"Drag" her into the race?

English: "Ha,ha, ha!"

Spanish: "Ja, ja, ja!"

Focus! Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, we have pressing matters to take care of right now. Who am I kidding. This is the lack of focus society.

Doesn't really say much at this point as there is little if any competition.

Obama never had any competition. Bush II never had any competition. Clinton had no competition in his second round.

Hillary could easily win if the Republicans can't come up with any competition. And at this point, that looks like a real possibility.

Sadly, that situation is a discredit to our nation. It's inability to produce any real leadership. From either party.

Poll: Hillary Clinton tops 2016 field

Yawn...

Hmmm, no Rand Paul included in that poll?

I'd vote for Pee Wee Herman

If GOP keeps coming up with total morons as presidential candidates, they will lose even to Joe Biden.

Uh, Willy, I don't watch Fox thank you very much. I do a lot of reading from various sources and make informed opinions. I don't allow one new service to sway those opinions.

And having followed NBC for quite sometime ( usually watch them at night), I think I have a well informed opinion.

727,

You're living with a bag over your head if you think Hillary isn't the pre-race favorite, and judging by the rate at which the demographic of the electorate is changing....combined with the rate at which the TP/GOP isn't, Pee Wee Herman just might BE the losing Republican nominee.

I have no doubt Clinton could win the Democratic party's nomination, but she would have a tough time winning the country. She's such a polarizing figure and a lot of people genuinely hate her the way people hated Bush (different people, presumably). On either side, her candidacy would stir powerful emotions.

Christie is not gonna have a chance even if he put the doughnut down....

Not even close.

And who the hell is Rubio again?

Seven2Seven is clearly a case of "arrested development". I mean, asking of someone else actually "understands" something...! HUH?!?...

I think her health ( fainting all the time ) when a problem comes along should disqualify her.

I don't think anyone can take a poll seriously that only polls in certain states and then splits the demographics as 25% Rep, 34% Dem, 34% Ind. To find these numbers, click on the link in the article above and once on the web page scroll all the way down to the bottom and click the demographic link. So much for a realistic sampling. In my opinion, I think Christie would beat Clinton by a 3% margin.

Sorry you think so John Q, attacking the messenger rather than the message shows a considerable lack of intelligence. I stand by my statements. I mean, I read the articles on here, which shows more truth. And you forgot Dennis Miller who tours with O'Reilly

But then, I don't have to justify my opinions to you. That's what being informed does for educated people. They have informed opinions.

Sadly, I usually agree with your posts (other than the name calling)

To those of you who don't beleive this poll - did you also not believe the polls that said Obama would beat Romney? You have to face facts - you are in the MINORITY. The majority of people (thank God) do not think like you do.

I have been saying this for a while, so might as well again. If Clinton decides to run, the republikans will run a woman against her. Hey, a figurehead is a figurehead, whether Georgie W. or ANY republikan candidate, they will be under orders from the Uber Right Puppet Masters who told Goerge W. what to do and what to say. The same people who told Romney who to pick as VP and exactly who would be in his new ( oh ha ha ha ha, thank God that @!$%# never happened) cabinet.

Jeb won't run against Clinton. Rubio would be steamrolled against ANY democrat. And it seems a very remote possibility that the Uber Right Puppet Masters would allow Christie anywhere near the Presidency.

If the democrats run Hillary Clinton you are going to see Fox and the republikan party they control wage the filthiest, dirtiest most abusive campaign you have ever seen. You think they have played dirty with Obama? Just wait until you see the @!$%# the "independent" PACS throw at Clinton. They will gleefully drag her through every mud puddle and pile of manure they can find. They can't resist it. They can not resist the urge to dirty up this campaign. And because of that Clinton will kick their asses around the block.

I don't see a 69 year old with health issues being elected President. Only two Presidents over 65 have ever been elected (for their first term).

The average age of the past 5 Democrat Presidents is 49 (with Johnson who 'assumed the office' skewing that number up) when elected. Democrats like youthful candidates.

Shar J....I don't think anyone is ruling out the validity of the poll. I think the problem lies in the sampling methods utilized in the execution of the poll. If you don't think who you polls matters then I won't try to convince you otherwise. I have many other lessons in futility to undertake.

cLINTON IS A TRUE american!!

Gee she grossly failed as an administator in the State Dept and allowed Americans to be murdered due to HER lack of oversight. Yet I will admit she is better than the current joke in the White House...

The more the right wing trolls try to compare the left to the Nazi's and the communists the more obvious it becomes that they themselves are the mirror image of that which they accuse others of being.

Lets look at how the the conservatives compare to the soviet era communists.

The Soviets built a wall (iron curtain) around themselves and forced everyone to carry papers to confirm their identity. The conservatives want to build a fence around this country and force all non-whites to carry papers to confirm their citizenship.

The Soviets didn't allow the workers to organize, to fight for better wages and safer working conditions. The conservatives don't want to allow workers to unionize to fight for better wages and safer working conditions.

The Soviets micromanaged their peoples lives, telling them what they can watch, what they can read, who they can marry, what religion they can be, etc. The conservatives want to micromanage your life, telling you you can marry, who you can have sex with, how you can have sex, what books and movies are christian enough for you to watch, which religion you can be, etc.

The Soviets had no regulations governing their industry and allowed them to pollute freely, pay the workers barely enough to survive and force them to work in unsafe conditions. The conservatives want no regulations governing our corporations and allow them to pollute freely, pay the workers barely enough to survive and force them to work in unsafe conditions.

The Soviets didn't care about the environment except for the natural resources that could be exploited from it. The conservatives only care about exploiting natural resouces for profit and don't care wheter they destroy the environment in the process.

The Soviets had Pravda, a partycontrol propganda machine, the conservatives have Fox, a party controled propaganda machine.

Sounds to me like the conservatives had modeled themselves after the soviet era communists. But what is even scarier are the similarities between the rise of the Nazi's and the rise of the Conservatives. Both are extreme nationalists, both are extreme racists, both used propaganda to facilitate their rise to power, both drove their country into bankruptcy by ignoring infrastructure and pouring all their wealth into their military, both attacked countries without provocation based on lies, etc. etc. etc.

WHO CARES.

Can't we have just one year without Presidential campaigning and posturing?

One year is all we ask.

All this constant campaign mode does is keep dissatisfaction at the forefront amongst the masses.

Sane-2794278

Polls were useless.. until the republicants saw Romney ahead in one... then POLLS meant everything :)

@Ebeneser Howard

More liberal garbage produced by the liberal media. Guess what, I took a poll of my own...yesterday I asked everyone in my office (thats a total of 7 conservatives and one liberal) who they would vote for in 2016, Rand Paul or Hilary Clinton. 88% supported Rand Paul. Get it? Numbers can be skewed and manipulated to suit anyone's agenda. This poll, although likely random, was also likely conducted in a major metropolitan area like, say, Chicago, New York City or L.A.; guess what the overwhelming political preferance is in any metropolitan area... liberal! But of course a liberal poll supporting a liberal agenda that was conducted by a liberal news media outlet won't disclose any of that to the public. There was another poll conducted this week about Obama's approval rating; it has dropped sharply in the past month to 43% and all signs point to it's continuous steady decline. What do yo think about that?

I think you know nothing about the science of polling, and will do anything to deny support for a perspective that doesn't agree with your worldview. Don't worry, you aren't alone, most of them voted with you last November.

Wait, where is Bobby Jindahl?

At the bottom where a bottom feeder lives.

Here we go again with the media trying to influence the next presidential election to follow their agenda, and it hasn't even been two months since Obama was inaugurated for his second term.

It's a looooong time before November, 2016. A LOT can happen in the meantime.

What difference at this point does it make?

Honestly I can't wait for Hillary and Granda Joe to square off in the run up to 2016. Both are nasty and ruthless in politics. Both know far more than they are letting on about Benghazi. The dirt, hair, make-up, Grecian Formula and blame are going to fly. Being insiders and privy, I'll bet all sorts of other dust bunnies come out from under the rug.....

