happythoughts 0 #28 February 27, 2006 QuoteDude, whoa! Communication breakdown! I was honestly asking what you were about in your post. Re-reading my post, that was a little too much. Sorry. It was probably the inference that I support Hillary that got me wound up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #29 February 27, 2006 QuoteDidn't say I was picking a winner. This is the part that I have never understood, how did she win a Senate seat? It makes no sense to me. (Note - I didn't follow the race coverage) Even if it was all politics and favors to get the nomination, who voted for her? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #30 February 27, 2006 Not only should she run, if she does I will contribute money to her campaign to insure she wins. I think she will win the Dem. Primary and then be soundly beaten either by McCain or some other dark horse out of the RNC. I don't think anyone honestly thinks she will win except a few ultra-left-wing fanatical groups. Remember, she supported the Iraqi War. Expect to hear the word "Brittleness" often if she runs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crwtom 0 #31 February 27, 2006 one thing either party can learn from the past decades is ** senators don't win presidential elections - governors do. ** only JFK managed to disprove the rule and only very narrowly so hope the dems go for someone like Warner, Rendell or Vilsack Cheers, T ******************************************************************* Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #33 February 27, 2006 Schwarzenegger cannot run as he was not born in the U.S. As for Hillary winning in New York, if you remember, it was originally Hillary vs. Giuliani. Guiliani dropped out late in the game due to his prostate cancer. This brought in Lazio who had no chance at beating Hillary.

newsstand 0 #34 February 27, 2006 Ahnold can't run. Not a natural born American citizen. Hell a few years ago there were questions about McCain, I think. Born in Panama to American parents but not born in America, like two of my own kids. One of whom wants to be a politician, where did I go wrong? "Truth is tough.

tbrown 26 #41 February 27, 2006 Sure, why not ? It would settle the "will she run ?" question for starters. She's definitely not a knock kneed "closet Republican" type of Democrat, and she's not afraid of flinging a hatchet or two in a good political fight. As for running for VP, she won't do it, it would be a joke. It's all the way or nothing. She would for sure be a "serious" woman candidate, love her or hate her you can't ignore her, she's not some fringe weirdo like Ralph Nader. The voters will decide. She could just win it. Or not. Guess we'll never know until she runs. Not sure if I'd vote for her or not (aw heck, I probably would), but I think she should definitely run. Besides, who are the Reptilians going to run, Jeb ???

happythoughts 0 #45 February 28, 2006 QuoteI don't think Jeb will get there, I just don't see it. The major stumbling block for Jeb is age. He just looks like the goofy kid who delivers the newspaper. He has a lot of stuff in his favor. - He is married to a Hispanic woman and they have a son who appeals to the younger crowd. - He handles emergencies/hurricanes/etc with good media presence. - He supported the 10/20/life gun legislation that has reduced crime in Florida. - He is into the Florida "lifestyle" in a way. Clean water, environmental initiatives for non-polluting cars. - He doesn't try to be Mr Charming or play the sax to be cool. Jeb seems to reflect the opinions of the general populace. He doesn't screw up a lot. People generally like him. It is going to be interesting how he handles the Gulf of Mexico drilling issue, given his relations.

happythoughts 0 #48 February 28, 2006 QuoteBesides, who are the Reptilians going to run, Jeb ??? What is it that you particularly dislike about him? Just curious. Does he have a policy that upsets you? I've read a few of the initiatives on the state website and they seem like good ideas. He has funded his plans, implemented them, and there is some feedback on the progress. I respect that. That was the major issue that I had with Kerry. Nothing but vague generalities that could never be defined enough to implement. The do-nothing plan. Jeb has the normal funding issues that will always create factional disputes, but that's his day job to sort it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
