YES! Bring her on! We need someone of her caliber BACK in the White House. Maybe, just maybe, she will be able to restore this country to what not only the world LIKES about us but what WE ourselves USED to be proud of. I just dare the righto-whackos to try and knock her down. They would finally get what they deserve-KNOCKED out of the beltway and hopefully so far they won't even be able to crawl back in. I, too, look forward to their veins popping. We'll see who laughs at health care then. WORLD PEACE COULD BE ON THE WAY AGAIN!!! Please, Mrs. Clinton, run, run, run right back to the Oval Office!

53% would vote for Hillary in 2008 Fox "News" apparently made a sad show of spinning the fact that a majority of voters in a Gallup poll said they'd vote for Hillary in 2008. Like it's a bad thing. I guess for Fox "News" a good thing for the country is a bad thing. Outside ...

When I saw the phrase "right turn" in that comment just above, I thought the complaint was about how Hillary has been making a "right turn" on every issue put before her for the past year.

And we all thought New York was a blue state. WTF?

I think just seeing the right turn into everything they've been trashing about the left would be worth the price of admission alone. It'll be truly fantastic to see them work to undercut her in every way, work to filibuster her judicial nominees and appointments. Not supporting here in the war. It'll be a hoot to see the military types instantly flip and believe it's now their patriotic duty to dishonor the commander in chief because she is a Clinton (and you know what that means). And I simply can't wait for socialized medicine. I'm pretty sure that half the right will have aneurysms and strokes from the veins popping right off the bat. It'll be a hoot.

There's no way she wins. That poll is absolute garbage. I can feel it. I would love to make several hundred bets on this with people who buy this poll... the bets would cash in, cha-ching-style, in a few years.

The CLinton years were truly a dark and mournful period in this Nations History; Record Employment, government managed so well we had record surpluses, social and environmental programs that made sense, foriegn policy that earned respect, a President that traveled abroad spreading democracy by example...it was a miracle the Country made it through that decade.

I truly prefer the glory of this Administration; creating false and fraudulent evidence to invade a foriegn land, budgetary ineptitude on a spectacular scale, Foriegn Policy created by Religious Fanatics, Spreading democracy at the point of a gun, environmental and social policy in violation of the basic foundations of humanity.....maybe we could elect another Bush...8 years is simply not enough time to destroy this great Nation.

"...will spend millions reminding the public of the dark side of the Clinton years..." I'd laugh hysterically, except that DaveD has demonstrated that there is a market for such BS and lies. I love the phrase 'minstrel show' - it certainly can't be applied to the Bush administration. 'Insane Clown Posse', on the other hand....

I don't care what polls show now, she has way too much baggage that her primary opponents and the GOP opponent will beat her over the head with.

Also, unless a popular strong conservative GOPer joins the race and comes to the forefront, the names in the ring right now indicate some type of moderate is going to get the nod, which will make it very difficult for her to compete with. She can only run from her liberal positions so far.

And if she's not elected, here's the first nugget for conspiracy theories explaining why the election was fixed.

But she was ahead in May 2005!

Get ready for "socialized health care, round 2" if she's elected.

Yes, I too long for that idyllic period of time between the fall of the Soviet Union and the arrival of terrorism in our own country. The Clinton era, when you could effortlessly increase your net worth in the stock market on a plethora of tech companies having no clue when they were finally going to turn a profit. It was the time of small ideas and actions when we could afford the luxury of that minstrel show otherwise known as the Clinton Administration. In all serious, though, these Hillary polls seem so useless until someone in the Democratic Party decides to mount a serious challenge, then we can see whether she maintains her statesman-like demeanor. At this point Hillary doesn't have to lift a finger to get these numbers.