If I were in charge of the DNC, I'd be finding a plan "C" already..... just saying....

So funny that the exact same arguments against this poll (can't trust polls, faulty sampling, etc) were the ones used in the run up to the last election. Every repub was crying that the polls were wrong, run by the "lame stream media". And they turned out to be right on after all. But feel free to delude yourselves just as you did before, and just as Romney did.

Hillary sure is touching some nerves on the right. They know if she runs they are toast. Just like Mitch McConnell is scared to death of Ashley Judd, they try to make preemptive strikes on both.

And I have to laugh at some of you who don't believe the polls. I'll bet you were in shock last November. lol.

Let me start off by saying any serious discussion of 2016 presidential candidates that includes Joe Biden immediately disqualifies it as a serious discussion. Call me sexist if you want but as often as not, looks trump the message. Hillary looks like hell, another 4 won't improve that either, unless she goes in for some nip and tuck + melt some lard off her a$$. I could care less what any poll says about any candidate between now and November of 2016. Much will change between now and then. If things are bad enough, there may be no chance of any democrat winning. Conversely, if the true unemployment rate is 5% (not the phony 8% touted now), growth at 5-6% annual, wages increasing, low inflation, etc., there won't be a conservative alive who could win.

For GOP Hillary will be extremely tough to beat with Bill & Obama in her corner in 2016. She would make a good president.

It will be a Clinton/Warren ticket and the GOP wont have a prayer.

Quinnipiac.....really???? Nothing like trumpeting a poll conducted by a tiny university, in the middle of Liberal Land, that nobody ever heard of. Is anybody surprised that that a Republican didn't win the poll?

The Clintons are like hemorrhoids....a very unpleasant experience that just won't go away!

"From February 27 - March 4, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,944 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.2 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones."

I am so sick of these polls, there is no way that calling 1994 people for their opinions represents that 200,000,000 people are thinking. Polls like this are nothing more than a way to convince people to think with a herd mentality. When these annoying poll takers call me I've noticed that their questions are usually loaded and usually don't get to the actual issues. Most important questions can't be answered with a yes or no. As a result I never give them the answers they are looking for, and I'm sure many others feel the same way. Sadly the news media are the ones who most often abuse the use of polls, rarely explaining the questions asked or the manner in which they are asked.

CoRavensFan,

You are so delusional, all of those conservative conspiracy theories have been debunked long ago. The NeoCons tried to use that list to stop Bill from being elected and it didn't work, the entire world took it for what it was, MORE REPUBLICAN LIES. The conservatives have a long history of dirty tricks and lies when it comes to politics, they know they can't win fair and square so they try to cheat every chance they get. The more you post that BS the more people will reliaze you are nothing but a paid GOP troll.

And I guess Benghazi didn't happen either.

what this country doesn't need in the White House "God help us" is Hillary Clinton....the woman is a proven liar and a fraud and those that don't get it need to take their tin foil hats and rose tinted glasses off and get educated and informed...I don't know who should be in the White House ? , but I do know is , NOT HER , I have no problem with a woman POTUS just not her as the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th etc infact never would be good for the USA , she would be just a continuation of the downfall of the unUnited States started by her husbands smoke and mirrors administration and carried on by Bush II and the bad leadership we currently have now..she is not the answer to getting this nation back on track to prosperity since she is a part of the problem that has put us in this predicament both domestic and foreign in the 1st place !!!...who are they polling for these opinions ? communists , derelicts , village idiots...? NO ONE I KNOW HAS EVER BEEN POLLED NOR HAVE I BEEN EVER...this sounds like it comes from the "Josef Goebels advertising agency" to start to try to influence the outcome of the next election to boost this egomaniac...just pure bovine manure which Hillary is full of.....too bad the snipers missed her back in the 90's in Bosnia it would have saved the nation much grief...oh thats right that was another one of many of those little Clintonian fibs that are to easily overlooked by the foolish minions/lemmings that never even happened !!!...plus she was one of the worst SoS we have ever had , all she did was waste tax payers money in airplane rides since she accomplished NOTHING during her tenure as head of the state dept. for 4 years except set us back even farther in world prestige against this nations adversaries there is far too much dirty laundry in this womans past for me to become a POTUS and I have just one more comment ...Benghazi or will that be overlooked by the brain dead too ? or has it been already ?

Dumb Americans still apparently have a fascination with royalty.

Rest assured I won't be voting for any Bushs or Clintons in the future, on account of not being stupid enough to want to live under new royalty, like the idiot extremists of the left and right.

CoRavensFan

During the 8 years that Bush was in office not only did terrorists kill three thousand Americans on 9/11 but there were 64, count them SIXTY FOUR ATTACKS ON US DIPLOMATIC TARGETS, including embassies and consulates and the GOP tries to act like that never happened. Hey and while your talking about attacks on embassies and cousulates why don't you look up how many were attacked during the 12 years of Reagan and Bush senior, so far Obama has had the least amount of attacks on our diplomats that any president has had since IKE.

CoRavensFan think you make any longer ? May question, to all you Hillary lovers out their, was that poll done before she had blood on her hands from the Benghazi Massacre or after. Or like Hillary said who cares what happen in Benghazi Massacre, if you feel that way then I can see why her poll numbers are were they are.

RedRoverRedRover

Wait, where is Bobby Jindahl?

Not in Louisiana that's for sure. Man spends more time traveling and fund raising out of state than he does here trying to fix the pile of dog mess he's created.

TO: Lil Michelle who wrote:

"...Seems she [Hillary] is collecting unemployment and liking it, lol!

OK, name calling beginning in 3, 2, 1..."

A joke gone too far, but keep it up Republicans, you're not making any new friends with the hate speech, which sends serious voters directly over to Democrats.

Republicans, just another Hate Group.

Focusing really seems to be an issue ??

The Liberals are talking about 2016 like it's next years Super Bowl. And there team one, who ever it may be, we don't know yet. It is still a year away, but they won.

The staunchy left socialist liberal, illeagal immagrant, deceased, feminist lesbian will vote Clinton. Which is probebly who answered the poll.

How ever any middle of the roader and further right, NFW ( no phuckin way).

Liberals believe that what they believe is what everyone else should believe. A lot of Americia recalls people falling off the face of the earth, from "apparent sucides" while the Clintons were in power and scandle after scandel after scandel.

Benghazi, will not be forgotten. Liberials believe that the Honerable H.C. , kicked ass. Many say, it "does make a differance at this time"

Let us not forget, the state of this Nation is not very good. Stagnet to say the least. If it were not for the regressive liberal media, this party would be in shambles.

1. Hilary against Gov. Twinkie ? Gimme a break..
2. Hilary Pres and the House Dem majority by 2016. Texas and AZ purple thereafter.. BANK ON IT!!

Now I know the why the poll leans to Hillary a collage that leans off center to the left done the poll goo try NBC starting early and hype up Hillary campaign.

here r2den2, I will post it again so you can let it soak through your thick skull..........

During the 8 years that Bush was in office not only did terrorists kill three thousand Americans on 9/11 but there were 64, count them SIXTY FOUR ATTACKS ON US DIPLOMATIC TARGETS, including embassies and consulates and the GOP tries to act like that never happened. Hey and while your talking about attacks on embassies and cousulates why don't you look up how many were attacked during the 12 years of Reagan and Bush senior, so far Obama has had the least amount of attacks on our diplomats that any president has had since IKE

GOP: Simply run MONICA LEWINSKY against her!!

In my opinion, I think Christie would beat Clinton by a 3% margin.

Perhaps. But, he's too moderate to get the nomination. Why, he even nominated an openly gay man to the state Supreme Court. Now, the guy was unqualified and luckily wasn't confirmed (which was probably the point), but the conservatives will overlook that and foam at the mouth anyway.

deprogrammer - see if you can get this through YOUR thick skull - no everyone that votes is republican or democratic. Some of us are smart enough to see that there really isn't that much that separates those two parties - they both STINK.

