Latest poll: Hillary leading by 15 points in Iowa

[AnewKINDofFEELIN 0]

At this moment, Hillary is the most likely of all the people running, to actually be President in Jan 2009.

The deniers are ... well, in denial.

Why? She is a mediocre candidate at best.

Because she's a power #######.

Was Bush a great candidate?

He may be super-bad, but he's not mediocre.

Aren't all presidential candidates power whores?

I am still interested the last time there was a 'great' candidate, and when the last time a 'great' candidate was elected was...my point being, mediocrity doesn't preclude success.

I beg to differ, I believe Bush is mediocre.

Bush has done a lot of bad things to be sure, but I wouldn't call him mediocre.

He is leading the country to disastrous things and taking the world along for the ride.

What he's doing is not mediocrity, it's history in the making!

Most of them are, but I feel like her intentions are much more transparent. That and a lot of people cannot stand her. You would have good turn out of people voting against her. She may have a contingent in the donkey party, but she is loathed outside of it by a large number of voters. It will probably end up going down like Kerry, who proved incapable of convincing swing voters.

I feel like her best bet if nominated would be for the elephant party to nominate Huckabee. Then you'd basically get the obvious choice of satan's left hand around your throat or satan's right hand around your throat.

It's more of an accumulation thing, each time there is a mediocre president things get a little bit worse, and a little bit worse until the 'camel's back is broken'. I guess whoever is at the top of the tree at that moment might be labeled super bad but it doesn't really make it so.

Mind you, I don't think the US is really in the position you describe.

If the dems lose they will definately will be rolling out the almighty chad party.Also the dems are still tryin to run against Bush. They are a hapless bunch of losers with nothing to offer but empty promises.

Their desperate so desperate!

Do the reps have a 'great' candidate this time around then? I must have missed him.

Well, Ron Paul is as close as you're going to get, but he doesn't even have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination.
