Studies show that women are actually harder on other women running for office. Without them behind Hillary in a big way, it is doubtful she'd have a chance. As an independent who voted for Nader in the last 2 elections, I want a viable 3rd party candidate. I'd vote for McCain or Guiliani on the Repub side. I'd vote for Edwards and a few others on the Dem side. But I really want an independent. Both parties take the people for granted.

An independent would be awesome. Maybe Mike Bloomburg will do it with his money. I don't like him that much, but I would vote for any independent.

The Republicans and Democrats are the same people. Corrupt to the core. They just get their money from different interests.

Personally, I don't think Hillary will run EVER, let alone garner the nomination! Far more charismatic and forceful leaders out there(although in the Democratic crowd that might be a misnomer) to choose from. No doubt that the domain of politics is 'dark' and I surmise most don't remain 'unscathed' while gathering support and the daunting campaigns that must be run! Would be nice to see US concentrate on Home Problems, and then go save the world,but that apparently is wishful thinking!

I like Bloomie, too, though I didn't vote for him in the last election because I was mad at him over the stupid proposed West Side Stadium here in NYC. I don't know if he wants higher office, though.

Randall, I think you're right that women are harder on each other than men are on each other (the main reason you all are still the ones in power-- if we ever get over this catfighting thing, look out... hee hee. Kidding. Kind of. No, I am. Maybe). But I think if a female candidate really goes after the issues important to women voters, she'll get the votes from them.

Boy, these days I'd like to say you're wrong about the Dems, Timm, but I'm pretty disgusted with most of them myself. For the love of Pete, just stand for something, donkeys! I desperately want them back in power in Congress because Bush's spending frenzy needs to be stopped, but it sucks to think if they win it'll be because the Republicans are that awful, not because they're that good. Argh.

Though I think they're avoiding the Iraq issue because the only "winning" strategy is bringing back the draft and upping the numbers of soldiers there, along with forking out the money to actually pay for the real cost of the war and that is political suicide. Bush has created a mess with no good solution. And it'll be left for his successor to clean up. Kind of a pattern with him...

Looks like Obama may run.

I can't wait to see Bill Clinton on the trail for his wife telling everyone how he is more black than Obama, when it gets nasty between Hillary and Obama.

I would have a tough time if it is Obama vs McCain. They both seem to have independent streaks and that is what we need.

youth and lack of experience hurt edwards, and it'll hurt obama. i read also a couple weeks ago that hillary may just try to move up in the senate to speaker of the house, rather than attempt a probable losing presidential run.

There is no speaker of the house in the Senate. It is Majority Leader or Minority Leader, a completely useless job considering Senators listen to nobody, unlike the House idiots who are just sheep.