Lib50- In response to your comment . It has nothing to do with being to the right/GOP this has to do with being honest with integrity and open with American people . When you got Clinton, Obama or even if the situation was on the other foot try to cover up a situation like Libya to me that is unconscionable especially when your own people were crying for help and our own Government sits back and does nothing. To me that is immoral. You tell that to the poor families of those who got killed in Libya.

Funny I thought these news strips & polls were supposed to express something that wasn't already common knowledge. If Mrs. Clinton decides to run, the job is hers, that's common knowledge, so why are you writing about it?

CoRavensFan: Man, your really scared of her aren't you!

Oh stop with the Libya BS. 64 attacks on diplomitc targets occured during the Bush administration and not one of you GOP trolls shed a tear for any of the dead. It is tragic when anyone dies a violent and untimely death but thses diplomats know they are putting themselves in harms way when they accept jobs in war zones. You need to find a new tune to play because this one is getting very old and tired. You tried to pin this on Obama, in fact you bet the entire campaign on this one issue and you got beat badly. Wake up and smell the Folgers or you will suffer the same fate this time. Americans are worried about real issues and want you to focus on real issues.

"WHAT DOES IT MATTER" Bengazigate will come back to haunt her!

So basically you are saying it's OK that your side killed people because the other side did it too?

Clinton's biggest problem going forward is whether or not the information regarding the Benghazi situation actually comes out and starts to point a negative light on Obama. if it does, he will throw her under the bus, just like he did in the 2008 primaries when he needed to play the race card because the polls then were showing Clinton pulling away. She fell on the sword to deflect any blame from Obama, and don't think Obama won't use it if he thinks it will help his popularity.

As for the poll, according to the demographics, which the site attempted to bury, 175 more Dems were polled then Reps. Doesn't seem like much, butin a small sample it makes a huge difference. That means if the 1,944 (661D, 486R, 797I) people polled were not skewed heavily to meet an agenda, a more accurate picture would have looked like this: 574D, 573R, 797I. Using the same percentages based on those that responded with the fairer numbers, Clinton's landslide wins become much closer. (vs Christie 43-39, vs Rubio 47-37, vs Ryan 47-40)

I also love how the article spends most of the time talking up the hypothetical 2016 Clinton vs. ??? angle because it shows a victory for the lefts agenda, and completely ignores the fact that even with skewed polling data Obama's disapproval numbers are higher (45%-46%). Using the fairer numbers his approval would be more like 42% with a disapproval of 49%.

She'llbe pushing 70 years old

but, "what difference does it make!!??"

Yep, another 4 years of Democratic dominance and another 4 years listening to the RIGHT Cry and Whine but I can live with Christie if he did Win, but the chances are very slim, the RIGHT comes off as a BUNCH of NUTS that have their heads so far up their Butt they really can't see, I was going to say SH_T but if their head is up their Butt that would be all they can see .....

deprogrammer:

Yet every one of those attacks saw a "strong" response from the curent administration, not ignore it or tell a political faslehood to cover it up.

Sane-2794278

She also beat Obama in all the polls at one time, and then proceeded to lose on a grand scale. Polls are useless

Actually, there's a little more to it than that. Yes, Hillary was the front runner for the Democratic nomination in the summer of 2007. However, two stories came out that summer, which seriously damaged her image. Along with the infamous Philadelphia debate, in which Obama and his little helper, Gigolo Johnny Edwards, attacked Hillary on a variety of issues including the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

The mainstream media, FIRST READ included, torpedoed Hillary's candidacy with a plethora of stories about her association with convicted campaign finance bundler Norman Hsu, and stories about Chinese dishwashers making minimum wage, who allegedly made thousands of dollars in illegal contributions to her campaign.

At the same time, the media allowed Obama to skate off unscathed when his best friend and next door neighbor Anthony Rezko was sentenced to a federal jail term on 16 counts of influence-peddling and political racketeering. The media also allowed Gigolo Johnny Edwards to escape scrutiny for his now confirmed affair with a filmmaker who was hired to work with his presidential campaign.

Funny how the media picks and chooses who it will / won't pick-on.....isn't it?

Hillary should have gotten the nomination in 2008. The DNC had absolutely no business disenfranchising it's own primary voters in Michigan and Florida. Especially when she won big in both states, and the momentum could very well have carried her to the top.

But, we got stuck with this schlameel who can't get out of his own way, instead. All because "it was time." Hmmm.

Interestingly enough, it was Bill's speech at the convention last summer that helped to put Obama over the top against Romney, and it was / is the Clintons who have held Obama's hand throughout his entire Presidency, and with the exception of the economy, who's advice and counsel have shaped his administration's domestic and foreign agendas.

And all that, after Obama's people called Bill a "racist" down in North and South Carolina back in 2008.

If it were me, I would have told Obama to go to hell, and to get Gigolo Johnny to give a speech for him.

Hillary will make a fine President, IF the media decides not to defecate on her this time. It sure would be nice if the media would give her the same pass that it's currently giving to Obama.

But then again, NOBODY has ever gotten this treatment before now, and we are not likely to see it ever again.

And I guess Benghazi didn't happen either.

Benghazi happened, just not the way republicans seem to wish it had. Meantime, after lying to get us into Iraq, Bush was reelected. While Benghazi was a tragedy, it is pretty low on the scale when weighed against Beirut, Iraq and 9/11. So despite your efforts to turn it into something else it won't work. And as for all that old anti-Clinton bullcrap, who CARES? It's crap, we don't believe your old conspiracy theories. Get out of your bubble.

Out of a little over 1900 people who answered the survey, 34% were dems, 34% were libs, 25% were Republicans and 7% didn’t know what they were. With that sampling, would you really expect a different result? Y’all are so funny and gullible!

Sane-2794278

She also beat Obama in all the polls at one time, and then proceeded to lose on a grand scale. Polls are useless.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

she didn't lose on a grand scale... the DNC got pissy with FL and MI, and only ended up counting half their votes, where Clinton was leading big time.... after that the snowball got rolling Obama.... the DNC fixed it to nominate Obama

2016 is a different animal... if Clinton runs, she is the closest thing to a slam dunk in Presidential election history... and everyone in the GOP knows it as you can tell every time you see one of them interviewed about it. She is easily the most qualified politician from either party and there is a line of GOP guys a mile long who will say that outright.

If she runs, the GOP has a major problem.

Hillary definately has the guts and balls that Mr Obama lacks. Although, I would have more respect for her if she had left her sexual predator philandering husband.

What does it matter how many Americans are dead as a result of another 911 terrorist assassination attack? What does it matter if Hillary is too old and couldn't even manage the State Dept, let alone the WH? What does it matter that she can't control her emotions when under pressure? What does it matter that she stood by and watched Obama lie to the nation and the world? What does it matter what the polls say nearly three years prior to the election? What does it matter that we have heard nothing from her about her positions on the various issues, the libtards will vote for her no matter what she says, even if what she says is totally moronic.

Clinton as President...again? May God have mercy on our country.

If Hillary is elected at least Bill will be able to use the WH beds to screw all the interns he can get his hands on without worrying about having to lie about it or be impeached.

Only a certified Dimwit would vote Dem a third time after the certified failure that is in the WH now...........oh, wait a minute.

dartatak

After this last election nothing would surprise me.

It's barely into 2013 and you're all up in arms over Hillary, pro or con, in 2016? You all make my boring life seem extremely exciting.

