Measuring the antipathy here towards mrs clinton
are people so disguted with mrs clinton that when she finally packs it in you will actively work against her in new york? my guess is she would run for another term in the senate and i wonder if all the folks who supported her in the past would again, or if they just grown so weary of her that they just want them to go away.

personally i think she is a good senator but i am so disgusted with her and her campaign that i am tempted to say i want to see her completely and utterly defeated.

1. That's a decision for New Yorkers to make. However, I can't see why
they would challenge her re-election; she's been a pretty darn solid Senator for them.

2. I'm so thankful that I don't live in New York State.
I would enjoy nothing more than for Bill and Hillary Clinton to return to NY and FADE from the National Political Scene.

If I never see them on my TV set again, it would be too soon. :nuke:

21. And I bet the challenger would see a lot of funds come in
There is a real level of disgust.

Now, I will have to admit, her rhetoric tonight was not cutting Obama down. I think she has seen the reality in the past week, and knows she won't be the nominee. I think better of her than she has performed, and I think she will regress to that mean.

28. It could go either way for her depending on how she plays this out.
No Democrat has ever before run like a Republican against a fellow Democrat as she has run against Barack. If she decides to go out UGLY, I will pony up $$$ myself for a primary challenge in NY as my commentary on the ugly, divisive campaign she has run.

35. I'd be temprted to if she starts the crap up again.
If she runs a solid campaign and doesn't use wedge issues inside her own party AGAIN, I won't be so inclined to donate to such a challenger, but if she does, her challenger will get some cash from Missouri.

4. She's tolerable
When McAwful talks, though, I despise her worse than I despise Bush.

20. Um, Dem Senators are fair game in primaries
I think it'd be a waste of time as she can hold that seat however long she wants to, but Democrats are fair game in primaries.

8. When she goes back to the Senate will she vote to obliterate Iran?
She voted to obliterate Iraq, and, apparently has little remorse for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people that have been slaughtered as a result of Bushco's illegal invasion and mass murder that she supported so vigorously.

14. "..my guess is she would run for another term in the senate ...."
I dont think she'll run again.

If Obama wins the GE she wont have a need to continue using the NY Senate seat as a springboard to the Presidency as she probably wouldnt want to face an incumbent up for reelection in 2012.

If Obama loses the GE she would likely try again for the Presidency in 2012, and she still wont need to run for another term that expires at the same time.

She probably wont run again no matter what.

27. the reason i think she'll run again is the same reason i think mccain did it after 2000
she wants to take another stab at it, and if she is not in the senate she will fade into obscurity.

33. I may be wrong, but isnt her reelection not until 2012?
If yes, I stand by my prior post (she will be too old in 2016 for another try if Obama was reelected in 2012).

If not, she may need to run one more time, but no more than that.

17. I am so disgusted with Sen. Clinton that it carries over to her surrogates and Super Delegates
Gov. Grandholm, you no longer have my support. (not that she will ever see this, just trying to make a point)

18. What I'd find MORE intriguing is whether Bill moves his offices out of Harlem.
I can't believe the "vibes" are very good at this point.

She is not a Zell Miller or a Joe Lieberman by any measure. I am just disgusted with her endless pointless playing for 2012 campaign.

25. There are eyes on that Senate seat already
that's why they are trying to encourage her for VP.

I don't see her winning another term in NY for many reasons.

Mainly, embarrassment doesn't go over well.

26. I *despise* her. Endorsing "results" in MI and FL that no other country on earth could get away with
presenting as legitimate was the final straw for me.

There's not a country on earth that would not be BLUDGEONED in the world press for holding "elections" under these circumstances and claiming legitimacy. This is the disgusting, depraved horse pucky that Hillarity stands behind.

But from a NYC person who was beyond enraged by her using "my city" (it ain't Hill's city. Not even close) as a prop in her hate speech-

1) you would have to present a viable primary candidate to oppose her and

2) honestly, she's probably a pretty effective senator who has done a reasonable job representing our interests.

So speaking as one who DESPISES her, I'd probably still hold my nose and say what the heck.

The only reason she ran for Senate was to be elected President. With that out of the picture, she's got to find some other ceiling to break.

31. The thought of moving to NY to vote against Hillary Clinton
did cross my mind. Sure, my 1 vote won't make a difference, but as a black man who has been insulted as a lesser voter by her campaign, it'd be my way of sticking it to 'the man'. :rofl:

40. Like everything else, it's up to her.
She can be a great, and yes I mean GREAT, Senator if she decides to focus on that. I hope she has a long and productive career in the Senate. She needs to realize she will never be President. Tough but true. I bet she doesn't have it in her. Hope I'm wrong.
