1. That's because the odds makers think we will be dumb enough to
run Hillary.

2. Hillary might run, but she won't get survive the primary . . .
at least I don't think so.

5. If she won the Dem primary, I would certainly work for her
to be President, considering the alternative would be the Republican.

6. Can't stand the woman. She's a sell out.
She would sell her soul to be president and probably already has.

I don't trust her and don't think she could get elected so why waste my time. I would work on local campaigns and just not vote for president. Believe me, I am not alone in this. She ignores her base and tries to play to some mythical middle ground. In so doing she speaks to no one but her own ego.

7. It's just tilting at windmills anyway
but I don't hold the same animosity toward her.

9. I don't think she's electable
But I've been wrong before.

I do believe the difference between her and Bill would be their governing styles. If Hillary had a democratic congress behind her, she wouldn't govern from the center like Bill, she'd probably be more outspoken about what she really believes and wants....and I don't think she wants to be a "moderate" President. This would be the chance for her to govern further from the left than any President before her and if she had the support, I think she'd go for it.

12. I don't think so
I think she leaned right in order to get the Senate seat because she thought that was what was necessary.

I don't trust her and I wouldn't vote for her but I really think if she thought she had the support, she'd be a lot more Progressive and we'd see a lot less pandering to the right.

13. Maybe, but her pandering makes me not trust her AT ALL.
If she "leaned right" for political reasons (which I agree with you, she did) then I STILL don't have any respect for her (which I don't, beCAUSE she did). Better to stand up for what's right. The people will wake up and come around, as is shown (FINALLY) in Connecticut.

I don't think she would suddenly become more progressive-acting once she got in power. I don't respect people who go with the polls and lean whichever way the wind blows. I used to really respect both Hillary and Big Dog, but I'm starting to see them more as the politicians they are and questioning whose interests they really have at heart.

I respect your opinion, I just happen to differ sharply on Ms. Clinton.

3. It's also hard to set the odds this far without a candidate on

either side, but hey people want to bet so they set them.
