Oust Hillary from the Senate 2012?
This may be a bit extreme, but if she continues to allow her spokespeople to legitimize and laud Faux News and Rovian tactics, as well as allowing the hag-who-cried-sexism Geraldine Ferraro to spread lies about Obama's patent sexism, I say that we start a grassroots movement to oust the pseudo-New Yorker from her Senate seat in 2012. Another presidential run in 2012? Ha, good luck hanging onto your seat!

1. ABSOLUTELY
Her unknown, unfunded challenger in 2006 (Tasini) managed to get 20% of the primary vote. Imagine what a progressive candidate with a recognizable name and some fundraising capability could do. Sign me up!

2. Hillary will be ousted from the Senate in 2009.
By ousted, I mean replaced by the NY Governor after she assumes the presidency in January 2009.

You're not a secularist because you worship at the altar of Hillary.

43. Why do you think they'd oust her?
Clinton's not unpopular out in the real world. You guys have to be careful about believing the echo chamber you've created for yourselves.

5. Yes, she has to go. She must be ousted from the party for good.
The search for an opponent should be started immediately. Ideally, more than one good candidate should run, flanking her on both sides of her politics. She'll be drowning in the presidential campaign debt, and that will inhibit her ability to raise money for her senate campaign.

She is not a good Democrat in a state that deserves a real Democrat. She'll probably run for governor of NY between now and then, anyway.

7. There is not going to be much of a democratic party in 2012.
If there is one it will be hidden as McCain declares Martial Law because of an "Attack" by "Iran"

11. I'm up for it.
Put any other Dem up against her and we can make it happen.

I live in burlington, vt. Right across the lake from upstate new york. I'd work my ass off for that candidate.

13. If she doesn't get the nomination
She'll probably give it up as it was always just a stepping stone to the white house for her anyway.

28. and what does she have to show for it aside from
going along with Bush (IWR, Patriot Act, Bankruptcy Bill), using New York and running a despicable, failed POTUS bid.

She truly is a loathsome bitch.

17. I would like to see Robert Kennedy, Jr. holding this seat!
He's a true progressive. He's a true environmental advocate. And, he's a legitimate New Yorker. He deserves this seat.

In my opinion, Hillary is just wasting space!

removed herself from the Senate. Any Dem could run against her next time and win, just by publicizing everything she has said and done in this campaign.

21. I really don't think she represents our views. Plus, the job was just a stepping stone
for her.

The goal is not just to have someone with a D after his/her name, the goal is to get truly progressive people in office so we can make true progress without getting sidetracked by wars for oil.

I really hope a liberal challenger emerges soon.

She either wins or ensures a Rethug does...

I'm contacting all my friends and family in NY. They hate her already, so I'll simply encourage them to help oust the fucking carpetbagger. It's so clear she was only using NY in the first place.

No person with such a vindictive attitude should be in a position of power. It would be like voting for me and I would make a terrible senator.

It's just a way for her to claim she has elected experience. If she can't be president, she'll just go away.
