The Swift Boat attack producers would LOVE to see Clinton run. I remember during Bill Clinton's campaign there was a video of Hillary in her college days giving a VERY far left oriented speach. You can bet that ever since Hillary was first mentioned as a possible presidential candidate the Swift Boat folks have been gathering everything they can regarding things she said during those college days. If the Republicans had announced during these past two presidential elections that they were as far right as they've turned out to be, they'd have never been elected to office. The great majority of our population won't vote for someone who is shown to be on either of the extreme ends of the political spectrum. I voted for Bush in 2000, but for Kerry (actually, against Bush) in 2004. I'm very much a moderate. I've been very much anti Hillary ever since I saw/heard that college speach. She came across as much to far to the left to suit me. If she runs as the Democrat for president, I'll vote for McCain (who, by the way, will be the Republican candidate). I very much want this current administration out of there. They've been too far to the extreme right for my taste. As I see it, the best way to totally extricate them is to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2008. I could, for instance, vote for an Edwards/Obama ticket. Never though for Clinton. I see her as currently hiding her leftness to at least the degree that Bush hid his rightness during his elections.

You must be taking drugs, America is not ready for a female nor an non white person as president. I am not racist, just realistic.

I do not know. Even the Germans, who have even a more sexist culture than the U.S., elected a female Chancellor. Of course, it would help if the Republicans ran with a minority or female candidate (assuming they'd win the nomination, which is highly doubtful, but work with me here). I could see someone like Colin Powell winning. Of course, they'd elect a non-white candidate before they'd elect a female candidate. And they'd elect a female candidate before they'd elect a Jewish candidate. And they'd elect a Jewish candidate before electing an openly gay candidate. And they'd elect an openly gay candidate before electing an openly Atheist candidate.
