:confused:

He is running against her. I guess you didn't hear that he announced his intention to run for president?

He may...Soros is putting his money behind Obama. He's like a mafia hitman to opposition Democrat candidates...not that Hillary can't already kill her own run.

George Soros, the billionaire New York philanthropist, has made maximum donations in the past to both candidates, for instance, and last week he faced a choice: support Mr. Obama, who created his committee on Tuesday, or stay neutral and see what Mrs. Clinton and others had to say. In this case, Mr. Obama won.
Mr. Soros sent the maximum contribution, $2,100, to Mr. Obama, the first-term senator from Illinois, just hours after he declared his plans to run.
“Soros believes that Senator Obama brings a new energy to the political system and has the potential to be a transformational leader,” said Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Mr. Soros.

She's been talking a lot about growing up middle class in middle america. Probably 'cause she knows that region is where she's weakest right now. I can't see her winning but if she did that'd be crazy to think we went Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton...then just watch, Jeb be next.

IMO, Edwards is the front runner if he wants it. Has he declared?

In the primaries, probably. But hold an election between Edwards, Clinton, & Obama and I bet Edwards would come out on top when including more than just those who vote in the Democratic primaries.

Isn't that a moot point?

If he can't make it out of the primaries, he essentially can't run. According to polls, it's going to come down to Obama and Hilary, nobody else has a snowball's chance from the dems' side.

Yeah, pretty much. Showcases the fatal flaw in the Dems' presidential strategy (lack of?), though.

I think Hillary will draw a lot of votes from women voters from both parties.

I think Obama will draw more votes from minority groups that did not vote previously versus another candidate getting votes from the bigots that have never voted.

I think Edwards is going to run into money problems. I think he still is paying off debt from his last run with Kerry.

I really don't like any of the three and will swing my vote towards Guiliani if that becomes a reality...(unless Joe Gibbs runs, of course )

Her best asset by far is Bill. Don't underestimate his impact when he gets out there and campaigns for her.

Yep. According to this study The Lovenstein Institute - Scranton, PA Bill has the highest IQ of any US President!*




*that study was apparently a hoax

As much as I believe it to be true, it's an urban legend.

They base that on part with their ability to make speaches? Now thats good science and no wonder Clinton ranks so high he could look one in the eye and lie about anything.
