Let's face it. The candidate who looks most presidential is a former First Lady.
Let’s face it. Hillary Clinton has something. Otherwise, why would she be leading Mega-Charisma Barack Obama by 15 points?…

If Hillary were to win, and then win a second term (what was that scream? ...Arch?), that means by 2017 the Bush/Clinton dynasties would have squatted in the Casa Blanca for a grand total of 28 years (36 if you count Bush the Elder's stint as VP).
So would Chelsea or the W twins be old enough to take a tilt at it by then?

Ya know, Dr. D-- if you squint your eyes just right, you can see a sort of young Eleanor Roosevelt in Chelsea.

Oh, right - 'cause that idea would make Arch feel a whole lot better...

Dread, you forgot Jeb's turn. He gets the presidency between Hillary and Chelsea.
31 - Dr Dreadful
Damn, I was trying not to think about Jeb. I just realized I also forgot Reggie Bush. He's looking very presidential these days. Obama eat your heart out.

Don't you think it's time we got some of the Roosevelts and Taft's back into the White House? They are still around and still in politics, though on a smaller scale.

Does anyone think the terrywrists will stop buggerising around if you get Obama as a president. Isn't he a muslim?
That's something to think about. If you elect a muslim as president of the US, they'll be scratching their heads for decades.

Actually, no, Stan.
He claims Christianity as a religion, but he talks like a Secular Progressive (which, come to think of it, is the new American Puritanism).

i think there's only one good way to really fuck with their heads...something unprecedented...something to show just how much crazier we are than them...
unanimously elect a dead person...and who better, as our zombie in chief, to strike Fear into the very marrow of all who dare oppose us...what one man has made whole continents pee themselves...
in 2008....bring....back.....Dick!!!
yep, i said it....haul Nixon out of the ground, get the houngan to stir the Loa...and turn the twisted dead bastard loose against Osama and friends...make Liddy his VP...
that would scare the sheets offa them, imo
Excelsior?

"she has the most experience any candidate in history has ever had"
Uh, no.
Hillary was a First Lady for 8 years (not an elected, or officialm government position) and has been a Senator for a little over 6 years.
George H. W. Bush, when he was elected in 1988, had been a Vice-President for 8 years, a Congressman for 4 years, head of the CIA for 2 years, US Ambassador to the UN for 3 years, Ambassador to Red China for 3 years, and head of the national Republican Party for 2 years.
And he ended up being an unpopular one-term President who received only about 38% of the vote when he ran for re-election.

Bob Dole served about 70 years in the Senate.

I know what a "teapot" is, but it's not very nice and I'm not telling. Bad Stan. Step up for a smack on your terry-covered wrist.

Hillary Clinton is not as smart as many thing. She flunked the D.C. bar exam, the easiest in the country. What she is is well-rehearsed. That is something quite different from smart. She screwed up health care, something far more serious than her refusal to appologize for her vote on the Iraq war. As for her performance as a senator, what has she done? No one can point to one major accomplishment.
44 - Nancy
I was hoping she'd have what all the males lack: a smidge of honesty & honor. Alas, she's as bad, as opportunistic, as venal, as slick, as any of the men. Just another one of the boys on The Hill. In that sense, I guess she's just as well (or badly) qualified as any of them. She certainly isn't any lower, but ...
'...it fell so low in my esteem I heard it hit the ground....'
Maybe that's why I'll have a hard time voting for her, even tho the GOP candidate is sure to be far more nauseating to me.
