog78
I seriously want to know. All the horrible things I have read on here, I want to know.

Hillary Supporters: If "Your Girl" jumps ship, are you jumping too?

24. IF (and that's a huge If)
she did that --she wouldn't be Hillary Clinton.

Seriously --it's a stupid question.


"Once one of us has the nomination there will be a great effort to unify the Democratic party and we will do so, because, remember I have a lot of supporters who have voted for me in very large numbers and I would expect them to support Senator Obama if he were the nominee," --Hillary Clinton

Has Obama said anything even remotely as affirming to the Democratic Party?

28. She JUST said that when... last night?
And it's not a stupid question. Lieberman just did it, and he was a VP candidate.

So, it's not like it hasn't happened before.

And why would Obama need to say that? He isn't the one trailing. Actually, he's never trailed.

3. I'd slam her for sure.
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 06:53 PM by spoony
edit: I DON'T think she'd ever do that but given your hypothetical, she'd lose my respect.

5. As much as I dislike her now, I doubt she would run as an Ind. But
that said, she would destroy the party in her efforts to get the nomination.

7. I have never heard any credible source stating...
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 06:54 PM by RiverStone
...That Hillary would run as an Independent.

And as far as Loserman - he was run outta DU on a rail, tar and feathers included. We all look forward to when -due to Dem increases in the Senate this Nov - we never have to utter that war mongering prick's name again.

11. I guess it depends on what you call credible.
I personally think Randi Rhodes if very credible. I can't remember where else I've heard it. I'll try to find it.

But I really remember Randi saying it because I was thinking it the night before I heard her say it on the radio.

And yes, I know... Randi is now a freeper troll, if you are a hillary supporter.

26. Among other things, the Clintons are astute to the polls
so even if one were to accept that they they would do such a thing -unlike Lieberman, they know that the numbers (and the money) aren't there.

I've read that all over the place.

How on earth would that help the Clintons?

18. If she DID decide to run for President as an Independent...
We would be looking at four years of calling John McCain "Mister President." If Hillary goes Independent and Obama is the Democratic nominee, McCain will pick up votes from both camps as the Democratic voters in this country fracture. McCain would win easily. All he would have to do would be to sit back and watch Obama and Clinton continue to destroy one another.

If this were to happen, I honestly think that DU would explode into a million little shreds of burning plastic.

It's a pretty simple question.