CoRavensFan - Look, the same could be said of anyone, including yourself, when using others deaths to tie into how anyone might perform a job and is, quite frankly, extremely pathetic. If I were to use your standards, I could link you to every one of those deaths and including every death from 9/11 with the reasoning of the following: You are an American, you voted, or you simply posted about such subjects. I suspect you're some college graduate who is so full of yourself that you believe yourself to be more righteous than God himself. You lost all respect with that long diatribe.

all you Bill and Hill Clinton lemmings the media gives this bimbo(no I don't respect liars or lying draft dodgers in elected gov't office no matter what political affiliation) to many passes for failure so don't let the reality of this woman get in the way of your delusional belief in her..wake up and drink some coffee instead of the Clinton flavored tart and not sweet "lying lemon koolade" and BTW I'm not a republican...I'm a libertarian...so don't go down your fall back faux news repugnant BS argument when you don't have a leg to stand on with that with me since I don't watch TV except for baseball , Big Bang Theory , Married with Children reruns and F1 racing

Hillary would be a terrific President of the US.

She truly has serious health issues--that have never been disclosed. This may make it hard for her to either run or succeed.

Christie is too fat, which brings up other Health Issues.

The Election is over 3 1/2 years away, but there are some very good candidates from both Parties. Jeb Bush, married to a Hispanic woman, Marco Rubio, Hispanic, Condeleeza Rice. Jeb Bush is much more of an Intellect than his brother, very calm, and has shown he can do the job---Florida--different personalities. Hispanic vote may go to the 2--Bush or Rubio.

Who other than Hillary, can be a viable Democratic Candidate. Let's hope Hillary will be over her health issues in 2016, and take on the Job. She's a smart, logical Candidate who gets things done--There truly is a split between Obama and her. They never agreed; she taking over the Presidency while Obama plays at his job..

Why would anyone even think she would want to run? She's been through it enough times in her life. Maybe she would like to just stay home and play with her grandchildren, as she and Pres. Clinton, have spent the better part of their lives in public service.

And CoRanger fan: do you really think anyone is going to read thru your dissertation! Come on get a life!

Benghazzi is a dead issue! It's been investigated by every agency the GOP controls and they only came up with the fact that under Bush the diplomatic funds for embassies had been cut severely which caused the lack of security and the dependence on cheaper local security which proved worthless.

Who is anyone kidding... The Republicans will self-implode again. The hard right crazies have taken over the party and they will never allow anyone who is a moderate to be their candidate. As a result, it will be quite awhile before we have a Republican President again.

"What difference does it make!"

@Massachusettz

(my post 1.46)More liberal garbage produced by the liberal media. Guess what, I took a poll of my own...yesterday I asked everyone in my office (thats a total of 7 conservatives and one liberal) who they would vote for in 2016, Rand Paul or Hilary Clinton. 88% supported Rand Paul. Get it? Numbers can be skewed and manipulated to suit anyone's agenda. This poll, although likely random, was also likely conducted in a major metropolitan area like, say, Chicago, New York City or L.A.; guess what the overwhelming political preferance is in any metropolitan area... liberal!

I quite obviously know much more about the science of polling (and debating) than you do. You offered no explanation to my post or the poll, no rebuttle; all you did was make a comment and then try to insult me, typical of a liberal. And what world view would you be talking about? The one where Obama invites the U.N. to overthrow the U.S. government and our Constitution in Agenda21? Oh wait, that's the liberals' world view. My political affiliations don't have a world view, that's all you and yours pal. Get your @!$%# together and stop making a fool of yourself.

You can't just poll libs and think this poll holds any water.

And other comments along that line.

Republicans were shocked (shocked!) when Romney lost last Fall, even though that was exactly what most polls predicted. Not Fox New's Frank Luntz, granted, but virtually every other poll.

If the GOP continues to ignore mainstream polls, they should prepare to be 'shocked' by election results every time.

This is really absurd, it feels like Nazi Germany

Another Godwin Law violation alert! This time Seven2Seven gets the booby prize.

Real creative thinking, Repubes. Yes, that, more free association about how to criminalize abortion, and "Wah! Wah!" certainly win elections!

Hillary is a leader is all respects but the time has come to stop pushing and let time take its course!

Sure she would have been much productive then Obama, as she is a worker not a dreamer; but the media---particularily NBC tore her apart and swayed the votes away only because she was a Woman and a Dem isn't that right Mr Laurer! You couldn't deal with it so you tore her apart through jokes and disrectfulness!

However she has put in more than enough time trying to help this Hopeless country. IF she runs great but if she doesn't then this country needs to find someone of intelligence, compassion and a sense of what it takes to internally battle with ignorance!

We need a leader not a selfish politican or a dreamer.

And this is the real reason for the GOP's Benghazi obsession.

Hillary would be worse than Obama....and that it is nearly impossible to do

And yet they are both far better than all of the republican presidents since Eisenhower!!!!!

What this country needs is someone that doesn't affiliate themselves with either the republican or democratic parties. someone that the special interest groups and lobbyists haven't bought (yet).

Wow, the GNoP talking points never change, do they?

"They oversampled Democrats."

"It's the liberal media."

"You can't poll just a few thousand people and make any kind of prediction."

Poor GOP. Their lack of science & statistics has made them Neanderthals. They can't believe the world has changed and left them behind.

Pee Wee Herman is more likely to win the Presidency than Hillary

Are the Republicans gonna nominate Pee Wee? He'd certainly be an improvement over the candidates they've offered up over the last few elections!!

Gilboagirl:

BUSH, BUSH, BUSH, AND MORE BUSH---definitely living in the past- 4 1/2 years later. The mind is shrinking of cognitive memory.

No, anything in the last 4 1/2 years belongs to President Obama---stop the excuses for a very inadequate President who knows nothing but Scare Tactics to the US people---It is Obama's Team who is at fault for Benghazi and other attacks on Embassies during his Administration. Golf is his favorite activity, not Foreign Issues. So much has been covered up by a bunch of crooks.

So far, no one from this Administration can give a straight answer to what happened. Eric Holder, the biggest Liar of all, along with Gibbs, Panetta (why do you think he stepped down from Sec. of Defense); and the Intelligence Agencies who confer with Obama. Hillary stepped away, also--even tho she had health problems. Maybe this is why she has no respect for Obama. She took the hit for Obama's shirking his responsiblities (4-6 people murdered) no interest in the crisis, and sleeping at the job! Such stress to be blamed on the former Secretary of State--- It's"Obama's Fault".

I thought Ross Perot was Pee Wee Herman...

Wow - the far right is ALREADY terrified of Hillary! LOL! With the slate they are looking at, it's easy to understand why.

Hillary Clinton would make a fine president.

But are the misogynists ready or willing to vote for a woman?

I guess I hit the nail on the head !!..reading many of these comments "the brain dead" are already giving Hillary a free pass for failing in Benghazi and as SoS...and no less blaming the Bush administration that was a fail , but has been out of office for over 4 years for an incident clearly not under his watch !!....I don't get it ?????????...when is the Obama administration going to be held responsible for being such magnamonius screw ups also with these lemmings ??????? really !!! no wonder this country is so phukked up any more....and going by their reasoning then 9/11/01 was Bill Clintons fault then !...since he had his chance to get the conspirators of that tragic attack during his time in office and let them slip away and he was only out of office less than 9 months from when the attack occured...Bush was out of office 48 months and Benghazi was his fault because ??? the Obama/Clinton state dept. left the embassy personel dangling in the wind calling for help...thats total phukklogic to me.....???????????????if I was odered to take a hill by any of thses idiotic cowards .you can court martial me now..I wouldn't follow them ...not unless they went 1st..but you know they would hide in the rear with the gear..like the.pogue dip sheetz they are

Strange that the GOP chooses the three killed at Benghazi to shed crocodile tears over - just because the Secretary of State is going to beat the pants off them in the next election.

Personally, I would like to see a liberal run in 2016, since I have not seen a Liberal President in my lifetime. If the teabags can get people like Rubio to be 'serious' contenders why can't we get a liberal instead of the closet Republicans we've had in Obama and Clinton. Seriously, if he didn't have the last name Obama, I could've sworn Romney was in the WH.

