Reply #34: Sure lots of talk, but by no means a sure thing on Hillary

[180209]

That's it, lots and lots and lots of talk about a Hillary run in '08,including an awful lot by the right wingers who would love it because they think another northern generally liberal Senator and this time a woman named Hillary Clinton who would have little chance of turning any significant number of red states blue (which MUST happen if we are going to win in '08) wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning a general election, but by no means anything definite, and it's VERY early. Bill and Hill are very savvy, and if they run they'd want to win. And they know full well how challenging it would be. Let's remember, again, that's it's VERY early, and there are many other formidable possibilities out there. Personally, I think this party MUST learn from the past once and for all and look again to Governors who could have a real chance of carrying some red states (i.e. Warner/Richardson/Vilsack types). That's just plain reality. I like Hillary a lot, but I don't think she makes it in a general election. And this time it MUST be about WINNING!!
