I have come to the realization of this very sad 'fact!' Let's do a "+" and "-" comparison of their strengths vs 'the Repubs:'

Hillary (the cuckold wife of the 'philanderer' Bill):

"Pluses:"

(1) Woman (I am 'woman' hear me roar!)---will get 100% of the Liberal female vote
(2) Will get 100% of the Gay vote (they'll vote for any sleezy, er I mean, 'open-minded' Lib)
(3) Socialist (will give to all who need govt welfare programs)---will get 100% of the welfare minded ppl vote
(4) Single, lower-income women (same reason as above, no man around to help financially!)
(5) AfAm VP Obama (will get 80% of the Black vote)
(6) Tax the 'Rich' (will sucker lower/middle class ignorants to believing will solve need for more $$$, and ignore impedance to actual business growth)
(7) The 'Oprah religion' vote (thk you Obama)
( Govt sponsored Healthcare---back to Socialism and poor healthcare---but it's FREE!!
(9) Bill is her hubby---some ignorants still worship him and think that he was a 'great President!!?'

"Negatives:"

(1) No businessmen will vote for her increase Tax 'follies' (100% will not vote for her!)
(2) True Conservative, 'enlightened' women will NOT vote for her!! (that's maybe only 25% of the female vote)
(3) Evangelicals will NOT vote for her---even tho many are trying to make it a '1-issue' election based on abortion and opt NOT to support a Repub who doesnt line up with that issue 100%----very foolish, just saber-rattling!! .
(3) Bill will upstage her at every joint meeting, just by 'being there---doesnt have to say anything!'
(4) 41% of the population will NOT vote for her no matter what!

Looking at both attributes, still think she can get at least 51% of the pop vote!

Looks like the only shot the Repubs have is a Guiliani/Romney or Guiliani/Huckabee ticket?! Guiliani has his humor and 9-11 record working for him (doesnt have the Reagan looks and likability tho); and, Romney could get the looks vote (important to women, in general!), maybe the religious vote; whereas, Huckabee would get the 'True Conservative', the likability, and evangelical vote to help Guiliani...

I think that the bottom line will be the 'status' of the Iraq/Iran situations at the time on the elections; and, any gotchas/Swift boat issues that may show up till then.

For the sake of argument,

if Ron Paul were the nominee vs the Hillary/Obama machine, would you support Ron Paul?

or would you let Hillary have the reins of the quasi-dictatorship?

I hope Hillary does win. It'll be fun to say "I told you so" for four years.

They will blame it all on Bush for 4 more years.
After all, if Bush were not such a meanie the
islamic extremist would never have attacked on 9-11 right?
Either that or Bush blew up the twin towers himself....
You can only really say I told you so to people
who think for themselves not Liberals.

True, but luckily my wife has dual US/Canadian citizenship, so if need be, our assets will go north. Before Hillary can give them away to liberal do-nothings.

Yeah, having Hillary to kick around for '4 years' (she wont make 8 years!!) will be great!! After being in the defensive position supporting G. Bush and take all those 'cheap shots' (everything bad is Bush!!) , the 'shoe' will be on the other foot! Talk about lots of fodder and material to shove down the Demos throats---WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will probably outlaw talking bad about any elected official. Seeing as the liberals are so thin skinned.

If the Repubs dont fractionalize into splinter groups then Hillary is unelectable. WAY too many negatives.

I don't think the actual "liberal" leadership will touch the 9-11 issue because it , if the argument is true (that the Bush administration either allowed it to happen, or had a hand in the orchestration,) then the entire political process is suspect, the Dems would be blamed for participating in the coverup.

The Democrats have too much to lose if they expose the truth, thus to maintain the status quo of the scheduled power hand-off to them, they will be tight-lipped and resist the growing Truth Movement.

thats funny. The conservative Red State website has summarily banned any discussion of the Ron Paul campaign by members with less than 6 months membership tenure. I guess they're just as intolerant of discussion and debate as you claim the liberals are.