If Hillary Clinton goes up against Clowns like Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush it will be a Guaranteed "Win" "Win"

OH NO, NOT HUMPTY DUMPTY HILLARY!!!!!!!!

What if she has another great fall?

What if she has a headache?

Will she still be able to answer that phone at 3 am?

Barrack Hussein didn't feel it necessary to answer the phone for our Americans in Benghazi.

Will she be able to bear the burden of being in the Oval Office where Billy was so busy staining blue dresses?

She's looking awfully haggard nowadays.

Regardless if she runs or not, it would be nice if she and Billy Bob returned all the sh*t they stole from the White House when they left.

Typical Liberal country bumpkins, take whatever they can and make the American people pay for it.

Rubio/Cruz 2016

At 70 - in 2016 - Electing Hillary "Grandma Moses" Clinton would be very entertaining - the girl ain't getting no younger - in age - or in looks

Bill was opting for younger - many years ago - ala Monica Lewinsky

Hillary, Barack and Chuckles Biden handling of Benghazi - speaks volumes of their incompetence

I'm republican and the most disturbing thing about other republicans in this thread: How badly you guys are underestimating Clinton.

This is not 1993 when she was a First Lady taking her first crack at Hill politics and getting roughed up.

It's 20 years later and she now has been Sec State, Senator, is very well respected internationally and has a very deep level of experience.... (while I don't necessarily agree) a LOT of centrists in the US view her as being a two for one president that will help restore US credibility throughout the world and bring power and political savvy to the WH from day one in office which is desperately needed in these very tough times.

If you guys just keep on quoting the same old tired cliches about her, not only don't they fly anymore, but they make the GOP look like a bunch of out of touch guys.

Deprogrammer, Hey Einstein, can You post a link to all the Embassy attacks, the 60 some odd You are talking about please ? You need to get Your head out of Barry's arse and come up with some of Your own original thoughts. Conservatives want dirty air, kill grandma, hate baby's, all that happy BS.

This is all we need another liberal, lying, disgusting excuse for a women, as the leader of a world power! She screwed up and couldn't handle it as the US Sec. of State and now this moron wants to be the Prez? It just gets better and better....LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think about it, I don't know about Pee Wee Herman, but I'd vote for Ralph Wiggum. He surely stands for something(even though he hasn't figured out what that is yet.)

Hillary and her cankles will be on one side and Rubio on the other.....both bought and paid for by the globalists and their loyalty cemented to Israel. Those who really run things won't care which one wins. They are both controlled by the same puppet strings.

Don't think HILLARY will run!

How is this surprising? As long as we have a country where over half the people don't pay taxes but are able to vote to have the rest of us pay more taxes to support them, they'll keep voting for the candidates that allow and sustain that policy.

Real American First:

No, no relation, but I am Marchant (Marshawn) Lynch, Seattle Seahawks Football player!

I believe she is more qualified then Obama she has more flight hours then he does, can spin the truth with the best of them. Has proven abilities to lie (while Bill was in office) is good at doing nothing and passing the buck.Only thing she lacks is b-ball and golf.

Hillary will probably have strong support. Anything is possible in a world where lying idiots like Obama and draft dodging sexual predators like Bill Clinton are elected as POTUS.

If a community organizer can fool people and get elected, anyone has chance.

Hillary looks like a tattoo artist with the pony tail.

US 1776...

If Obama doesn't get with it, hillary won't stand a chance.

To bad obama didn't start having bipartisan leadership meetings as well as specific sitdowns with GOP rank and file 4 years ago rather than ignoring them until 2010 and then subjecting them to ridicule in 2011 going forward. We would probably of had a much stronger recovery than we do now. If obama plays the same games as he played in his first term we will have some real economic challenges ahead., especially if we are still under some type of QE.

Since when does popularity equal the ability to lead? Leadership and popularity should be mutually exclusive when making the right choices to lead a nation back to prosperity. The easy road has already been tried and we are still living with the example of a failed economic policy in terms of jobs, income, and higher taxes on the middle class.

If you want to understand leadership issues in this country read "American the Beautiful" by Dr. Ben Carson. You may just fall in love with the potential for America again.

Next

The easy road has already been tried and we are still living with the example of a failed economic policy in terms of jobs, income, and higher taxes on the middle class

You must be talking about those failed trickle down/supply side economics republicans screwed up the country with. We reject those failed policies.

Self proclaimed "Modern Day Progressive" Hillary campaign bumper stickers:

• Clinton - 2016 Benghazi - Where is that ?
• Clinton - 2016 I will protect ALL Americans
• Clinton - 2016 Only male interns need apply
• Clinton - 2016 Watergate - White House wine
• Clinton - 2016 Haiti relief - Bill's relief
• Clinton - 2016 Sundays are MY personal time
• Clinton - 2016 Supported by Macy's big girl division

Mr. Obama's $ 500,000 per person "personal time" initiative to support his agenda officially turned over to the Hillary campaign.

At least if Hillary becomes president then men will stop being called sexist by the left, just as whites are no longer called racist by the left. Oh, wait...

Demonizing, generalized talking points, it's what drives the left.

Polls are useless. Stupid that what Mitt thought. It will be great to see rush's head explode.

300 million Americans and only Bushes and Clintons to choose from ? What are we, a third world country ?

She's had a brain injury - of course she'd be the candidate to beat !

I still remember the scandal with Bill and Monica. de Facto VP Hillary got all bowed up on camera, red in the face, veins sticking out on her neck, leaning forward at the reporters and yelling about the viscous lies and attacks from the conservative monsters. This sparked the "stand by your man, Tammy Wynett remembrances among reporters. Then the blue dress was brought forward into evidence. Her ability to make assessments was always suspect with me, since she didn't even deal honestly with her own husband's messing around. Now we have the Ambassador asking for help because his situation was so dangerous and he dies because Hillary's Dept couldn't figure it out when the ambassador himself was telling them the situation. She testified she couldn't tell the important messages from the background noise junk because she gets thousands of messages per day. He's a freakin Ambassador for crying out loud. So, No I wouldn't vote for her if she were the only candidate. I'd rather leave the office vacant and wait for someone else. But I can see how the people who want free citizenship, bigger benefit checks, more free education, free homes, mortgage reductions, free cell phones and free medical care would be all for her. And since they are more than 50% of the population I'd say her chances are pretty good.

Well all you teatards, birthers, flat earthers, religious fanatics, mindless dittoheads, evolution deniers, Fox noise cultist, conspiracy theorist, gun crazies and all around 15^th century Republicans ---as I said 24 months ago, you better get used to President Obama because he's not leaving office until January 2017. And if you don’t come up with some new ideas and find an entirely new group of leaders, you’re going to have another President Clinton in 2017.

MSNBCFME

"Hillary will prevail over Christie, but it will be closer than 8 percentage points.

It will be the classic, "Honey, grab your purse, let's go vote for Christie." She nods affirmatively, but inside the voting booth, left alone to her conscience and the full weight of history, voting with the interests of her self, her daughters, and her granddaughters in mind, she votes for Hillary, thinking "If not now, when, if not Hillary, who?"

Combined with enough men who feel the same, it will be Hillary, and the glass ceiling over the Oval Office will be shattered once and for all."

I really hate posts like this. DONT vote for someone simply to break a ceiling. Vote for someone who is a LEADER and can help America. The whole notion of voting for someone because they will be breaking gender barriers or color barriers is just as unproductive as voting to prevent those barriers from being broken.

TLDR, Voting based on breaking barriers is equivalent to voting based on preventing barriers from being broken

No sence -

If only you could have gotten that point across 4 years ago.

Of course Hillary would win... look at the GOP track record.

First, they will toss Christie out because he shook hands with Obama and republicans HATE anyone who has been civil to Obama.

Bush the 3rd will not be able to over-come his name.

And that leaves the GOP with a trove of extremist, christian fundamentalists, who will spout the exact same thing we heard last year.

