New Yorkers Want Full Term From Clinton
By MARC HUMBERT AP Political Writer

(AP) - ALBANY, N.Y.-The majority of New York voters said Hillary Rodham Clinton deserves to be re-elected to the Senate next year, but want her to pledge to serve a full, six-year term if she runs, a statewide poll reported Thursday. :)

The Democratic former first lady made such a pledge in 2000 when she ran for the Senate. Clinton, leading in the polls for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, has yet to offer such a pledge this time around. :barf:



Sixty-five percent of Democrats polled by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said she should pledge to serve a full term if she runs for re-election, but 61 percent also said they would like her to run for the White House in 2008. Overall, 41 percent of New York voters said she should run for president, including 17 percent of Republicans. :confused:

There was no immediate comment from Clinton.

Clinton had 2-1 or better leads over several potential Senate opponents and 67 percent of voters said she deserves to be re-elected.

"There doesn't seem to be oomph behind any of the Republicans mentioned as possible challengers," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Hamden, Conn.-based polling institute.

New York Republicans have been struggling to find a big-name opponent to take on Clinton next year. Republican Gov. George Pataki has said he's not interested and a top political aide to Rudolph Giuliani said recently the former New York City mayor was too busy with private business interests to run for office next year. Both Pataki and Giuliani are believed to be eyeing possible 2008 presidential runs.

Quinnipiac's telephone poll of 1,191 registered voters was conducted April 28-May 2 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

So it looks like NY-ers want to have their cake and eat it too. Guess you have to be a liberal to figure out how the .gov can give it to you from both directions.

stay safe.

I hope he,,, I mean she goes for the next election

It would just make it that much easer to keep the Democrats out of the office.
A dog in heat would make a better president than that -----!

Which brings up a point, a good friend of mine lives in NY state, and where he lives he cant seem to find any one that would or did vote for her.
 
It seems reasonable to me that New Yorkers try to get her to make a public pledge.
Ozzieman, your friend is probably some politico who is careful to just associate with people of a specific political nature. He should get out more often.
You guys who hate Hillary crack me up. Over the years I have noted something about my married friends and fellow shooters who express a strong dislike for her. They are invariably in a strong hierarchical relationship with their wives. They are either the king or the doormat, but it is really obvious. I think they fear dealing with women on equal terms and Hillary represents much of what they fear.
 
Unique: I'd say that rates a Whatever. I'm single (divorced) and have a girlfriend who is an equal partner. I just can't stand Hillary.

The problem for the pro-war conservatives is

Hillary is tougher than any male member of the republican party.

Hillary brings home the bacon for NYers, ya probably dont agree with her politics but cant deny her that

she may bring home the bacon in the empire state, but she will get her backside stomped in the south, the bible belt and the great plains. There is no way on God's green earth that this witch will ever win either the popular vote or a majority in the electoral college.
She, like Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry, is done. If she ever made it out of the Dem. primaries unscathed, she would get slaughtered in the general election. Karl Rove is licking his chops just waiting for her to run. She has reached the high water mark of her political career and there ain't dick that she can do about it. She's toast.
 
I would not even attempt to predict how millions of female voters "in the south", "in the bible belt" or "the great plains" will vote in the next election. If Hillary runs [which she will] the dynamics of this election will be unlike any other in our nations history. Remember, women are mothers before they're republicans. And when it costs you over $45.00 to fill up your gas tank and several of your neighbors children have been killed or wounded in Iraq; a women might think twice about voting republican again. It appears to me, the dynamics caused by eight years of Bush administration foreign and domestic policy disasters would play directly into the hands of a challenger as politically gifted as Hillary.

Unique 5.7 you are completly WRONG

I happen to work for a woman in the engineering field and am very happy where I work, I have a very loving and shairing relainship with a wonderful wife.
I dislike hillary for the same reasion now as I do then. her party and the man she was married to. The weakest president that ever lived.
And lasty to say "your friend is probably some politico who is careful to just associate with people of a specific political nature. He should get out more often." your putting lables on people that you know nothing about and if there is somthing that should get out, it would be your head.
 
