either Fla or Ohio. But most experts will point out that a Dem will have to win a bellweather state in order to take the presidency. I live in a bellweather state (MO) and I can tell you that there is no way that Hillary will win this state in '08 if she chooses to run. No way whatsoever. They (pukes, neocons, fundgelicals) are praying for her to run and they have ammo. They want her to come here and campaign. I've heard them. They have plans for her here and they are not pretty.
We need a better candidate. We need a candidate who can talk to the people and make them feel like they are talking to a friend over a beer. We need a candidate who can convey the message of "What have the Republicans done for you lately?". We need a candidate who can show the people that their votes really do matter (as I've heard many in my hometown complain about their votes not counting) and that if they place their vote well, it will bring about change for themselves and their families.
Right now Hillary is not that candidate. She cannot win this bellweather state. And this state voting record tends to decide who will win the presidency.
