Reply #12: I don't think her being a Senator matters.

[PresidentObama]

I think a Senator will win the nomination in 2008. Clinton, Kerry, Feingold, Biden, and former Senator Edwards. Theres a chance that Warner could get the nomination. But I think he'll be a VP choice, honestly.

Her big problem is that she is a women. Yeah, I know. The polls say America would vote for a women. To hell with the polls. Didn't polls and focus groups say in 2004 that the America people didn't like negative campaigning? Rubbish, of course they do. Polls mean nothing. Well, they do. But their not the gospel. America is sexist. Like it or not. And if were at war, she'll rally the GOP base because she's a women (not to mention she's a Clinton...rally that GOP base Hillary.) The rednecks from the south will say women are too weak to lead us. And even though I disagree, and would love a women President. And even though, I do like Hillary....she will not get the nomination. And theres no doubt in my mind she's just media hype, and something to talk about.

She'll be the Howard Dean of 2008. Surge for a while, her weaknesses will become clear, she'll look unelectable, and then she'll be a lost cause....

She's too risky, too polarizing, and doesn't have enough appeal. She didn't connect with the African Americans in the audience at the Coretta Scott King funeral, which leads me to believe she isn't going to draw much enthuasism in her speaking abilities. All she has is the Clinton name, the Clinton campaigners, the media, and the money. The media nor throwing money at her campaign will win her the nomination, and/or the election.
