From Wikipedia<br />

Hillary Rodham was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised in a Methodist family in Park Ridge, Illinois. Her father, Hugh Ellsworth Rodham, a conservative, worked in the textile industry, and her mother, Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham, was a homemaker. <br /><br />After completing high school in 1965, Rodham enrolled at Wellesley College in Massachusetts where she became active in politics, serving, for a time, as President of the Wellesley College Chapter of the College Republicans . During her junior year at Wellesley in 1968, Rodham was affected by the death of the civil rights leader, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whom she had met in person in 1962. After attending the Wellesley in Washington program at the urging of Professor Alan Schechter, her political views became more liberal and she joined the Democratic Party.

I believe she'll run for the nomination but in the end it will go a man. Would she accept running as candidate for VP??

When I voted there were actually 10 people who didn't think she'd be a candidate?! I am stunned that 10 people could actually believe that.<br />As JB said, candidate yes, nominee no

So you are saying that political parties are controlled by the media. Support the party, jump on the band wagon, love mother and apple pie, say whatever, but for God's sake don't think. (sorry, but my uncles business in in a recession and he needs the money)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<moved from Now that the qualifier....>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> What qualifies a person as a candidate? Even in party politics doesn't a person have to be nominated before they can become a candidate? The only thing that will keep the Democrats out of the White House this year will be their own stupidity, and if that stupidity is as severe as it is represented in DC Community the result will be a no-brainer. Who currently controls the House and Senate? What is the overriding direction taken by the Judical Branch? The direction of this country will depend more on the actions of the these branches than the Office of the President.<br />Let's all Jump out of the Frying Pan into the Fire.

technoreadcarefullyabitmoreo,<br /><br />the answer to your question

Even in party politics doesn't a person have to be nominated before they can become a candidate?

Is in the first and only question posted in Elmer's beginning post:<br />

Would you say that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be a democratic candidate for the presidency in 2008?

Note the word "a". It's not "the", it's "a". So if any registered democrat, like Haut or txswinner, says "I am a candidate for President" and files the appropriate paperwork, Viola, they are A democratic candidate.<br />I can't believe I had to explain that to you?!

Interesting, a great deal(majority of posts) of negativity expressed on this one, yet a majority selected "Hillary for Pres." Who is kidding whom?<br /><br />I think if Hillary gets the nomination, she will be our next President.<br /><br />Females make up about 51% of our population, and if you don't think they are waiting for an opportunity to be heard, in my own opinion, you are mistaken.<br /><br />Approximately 40% of our population is minority(non-white) and I think many would be as willing to vote her in as opposed to another Rep. A record turnout of female and minority voters would be an absolute.<br /><br />On top of census statistics, you have the whole W administration fiasco going on presently, most likely turning many fence sitters to the Dem side of the fence. <br /><br />She is also the wife of a not so bad former president. Regardless of what we think about B. Clinton, his approval numbers were pretty good throughout his presidency and Americans still like him. What he was caught doing pales in comparison to today's administration, and only K Starr made a deal of it.<br /><br />Just my opinion.

Re: What if you had to put your money where your mouth is?

CJY, yeah 51% women, but not all will vote for her. I think at least 75% are them are smarter than that.<br /><br />

Regardless of what we think about B. Clinton, his approval numbers were pretty good throughout his presidency and Americans still like him. What he was caught doing pales in comparison to today's administration, and only K Starr made a deal of it.<br />

Wow, it's sad that people really think that.

No you didn't have to, but you chose to. My question was asked to avoid any welching in the event that money was put where mouth is. See: Parlor tricks, bar bets and Sure things.....

Ok, you are never confused or mistaken, I forgot. As far making those people who say one thing fess up, well, that ain't gonna happen anyway. Just like you, they'll claim we "misquoted" their typing.

Re: What if you had to put your money where your mouth is?

Yes, and your comment was not to purport that I didn't have the capacity to understand or could not decipher the correct meaning. As to my being mistaken, I don't think that is a germain part of this discussion. Some people were just born to lead with their chin.

Man, I have heard of backwards but you are the most. The only way you could lead with your butt would me if your were running away.

Well, we both know that wouldn't happen! <br /><br />(and by the way, running away would not be leading with you butt , that would still be leading with your chin . Unless people run differently in technosecretwhateverworld!)

Well, I guess it all depends on whether you stand for what you mean or you run from what you know will hurt you. No one ever got hit on the chin when they were running away. But they have got their butts kicked. In this world or any other... <br />Back to the Poll
