She’s worked on it, I agree. (I think the “tearing up” was genuine, although it fits with a pattern of other moves.) But she has been around for so long that most people’s views of her are not going to change much either way.
Bill is not running. He has a lot of experience and talent and can help, I have no doubt. But Bill Clinton could do things like that because people believed in Bill Clinton. I don’t see that for her. I have said in the past that people should not dismiss her electability out of hand because of her work with Republicans, even Gingrich. But you’re proposing a much more radical change when I think the most she can hope for is getting through to a thin majority of people who could change their minds about her, while Obama can do much better with people in the middle.
By way of example, for all the solid work she did in the Senate and her efforts in reaching out to Republicans, it was still true that everybody knew she ran for the Senate so she could run for President. And she proved them right in their fundamental view of her character.
I just don’t believe that. She’d have chances to win people over, but she’d probably make more enemies too, and she already has plenty of them.
This I found quite imaginative. Are you perchance an out of work SNL writer?
Anybody else spot a paradox in this post? 
Say it, brother. I don’t care how much you dislike Hillary, if she gets the Dem nod she’s still an order of magnitude better than the only other practical choice, which will most probably be a unrepentant hawk, or, if things really shake up late in the game, either a guy whose opinions and principles are entirely up for sale, or a Christian Fundamentalist and “fair tax” advocate. If A Conglomeration of Abbreviations and his friends stay home in November and thereby give the race to the GOP, the “innocent blood spilt” differential will be way higher. Hold your noses and vote your party, guys.

Purely intentional!
What happened to the rule by which the OP had to return to his pit thread periodically?
Booze is not a member.
Maybe he’s busy making another “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!” video.
I’m supposed to feel bad because of what people a century and a half or more ago did? Screw that.
Sexism is more fun!
But if a relative moderate like McCain runs and loses, won’t that just strengthen the party’s nutters?
True - especially when extreme conservatives plan to be martyrs this election, turning themselves into suicide voters. :rolleyes:
I feel a lot better now knowing that my man Barack has pulled forward on the delegate side. I still know that space-lizard hillary has something up her sleeve.
You miserable, ignorant, pseudo-self-righteous pissy little shit.
MY child has been on the front lines, and will probably be going back in a couple of months. MY child’s head will be in the way of those bullets you curse others with, with such recklessness.
You stupid fool, you just wished death on people’s children. Death on my child, my niece, and my nephew.
I am not particularly please about their decisions to support the military at this time, and, therefore, this war (I’ve been really unpleasant about it, in fact). Still, I hope they, and every foolish child, even the children of actual Republicans and the randomly vicious, come with their brains still in their heads.
I’ve been opposing wars since before you crawled out of your slime, and I voted for the candidate who has the guts to get us out of this international abortion that those who vote for ‘likeable’ candidates got us into.
I mean, what kind of person wishes death on others’ children? Seriously?
Need a match?
Join the club.
Oooo, then I’m DEFINITELY voting Hillary!
We’ll see.
And everyone said that if Bush got elected, he’d go after Iraq. Didn’t stop him from winning the White House.
Bill had plenty of enemies in '92, along with accusations of being a womanizer, but he managed to get elected.
A.) Nearly every news organization has different totals for the delegate counts, with the average working out to them being tied (or near enough). B.) You think she’s gonna have him whacked like she did Vince Foster?
I was wondering the same thing, Troy. Nobody is enjoying the writers’ strike.
(But driving up the California coast on Highway 1 to San Francisco…well does Lake Michigan compare? Anyway, I didn’t vote for Clinton, so you can jump in your lake, TLDR.)
Oregon and Washington are great too. And I like Chicago.
The few times I’ve been in people’s houses with TVs on since the writers’ strike, they’ve generally been playing movies, which are of better quality than TV shows. At home, I never watched commercial TV anyway, so the average quality has risen.
A more empty threat has never been made. Probably why it’s not working - it’s transparent to the threatener and the threatenee.