The GOP will talk about rape once a week, and make more ridiculous statements about women raising rape-babies because they are "gifts from god" (thanks for the rape, god).

Then the GOP will remind everyone how evil homosexuals are, and talk about your children learning about *gasp* gay people (cue scary music).

Then the GOP will quote the bible at EVERY SINGLE EVENT... they will "boo" gay soldiers again, chant for poor people to die again, and explain how the rich are struggling (cue baby crying).

The will argue that the polls are wrong, claim that their new extremist candidate will "win in a landslide"... and be shocked when they lose, AGAIN.

Why? Simply because extremism does not win elections. It's as simple as that. And the current GOP is full of nothing but religious extremists.

@hardtostarboard

If our economy is that good by then, @!$%# I'd vote democrat..... let's be honest though what do you think the odds of that happening are, 5%? 0%? -1000%?

I have nothing against Clinton, but I do wonder if Hillary would use the opportunity to get some pleasuring in the oval office and throw it in Bill's face. Stating "What goes around comes around, dickhead! I am the leader of the free world! What ya gonna do, divorce me?" Hell hath no fury.

Hillary ALLOWED her husband to HUMILLIATE her in front of the entire nation and world. When he was Arkansas's Gov. he had a girl in every car, closet, and desktop just like he did in the W.H., but not to the previous extent because, he couldn't get away with it. She KNEW about it then, and she decided that she and her husbands POWER were more important than her OWN SELF RESPECT. She CLAIMS to be a feminist, HAAA. I would never vote for someone who ALLOWS a man to treat them in that manner....NEVER......EVER.....EVER!

In all honesty ThereIsThre......., absolutely 0, zip, not a snowballs chance in hell it will. Obama has made sure of that. As it looks now, I'll be happy if we're not embroiled in civil war within 2 years. Hows that for low expectations. Our economy is hanging by the thinnest of threads. In order to be funded, Obamacare will suck up too much disposable income from the middle class that otherwise would have been used to purchase goods and services, thus tanking the economy, not just back into recession, but a full scale depression.

She CLAIMS to be a feminist, HAAA. I would never vote for someone who ALLOWS a man to treat them in that manner....NEVER......EVER.....EVER!

Give me a fricken break. You would not vote for Hillary no matter what. And do you give psychic readings? You sure have no problem reading Hillary's mind.

Hillary 2016

King Fish
CoRavensFan think you make any longer ? May question, to all you Hillary lovers out their, was that poll done before she had blood on her hands from the Benghazi Massacre or after.

You nutcases really think the American people care about Benghazi? Get serious.

Hey CoRavensFan -- that "Clinton murder list" is even stupider than the Obama was born in Kenya garbage. Only a total moron would believe either. So tell us -- what's the count up to today 50, 100, 1,000, 50,000, 200,000 or 200,000,000,000,000,009???

hardtostarboard-

absolutely 0, zip, not a snowballs chance in hell

Isn't that what you said about Obama's reelection chances? One thing history has clearly shown us is that Republicant's suck at predictions.

Joel, hey moron, are you to stupid to google it yourself. How old are you? I should have to provide a link for anyone who isn't under the age of 18. I was alive, and paying attention to politics long before Fox Noise, where you get all your info, was even a thought.

You said it yourself newday, Bush family = damage, Clinton family = forward. Bill was the best president in my lifetime, and I go back to Truman. I suspect Hillary to be smarter then Bill. I think she can keep it in her pants.

NDDR: Example to back you up. John Adams, great; the Whig John Q. Adams, not so great.

Hillary will reverse that, topping her husband.

I agree, Exito and Johntho. There is no doubt in my mind that Mrs. Clinton would do the job admirably.

But I can't get over my unhappiness with families seeming to own the Presidency.

i am neither dem or repub or teaperson , i remember chinagate (clinton) & bushes wars on false info & i believe that in 2016 , we will be such a mess that anyone will be a potential winner if they can lie long enuff & to enuff ppl .

Clinton was the best President going back to Truman? You must have low standards. 2 months after taking office Clinton gave us the highest income tax increase in our history....90%. That is what gave him a budget surplus. That, and the fact he wouldn't go to war to avenge American deaths as he ignored 11 different attacks on the U.S. by foreign countries and terrorists thus saving his precious budget surplus.

Then, of course there was the Whitewater mess where both Bill and Hillary were involved with illegal deals that they bought themselves out of. And let's not forget he was impeached by congress....by both dems and reps...because he lied and had his "cigar" affair. And now Hillary falls on her sword because she lied about Benghazi and failed to act when asked to help. I think we have had enough Clintons in our government....let's look for some honest candidates.

That would be Hillary. She learned from the best, Bill the biggest liar the public has ever seen.

I think she can keep it in her pants.

What a standard to measure somebody's leadership abilities - whether she can keep it in her pants. Read the book "Unlimited Access" and get a real perspective of her leadership skills. The book is mainly about BJ Billie but there is quite a bit of insight into Mrs. Pantsuits.

"But I can't get over my unhappiness with families seeming to own the Presidency."

Newday, I disagree, shouldn't we as Americans look for and vote for the person we feel is the most qualified for the job? Regardless of family ties. Give you and example. We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the Roosevelt's. Teddy was pretty good as a progressive republican, did more for our natural resources the almost all the presidents put together, and Franklin saved this country with his leadership. Started Social Security, and would have done something about our horrible health care system if he would have been allowed. Even Teddy was calling for National health care in 1909. Hillary would have my vote over all the republicans I see. Even Governor Christie would not come up to her interest in the working people of this country.

It is gonna be a Clinton in 2016, but not hillary. The spectre of Benghanzi will haunt her until the grim reaper comes to collect her old bones. Did you know that Bill and hill met in college becuase they were interested in the same woman. As many people intensely dislike her as like her.

Mr. you are just another hater, you said, "2 months after taking office Clinton gave us the highest income tax increase in our history....90%. That is what gave him a budget surplus."

He also created the biggest boom with the money he rightly took from those that could afford it most. He reinvested it into infrastructure and that created jobs. He also shrunk government which by the way both things were more responsible for the fixing the mess left by Reagan/Bush then the tax increase. I stand on my statement, Clinton was by far the best president going back as far as Truman. Nobody else made America great. Especially after following the dark days of Reagan when the wealth inequalities got its start.

Again Johntho why do you hide behind an alias. Come out into the light. if Hillary runs in 2016 so will Palin. it will be a bitter and nasty cat fight all the way. But then Hill will be with her girlfreinds Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein in a threesome.All of them old, used and quite Botoxed to the max. Can you say Keating 7?

"What difference does it make?"

Johntho: The Roosevelts are a bad example, they shared a name. Theodore and Franklin had a very distant family relationship that renders it meaningless. They were fifth cousins. Theodore was more directly related to Elenore, his niece.

Here is the problem: One of the biggest advantages in being a family name going after the Presidency is name recognition. That may defeat other, lessor known candidates who may actually be better for the job.

Do you really want Jeb Bush to be seriously considered as a contender to the Presidency, given the disaster his family has been for the nation?

John Q. Public: Palin will not run. She is allergic to work, wanting only the limelight, since she is a narcissist supreme (and a stupid one) nor would she be taken seriously if she did. She has turned herself into a national joke.

Sane-2794278 wrote: "She also beat Obama in all the polls at one time, and then proceeded to lose on a grand scale. Polls are useless". Check your facts son. In actuality Ms. Clinton was denied the Democratic delagates from the states of Michigan and Florida in 2008 for technical reasons that would have put Ms. Clinton over the top and would have had her defeating Mr. Obama. There are many conspiracy theories as to why the DNC involved themselves in this type of manipulation of delegates. There are those in the Democratic party that felt that a female could not have possibly beat John McCain and therefore petitioned the Clinton's unsuccessfully to drop from the nomination process. Ironically, McCain seemingly picked Palin as a running mate to counter the mere possibility of a Ms. Clinton victory. (Although this backfired on a grand scale). It is clear (check the numbers for yourself) that if the delegates from both Florida and Michigan were counted that Ms. Clinton would have had the numbers to garner the Democratic nominationin in 2008. There are also many inside the Democratic party that disputed the Obama nomination because of this controversy. Many pro Clinton Dems (and trust me the Clintons were very popular and still are) chose to flee the Democratic party in its' entirety (to both Repub and Independent) in 2008 because of the controversial Obama nomination process. I left the Democratic party after 2008 feeling that Clinton was the far better choice (I still believe that). I would vote for Ms. Clinton heartbeat and hope that she does run in 2016. We desparately need someone who can lead this country bnack to where it belongs.

