Right now, I personally think she has a good shot at the nomination and a fair chance of being elected President if she ran. - ReluctantCynic Dec 12, 10:19 33
- One additional thought ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 12, 10:35
- I agree with you on Clinton. I think she is further to the right than Obama on a lot of issues - amoxy Dec 12, 10:24 17
  - I think what attracted a lot of people to her is that she is a political fighter. If you chose to fight then you need to accept that sometimes you - TWuG Dec 12, 10:29 15

      - A much different Congress that didn't oppose their own ideas simply to deny the president credit. - TWuG Dec 12, 10:40 12

        cause fuck you that's why! -- nm - Congress Dec 12, 10:57 6
        
        Pretty much. And more than a tiny bit of "no way does a black guy get to dictate terms". -- nm - TWuG Dec 12, 11:07 5
        
        Partly that and partly "holy crap, they managed to get a black guy elected. We better put a stop to this kind of thing at all costs." -- nm - pmb Dec 12, 11:24 4
        
        And as I think about it more, probably a fair amount of "this guy got elected on a platform of bridging party lines and uniting people, therefore we - pmb Dec 12, 11:26 3

        I think the Purple States of America scared the hell out of them. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 12, 11:29 1
        
        You even had guys Like McConnel openly say that their no.1 legislative priority was making Obama a 1 term president. - pmb Dec 12, 11:34

        Abso-frickin'-lutely. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 12, 10:42
      - This I agree with. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 12, 10:36
      - Yes, well put. -- nm - amoxy Dec 12, 10:30
  - I actually think the 2012 election was great for this. The fact that it didn't happened in 2014 reflects how apathetic people are to mid-terms. -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:25 2

      - it's scary to realize that Chris Rock is dead on when he said the only way for Obama to win would be to have let the country tank first - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 12, 10:36
I think *my* chances of voting for her are 100% - TWuG Dec 12, 10:13
