Are you going to leave the country like Dick Morris?

I will enjoy that day if it happens because if I had a dollar for every damn post I've read here that she's unelectable, I'd be a millionaire.

1. Continue protesting the war she voted for and supports.

17. I would be very sad and vote for the party.
I want no more no talented person with a well known last name in office. I would also like to see a few other colleges in the line up. Yale seems to be producing the wrong type for the WH. What are they learning in that college? They are not getting BS but WAR behind their names. Could it be the local water?

5. I expect they will seek acceptance that the democratic party has "jumped the shark"....
Mark my words, Hilary getting the nod will fracture this party. Which may be a good thing.

7. Republican reaction?
Unelectable? Won't go so far as to say that... but a Republican guy I know from a different message board posted this after her announcement:

'Hil' is in the runnin'. Obama and Hil. This could be the greatest moment in Republican Party history. All my fellow Repubs need is a clean cut white guy who can 1) speak English and 2) keep his mouth shut, and the election is ours.

I fear that he may not be wrong about that.

9. I never said she was unelectable! I said she was UNDELECTABLE.
But seriously, I'll vote for her if I must, and you'll know my ballot by the barf-stain.

10. I'd much prefer her to be President over any Republican.
Particularly since, for her to ever get anywhere near the White House, she's going to have to stop with the bullshit about flag burning and smutty video games, and come up with a cogent, morally consistent approach to ending the war in Iraq. Otherwise, she aint gonna get there.

But I seriously doubt that she's going to be the nominee.

If she is the nominee, I will do what I do every four years, and vote for The Democratic Candidate in the General election- just as I would hope and expect every vociferous Hillary supporter on DU will do if Al Gore, or Dennis Kucinch for that matter, wins the nomination.

11. Nice post, she may not be my choice, but I won't trash her
Yes, she has some flaws (IWR), but if she's the nominee she'll get my vote.

Main objective people: Remove the RepubliCON pimple from the ASS of PROGRESS. Don't forget it.

12. I think there are real problems with her being the nominee. I don't want her to be the nominee.
barring some big changes, I will argue throughout the primary process for pretty much any of the other candidates before her; she's near the bottom.

But if she wins the nomination, then I will support her.

I'll feel like a wise elder and hold the "told ya so's,"
most of the time.

16. I won't be too proud to admit I was wrong
I'll wish her nothing but success if she becomes our president. I won't hold her to any greater or lesser standard of ideals than any other politician.

It's fun to say "I told you so" about something like the Bears not going to the Super Bowl but life is a lot more serious than a football game. I get no satisfaction in having been right about the war being a terrible idea or having predicted that W was going to be a disaster for the US. I'd have actually been pretty happy to be proven wrong. If Hillary becomes president and the US starts to again resemble the country I used to be proud of -- I'll be the first one in line to shout from the rooftops that I was wrong. But on the other hand, if she fucks things up royally, regardless of whether or not I predicted it, it will make me sad as hell. I certainly won't get off on saying "I told you so."

18. Suffer through her corporate friendly programs much like I did under her husband
And keep protesting the war and demanding that it end, since I doubt that she will have the wherewithall to end it(after all, can't have our first woman president looking "soft on terra":eyes:

It isn't that I find the woman unelectable, I simply think that she shouldn't be elected. Another pro-war, corporate whore is not what this country needs.

19. No fan of Hillary here
but if she became the nominee and actually won it would not be due to anything I did for her besides a vote. I will however make a ton of money for my local party off of her name through the sale of swag. That would be a nice switch, eh?

20. I doubt very much that she will be our next president
but if it happens, I don't think I'll be too bothered by it, as long as she doesn't do something nuts, like bomb Iran. I would actually get a big kick out of the FReeper's heads exploding.:)

21. Depends on the integrity of the voting system.
Doen't the fact that you've read so many disparging remarks here and knowing how reviled she is by Republicans tell you something about her electability? Do we really want another "divider"?

22. Dancing in the end zone...
before the game has started.

You might want to count the 'she's unelectable' posts and wait till the game is over before declaring yourself a millionaire.