Johntho

"I think she can keep it in her pants."

Keep what in her pants?

The Democrats win because they run younger candidates against the GOP's rich old men. Running a rich, old woman will lose the election for them. The voters want a younger person. They prove that over and over. The GOP has yet to figure that out.

If she couldn't continue on her current job due to illness, etc, how do you expect her to run a country ?

Wow the liberals must be worried about the next election. The liberal biased media is already campaigning with b.s. liberal polls in a vain attempt to make sure the liberal, spendthrifts stay in office. I think by the time President Zippie's novelty act runs out, too many people will be sick of the empty, opaque b.s.

I'd like to know why most dems...including johntho....who don't like what someone says....even if it is the truth....calls that person a "hater"?? You dems have got to respect other views...even if they don't agree with you. I've never seen so many libs calling reps haters. Sure, it probably happens from reps to libs, but not nearly as much. Are you trying to perpetuate what Obama has been pushing....class warfare??

Da Noid, big difference in Bush III and Clinton II, and yes, I do believe I'd be more than happy with her as my President. The men have had a long, long time to mess this country up and appear to be on the road to success in that mission, time for a good, smart woman to clean house and get us back on the road that we need to be on. I think she is the woman to do it, which is what scares the crap out of most republicans, especially the male block of republican voters and those already in elected offices.

No worries Lil Michelle -I'll be more than happy to wait for her, work on her campaign, and vote for her.

I'm going to have to agree with "danoid", for once...

Union, you better not make too many assumptions:

World Will Not Be Better With Women In Control

“Once you control for power, gender makes no difference in infidelity rates. The more power a man or woman possesses, the more likely he/she is to report cheating in the past or intending to cheat in the future.”

“When people claim that “men are more likely to cheat than women,” they should really just be claiming that “powerful people are more likely to cheat than less-powerful people.” It’s impossible to disentangle gender and power when you live in a culture that conflates the two so profoundly.”

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2012/11/16/we-cant-blame-everything-on-powerful-men/

Women aren't any different as men as many would like to believe.

It takes two people to cheat. And last time I checked, Monica knew Bill Clinton was married.

I agree with Dan, for once I agree with DaNoid

In a Quinnipiac poll out Thursday...

Reading is fundamental.

Yes, I know the poll but not the DETAILS of an obvious bias piece of crap....

Da Noid... brains are fundamental

and what rock have you been hiding under?

Patricia, the rock above the deep sink hole you came out of.

Agree that Bush was a superior guy..............at f%$%&^ the country for a long time.........Why don't we elect some more Republicans do it ever better??

jblast your fear is showing this morning as well as your near stupidity. I know it is difficult now that you have to admit the person on constant attack of President Clinton was also in an adulturous affair at the same time he pointed fingers (marrying your tramp does not make her any less of a tramp), she had the option of holding her marriage together and chose to do that. Documents showing up - kind of like Mitt's tax returns? Bengahazi was no more a problem to me than those being killed in Jordan were to Ronnie Reagun - sorry, when it is good for the goose it is also good for the gandar - yep we will most certainly use all those useless past mistakes of the republican men if you try to trash her - go on buddy, we are ready for ya! And poor palin is as dumb as a brick (like bauchman), no comparison there - kind of hard to compare a C student to a Harvard Grad but keep trying, it will keep you busy and most of us are sick and tried of your side pointing fingers and in secret doing the same things they say are so bad.

Keep talking Union Baby, Tennessee.....your ignorance is laughable....interesting how you attempt to defend her idiocy by trashing other... that's the argument of the Ignorant...Yes that's YOU...

Union Baby

Stop insulting bricks :)

The point is Union Babe, the media ripped the Republicans apart on every thing you mentioned, while Democrats doing the same are basically given a pass.

It's a double standard. And double standards are necessarily illogical.

"...most of us are sick and tried of your side pointing fingers and in secret doing the same things they say are so bad."

Its certainly hypocritical to preach against something and then go do it, but as you well know, that is the exception, not the rule. So it's OK with you for someone to be a bad person, just so they're not a hypocrite about it too. That speaks volumes.

And the WINNER of the LIARS CONVENTION is-------------------------- G. W. Bush and D Cheney for the portrayal of WMD's and WE DON'T TORTURE which cost the lives of many of our finest troops all based on the best lie.

Jblast,

Refreshing to hear from someone who gets it.

It is not gonna be the Hill and Bill show in 2016. Bill is gonna dump her long before that becuase she is old and ugly like most liberal women are.

It is not gonna be the Hill and Bill show in 2016. Bill is gonna dump her long before that becuase she is old and ugly like most liberal women are.

Are you kidding? Bill would love to get back into the WH. To get back in the "playground" he'll keep old , ugly hillary, concussion and all!

hs361 - So, it is a double standard and the media attacks Republicans more than liberals for the same things (except Fox news of course which does the opposite). I seem to remember non-stop coverage of Monica-gate in the 90's....yet when we invaded Iraq it was quite a while before I saw any serious coverage questioning why we were going into Iraq when they had nothing to do with 9/11. But does the media target the family-values, morally superior crowd more when they have an affair (say a priest or a Republican) than they do when someone who is liberal, freedom to love whom you chose, type person has an affair...or anything sexual go on? I think they are still at least at the same level, I seem to remember more coverage of Anothy's 'Weiner' than coverage of that Governor who skipped the country and his wife to spend a weekend with his mistress. But if the 'liberal media' exposes the utter hypocrisy of conservatives and idiocy of their fanatic followers....well apparently that is biased. Whatever Repubitards, please move to the independent 'country' of Texas and leave us all alone....let us know how great it is when the US pulls out all military bases and other government support that 'country' receives. Please just do us all a favor and LEAVE!

Hillary has the charisma of a damp bar rag....

My, you ARE worried that a capable woman like Mrs. Clinton will be your President, jblast.

I suspect that if she runs she will win. Get ready to salute President Clinton.

At this point, I think Steve is correct, but then, 2016 is a long way off. Funny how people come out of the that wasn't heard of before. Who would have predicted that Barrack Obama would have one in 2008 way back in 2005? Not many. Seems to me, the Press gave that elect to Hilary. Can history repeat itself?

You repubs are showing your extreme fear of Hillary. You know Hillary will win by a landslide. You people did not learn anything from your 5 of years of trashing Obama. Most American people are sick and tired of anti-American, anti-civil, anti-Christian haters, with their continously destroying America and the American way of life. You people have only posted your personal hatred of Hillary and your determination to destroy her. You have not said anything GOOD about any republican who may compete against Hillary. You people need to find someone that you could support, (if there is anyone, that you don't hate) rather than just being AGAINST everything Obama and/or Hillary. Real Americans want this nation to progress and prosper and republicans are AGAINST that also.

The GOP has no one with leadership ability. Stand up and defend your positions instead of tucking your tail between your legs and running with anything that the extreme right says, aka Mitt, and maybe you will be a contender. As it is now, the teaparty toe-lickers are making the American people want to vomit.

You repubs are showing your extreme fear of Hillary. You know Hillary will win by a landslide. You people did not learn anything from your 5 of years of trashing Obama.

Obama won only because he was the lesser of two evils.

That, and the media's fanatical adoration.

.

John,

What do you have against successful African-Americans?