70-101...

Some things that you may not have considered...
George Bush will not be running for re-election a second time. Dick Cheney won't either. Therefore, whatever legacy they leave behind, good or ill, is a moot point as it will b difficult to tie it to the new Repub. challenger.

Hillary will have TONS of baggage from the last 30 years that the press and other Dems will savagely flog her with relentlessly thru the primaries...if she wins, she will be fatally wounded as well as fatally flawed.

Hillary is one of the WORST public speakers of our time.
She doesn't connect well with human beings. She is shrill, blunt, demanding and condescending. She demonstrates NO capacity to lighten up, be self deprecating or show any sense of humor or warmth whatsoever. She makes George Bush look like Will Rogers.

She has ZERO foriegn policy experience. We will need an expert in dealing with South Asia, the Middle East, Russia and China. She's not it and the bunch of foriegn policy leftovers from her husband's admin. are the goofs who got us in this fix to begin with.

Hillary is seen by many as left of Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry. She is attempting to temporarily adopt positions that are more centrist but will abandon them when she discovers that they don't serve her purposes and that folks are seeing right thru her.

Voting trends established in the last two election cycles will continue to dominate the national picture, with conservatives continuing to make gains in the House, Senate, courts as well as continuing to hold the White house. The Dems will be relegated to inner city strongholds which will continue to be whittled away as more and more folks come to their senses.

Hillary would do well to hold on to her Senate seat.
Despite the tragic loss of life of our service men and women overseas and the growing list of wounded, women continue to understand to logic of carrying the battle to the enemy instead of waiting for them to attack us here. Hillary is no 'commander in chief' and a majority of folks realize that as well.
 
Maybe your right. Maybe your 100% correct. But, its my guess, the 2007 campain and 2008 general election will be the most interesting,highly contested and closely watch campain in history. Not only by America, but the entire world. As proof, here it is May of 2005 and were already talking about it. I just hope we don't drive our gracious and extreamly patient host Mr. Lucibella crazy in the process :D
 
I'm a WNY'er and a Republican, and I think I'd vote for her if she ran again for the senate with that pledge.
Why,
1) she'd win anyway 2-1
2) it's the safest place for her, she does nothing but promote Hilliary.
3) and lets face it, even if she tried to do something here she couldn't screw up the state anymore then it is.
4) she's forcing the good, honest hardworking people out of the state. NY has lost 4 more electorial votes that will not be there in the 08 election.

Hilary is a little bit too much pro-gun control for my tastes (e.g. registration, more laws/restrictions, etc.), but she could be worse (e.g. pro handgun ban).

The Bush administration, and the GOP in general, has put such a bad taste in my mouth over the last few years that I seriously doubt I will vote for a Republican nominee for president in 2008. :barf:

The Liberatarian Party is sounding pretty good right now.
 
You guys who hate Hillary crack me up. Over the years I have noted something about my married friends and fellow shooters who express a strong dislike for her.

Couldn't be her anti-gun stance, could it? Or her leftist stance?
 
Ozzieman - Well, we'll just have to disagree. I'd say anybody who lives in New York and can't find somebody who voted for Hillary really, really doesn't get out too much. Are you seriously disagreeing with that? I could see where he just might pull that off if he confines his visists to the bait shop and even the gun club, but MacDonald's are in New York. I am sure he can run into a Hillary voter there, just ask the employees. I mean what were you trying to say by telling us your friend can't find a Hillary voter?
You can drop the phony indignance at label making, after all, how did you refer to Hillary Clinton, Mr. Kettle? Or, are you ACTUALLY indignant because you are the only one "allowed" to call names or make labels?

OK, guys, I won't defame your Jew hating, ashtray flinging
queen. But I would bring out that anyone who would unite with William Jefferson Clinton in holy matrimony bears close watching. Like sure craving to go to a wedding.
