Is it your contention that Eric Fingerhut would currently be the front-runner for the Dem. nomination if only he would have filed?

Why Molly Won't Support Hillary

Lucie

That column really spoke for me too -- and Ariana Huffington said more people either sent it to her or told her to read it than anything since she has been doing The Huffington Post. I think Molly speaks for a lot of us.

Al Gore's recent speeches have been very strong, and I think he probably learned a lot from the last campaign -- I hope he will really be himself and not let handlers do his colors or tell him what to say. And I don't think he'll go for Joe Lieberman or anyone like him as running mate this time. Who is smarter or more aware of the job, the environment, what it takes to do things in DC? Gee, I'm talking myself into this.

Thank you Renee...

I was going to post that very Molly Ivins column which crystallized my thoughts perfectly. Hillary will probably go down in flames and I don't think I could stomach voting for her. Dear God, I hope Al Gore runs, the rest of the Democratic field look like complete losers.

Sorry, I'm not buying into that yet

She has alot to do to win back the grassroots. Remember us? The grunts out doing the non-glamorous work in the trenches? She doesn't have my primary vote yet.

As for Fingerhut: yep it's hard to be govenor if you don't file.

no

not playing devil's advocate. just pointing out that hillary is going to be the next president of the United States.

i will also point out that when i said Finger and you said Hut, i thought the man would file. hillary won't have that problem.

Tim are you just playing Devil's Advocate?

The right hates anything Clinton. The Left hates anything DLC. The mushball middle isn't paying attention. Where will she draw her support from?

This reminds me of a post on Buckeye Politics about Fingerhut being the front-runner in the Governor's race.

Russ Feingold?

JeanLR — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 10:08:59 -0800

heard he's showing interest in running~

I like Al Gore

post 2000 edition.

What about Al Gore?

Lucie — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 09:47:20 -0800

What about Al Gore?

I like him a lot more than I used to -- and after all, he did win in 2000.

I don't know any Dems who want Hilary to run -- I think it is a Republican talking point.

Sorry...

for not exciting you. Why don't you tell us who does so we won't make that mistake again.

Not excited . . .

Alan Harvard — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 09:11:11 -0800

Wow, NONE of the candidates you all have mentioned so far excite me . . .

Joe Biden in '08

NAB4SE — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 08:13:31 -0800

Then he can nominate Hill for the Supreme Court.

I'm so glad

that I chose to completely ignore Presidential races and focus on the House. It's so liberating.

If Hillary's BAGGAGE is the nominee...

Blogesque — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 08:04:49 -0800

I will vote third party or abstain, along with many others. I dislike the idea of dynastic succession in the USA and refuse to do even the slightest thing to facilitate it. I really wish the Hillary '08 faction would STFU. Do they not realize what they're pushing for?

I am NOT a Hillary fan.

Drdemocrat — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 07:57:11 -0800

I prefer other possible candidates including Clark and Feingold.

This is why Hillary will win in 2008

House Armed Services committee chairman Duncan Hunter was on ABC's This Week on Sunday. He was there specifically as a GOP committee chair in the GOP controlled House, opposing his GOP president's moronic ports deal with Dubai Ports World. Hunter SPECIFICALLY supports the bill sponsored by Hillary Clinton which would prohibit state-owned foreign firms from controlling US ports.

Repeat. GOP Armed Services Committee chairman supports Hillary Clinton's bill.

This must drive Duncan hunter completely insane, because Hunter, in the same breath, found no less than three instances in about a ten minute interview which he shared with Maine Senator Susan Collins, to take gratuitous shots at "your old boss, George," Bill Clinton, for having talked to Dubai Ports World about the deal. Three times. You could hear the man's obvious horror at having to utter the word "Clinton" in the same sentence as "I support." It drove him so completely out of his mind that he just defaulted to Clinton hate as if he was scratching an involuntary muscular tick.

Madame President...has a nice ring to it....
