Any woman who votes for Hillary just because she is a woman is just as stupid as a man who would vote against her just because she''''s a woman. As for the Oprah factor, she will attract the non-thinking stylish simpleton, but the majority of women take their vote too seriously to give it up to a self-centered diva like Winfrey, otherwise they would be looking for voting advice from Paris Hilton.

The majority of voters will elect whoever runs on the Democratic ticket because the Republicans have screwed things up so bad in the past seven years that not enough people will trust them with another eight years.

Democrats will vote for Hillary because she is the only one that actually has a chance to win. They could care less about her, so called, experience or lack thereof. Most of them don''t even like her but they''ll vote for her anyway. I think that these people need to look up the word, SOCIALISM, in the dictionary because that is what Hillary is preaching.

Whichever candidates are the best prostitutes for big money and corporate interests will be the ones who get the most media attention.

Many voters will vote for Clinton, Obama, or Edwards because they are the best candidates for the office of president...the Republican candidates have aligned themselves with the right wing part of the Republican Party who capitalize on spreading fear, creating enemies out of allies, and promoting torture as an effective means of combating terrorism. Republican candidates are harsh in their views and obviously represent the monied elite. We have had such for the last 8 years and look where it got us---a huge debt, more hatred toward America, and a loss of world prestige.

I''m not a Hillary fan, but I don''t think her ''experience'' or lack of it should be an issue, especially after electing Junior to the White House.

The constitution says you have to be a certain age and a U.S. citizen to be elected president. Period.

Now if you want to use experience as a benchmark to decide which candidate you''ll vote for, so be it. Other people might have other criteria more important to them. For example, many compassionate conserviate republican christians will only vote for "anti-abortion" candidates despite the fact that not one of these hypocrites have ever stopped one abortion after getting elected.

Some folks voted for Bush because of the "ranch and farm team" bumper stickers that made them feel better about voting for someone like them who was both a rancher and a farmer, despite the fact Junior grew up attending private east coast schools and riding in Daddy''s government limosine.

So there are lots of rational and irrational reasons for voting for a particular candidate. Unfortunately, you don''t have to be rational to be able to vote, or have children, or carry a gun.

I certainly do not see Hillary as our President to be a scary thing at all. I think she would do a GREAT job. I know one thing thing. The day this lousy stinking bush admin is gone, I will be ecstatic. But we will be years recovering from all the awful things they have done :(

The candidates stack up like this:
DEMOCRATS:
Hillary Clinton - A Zogby poll had her beating all GOP contenders lined up against her. Today, a new Zogby poll has ALL GOP contenders BEATING HER, including Mike Huckabee! What happened?
Barack Obama - states he smoked pot in college and, unlike Bill Clinton, he did inhale it!
John Edwards - Still thinks he is John Kerry''s running mate.
Bill Richardson - Has been almost everywhere and done almost everything; too intelligent to be nominated.
Dennis Kucinich - makes sense, the public love him, knows what to do, the press ignores him. All these qualities means he will never be President.

REPUBLICANS
Mitt Romney - Mr. Waffle!
Rudy Guiliani - In a rut with 9/11!
John McCain - Endorsed by Pat Robertson, an older clone of George W. Bush!
Fred Thompson - Mr. Potato Head.
Ron Paul - recently endorsed by a *** house!
Huckabee - Someone who will speak to God when he gets to the Oval Office.

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

omega39--I prefer "social war" to "class war" as many of the upper income members of the American working class think of themselves as "middle class"...petit bourgeoisie... and are as likely to side with the Oligarchs as they are to recognize their own class interests...just as in Germany where the Nazis represented the Oligarchs while appealing to the sentiments of the petit bourgeoisie and were able to fix blame for Germany''s defeat--with some justice--on the German Left.
