I think we can all agree, Kerry is just a sideshow - what we really want is 16 years of Hillary in the White House. I've written my letter promising a big donation if she is picked as VP, how about you?

Man, I love Hillary. I think a Hillary/Janet Reno ticket for 2012 would be ideal as well.

1. Oh, by the way...
...I don't think many of us here would disagree, that a Kerry loss in 2004 would be worth it for a Hillary run in 2008, right?

3. I think she's great, but
if she was the VP nominee it would completely overshadow any issues we would want to discuss. The media would drag out all of the Clinton "scandals" and we would have to talk about that instead of substantive issues.

I think Hillary needs to wait until the next open primary whether in 2008 or hopefully 2012.

11. All the wingnuts who hate her would come out of the woodwork
to vote against her. For that matter, there are some who are not that wingnutty who do not like her.

I don't think she has a chance. She would detract from the ticket. Let her take her chances in 2012.

9. No no not at all.
I will vote for Kerry - the Hillary thing didn't pan out like we thought it would. I would just like it even better if Hillary was VP.

13. A Clinton would be a distraction from real issues in campaign
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 12:28 AM by mouse7
There is already practically no discussion of issues. Hillary on the ticket would make sure not one issue was discussed between now and November.

Besides, I think there are better candidates in the party.

12. I don't know
Other than the fact that the right absolutely hates her, I haven't heard anything from her which makes me all that excited. She seems to be a centrist like Bill, and I would prefer someone more to the left. Not that I wouldn't vote for her, of course.

I, personally, couldn't care less if she ever runs, to tell you the truth. Not a fan of Hillary OR Janet Reno.

18. not a chance . . . but I might give $2000 if it meant . . .
getting Gary Hart into the White House . . . I still think he's the most qualified left-of-center person to be in that particular office at this particular time . . . alas, he disagrees . . .

20. You're kidding....I'd wouldnt' vote for her...NEVER...
...I hate nepotism, and don't like seeing people get jobs or positions because they're related to someone. I don't like her, her policies and her positions always feel like a finger in the wind. Honestly I was no fan of Pres. Clinton either, he pushed the party to the right. That said, he won on his own merits. There are plenty of women in the democratic party who deserve our support based on something more than having to pay contrition for their moment of public shame.

Never, nada. Well, unless she's the democratic nominee, wait, no, not even if she's the nominee. I would vote for her, but no money, no signs, none of my time.

24. Nope sorry
She made a tactical mistake not running in this election and "saving herself" for 2008.

Now she has to live with the fact that the bold man who did give this election his all has a real chance of getting elected in 2004.

And get Wes Clark for VP, lets get that national security issue air tight so no October surprise will rock the boat.

30. I would, but only if she dug up Barry Goldwater as her Veep
Wouldn't that be wonderful? The former "Goldwater Girl" and the long-cold corpse of Barry Goldwater running for President and Veep!

What the hell, we survived eight whole years of Reagan unconsciousness, right?

38. Actually...
...this thread's been going on since last night!

And for hours after I admitted it was a joke!

I wonder if any FReepers fell for it...but I don't think I want to go bother checking.