Presidential polls this far in advance are merely the left liberal media's way of putting the name up there so they can hammer it into the skulls of the brainless zombies who vote themselves a living on the Gubmint dole.

It depends on what state your in. If you're in a "swing state" your vote carries weight. My vote carries no weight(in general elections) because I live in a democrat state that wouldn't even vote for their former Governor(though perhaps they knew him Too well). The current race makes for good television, but I think the time for the electoral college is long past and the president needs to be elected by popular vote.

I love you people that want to deny this poll, I am sure you were calling the the polls that were predicting an Obama victory as not accurate either. You just cannot stop being stupid.

You do not have a good message for the country. Most people willl not even decribe themselves as republican anymore you have become a joke to 70% of the country; the way most of you talk, the hate for the poor, the unemployed, and, everyone who does not agree completely with your "right wing" scared to death of the world ending philosophy. I think it is the reason so many of you are buy up all the guns for that imaginary war your going to have with Obama. The problem is that 99% of you only have guts for guns, not for fighting.

You live in a world that is going to hell, and, I am going to live in the world that improves and one where people care about their fellow man, and, not just greedy, everybody for themselves losers, that I have to read on this vine.

#11.2

I agree with much of what you say. I wonder if you realize though that the pendulum of opinion swings back and forth as time goes by, and what seems so defined now will change.

.

Bill,

If you had actually read my post, I was not denying the poll at all. I was merely stating that the poll is useless.

Unless the Republicans nominate a Mexican or a woman, they will not win in 2016. A white male will never win against a woman or a minority for president.

You live in a world that is going to hell, and, I am going to live in the world that improves and one where people care about their fellow man, and, not just greedy, everybody for themselves losers,

I might paraphrase that into "conservatives often stare at the realities of the mammal known as 'Human Being', while liberals tend to pretend these realities don't exist"

Then, jblast, she must be your candidate. She will win by a landslide if she is the candidate of the intelligent left, the intelligent center, and the ignorant right like you.

Then, jblast, she must be your candidate. She will win by a landslide if she is the candidate of the intelligent left, the intelligent center, and the ignorant right like you.

Ahhh, jblast, it just warms the cockles of my heart to see a right-wing nutjob cower in fear. Muhahahaha.

Jblast,

Don't confuse them with real facts.

Must be an echo in here.

Teacher- You still teaching our children? Still on the goverment dole? You are one of the ignorant "ME" people out there. There is nothing intelligent about you other then the fact you managed to get on the goverment dole for the rest of your life. You are one of those teacher who could not teach if they wanted to. Your just another waste of tax payers money.

Young people handle "extreme stress" better than old people? I beg to differ.

How old is too old? Where do you draw the line?

Isn't it true that your true age lies not with a number but with how you feel? You're as old as you feel.

Case in point: i've observed physically and mentally fit [senior] individuals who could beat you at chess and run a mile and a half quicker than most folks half their age. And, don't get me started on what age group plays raquetball the best.

I'd say there's a greater chance of being too inexperienced than being too old.

Lee, you must be young.

Young people get stressed out over things they shouldn't. Old people have a better idea about what should and should not be stressed about.

Mark Twain said something like, "I've had thousands of problems in my life, most of which never actually happened."

The older and more experienced a person is, the more they know the truth of that saying.

Old people shouldn't be allowed to drive of course, but they can be president. Then they have people to drive them around so it's win win.

Guess that's why there are SO many under 30 airline captains.

Rweber , with all that chinese money flowing in , somebody had to prosper . Research chinagate & then watch whats going on in N Korea today & youll know who to thank for the technology shift.

So the country never prospered under Bush?

According to Obama's "Economic Report of the President" for 2012, on page 411:

Tax revenues increased after tax cuts:

2003 1,782.3 Billion

2004 1,880.1

2005 2,153.6

2006 2,406.9

2007 2,568.0

The New York Times reported in 2006: "An unexpectedly steep rise in tax revenues from corporations and the wealthy is driving down the projected budget deficit this year."

What happened in 2008? Democrats took over Congress.

In this scenario there would be NO winner...America would lose either way. Time we all move away from any Bush's or Clinton's in our government. Although Obama will still be blaming his failures on Bush in 2016.

She won't get the nomination. The left won't tolerate her blaming oblamo for all her failures. Oblamo's got the market on the blame game.

Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done. Not a bitch like the Romney/Ryan facade.
She has my vote. Men just hate strong women.

WychDoctorGeorge

You lapdogs of the low informed GOP base really are predictable. You complain about Benghazi, but gloss over the FACT that Bush had over 60 embassy people killed. And where was your feeble, but stinky breath then? In fact, we never heard from you.

The score card would read, just for embassy people, Bush 60, Clinton 4. Quite a difference there, but then you have to be informed, not low informed, to realize that.

Sally, correct in you numbers, but not names. If you want to compare apples to apples, it would be:

Bush 60, Obama 4.

Either compare Presidents or Secretary of State.

Benghazi will sound like "birth certificate" by 2016.

Your replies are predictable also...always the same...stinky breath? Seems like nobody heard from you either.

@sallyann -Difference between Bush and Clinton is Bush went after the terrorists, Clinton is protecting them with her lies and cover up of the situation. You liberal communists are all the same...distorting the facts/truth....goes right along with your terrible math skills!!!!

Men just hate strong women

Last time I looked you do have men(?) in the Democratic Party. I think oblamo says he's a man, but maybe I'm wrong.

Read between the lines, it's the same welfare crowd that only voted for the first half black president just so they could say they made history.... History repeats itself....Now they can boast they elected the first female... bid deal, while the country goes down in flames.

Men hate strong women?

Since when did someone who married into her power become a powerful woman????

She sounds like MOST women to me! Find a guy who is rich, or someone who has a great job or nowadays someone who has a credit score over 800 marry then and sit back to recieve the rewards!!!!

If she were a strong woman why didn't she marry someone in the background and let him run things till you made it????

To me it's called LONG contract prostitution!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will at least admit that hillary has had a lot more exposure and a lot more help and cover-up from MSM. You on the left do want what is best for the country, or is it true what the right says, you'd vote for daffy duck if he ran as a democrat? Let's see how the country is REALLY doing when the next circus begins and be responsible voters and vote for the best person.

@jblast....sweeten the deal with Pelosi, Reid, Biden, and Feinstein!!!

And for God's sake, Bloomberg as well.

^^^^^ Conservative circle-jerk ^^^^^

^^^^Liberal mental masturbation^^^^

The Bush name is burnt for a while, maybe the daughters have a shot in 20-30 years, after people of reason and understanding die of old age. Then the Bush brand might work.

I don't want to see another Bush or Clinton or Kennedy in the White House. We don't need family dynasties.

Just give me an Hispanic/Asian Lesbian.

I seriously doubt "Tila Tequila" would make much of a president, but then again she probably has more scones than the current occupant of the wh.

Right, like John McCain wasn't too old and Chris Christie doesn't have any obvious health concerns because they're both Republicans.

Hillary will be 68 when elected in 2016, Reagan was 69 when elected.

Yeah but Reagan was intelligent and not a socialist/communist. Additionally Reagan went after terrorists, Clinton protects them via the cover-up.

Reagan was a cowboy who had Alzheimer's and spent more money than any of them. Raised the National debt ceiling 18 times.

Reagan went after terrorists,

Noriega was a drug trafficker and Reagan invented the slogan "CUT AND RUN" after Beirut where 241 marines were killed in the barracks explosion.

There wasn't anything intelligent about Reagan.....He was ready for the old folks home his entire second term.

Dusty, please dust off your brain. Reagan had common sense and used it. He was a fine President.

Reagan was a Union Man all the way. A smile and a nod. No substance. No leadership.

Raygun went after terrorists ?

Was this before or after he ran from Lebanon after 200+ of our guys were killed there ?

Before or after he armed the Taliban ?

Before or after he conquered mighty Granada ?
