Would you vote for Hillary Clinton as President ?
I wouldn't. I don't understand why we have to break this barrier down about having a woman as president. I wouldn't vote for her anyway because I usually vote republican, though. I doubt I'd ever for a woman for president.

Re: Would you vote for Hillary Clinton as President ?
No. I don't want another globalist in the White House.
That said, I would vote for her twice for Senator against Jeannine Piroo if I could. |

If Rice were to run as a Republican I would consider voting for her, dont know her stance on economic issues yet but I like her foreign policy.

Re: Would you vote for Hillary Clinton as President ?
No, I would not.
Here's my worry: it's not the fact she's a woman...truly, it's not. I, personally, have not forgiven her for trying to socialize American medicine. But, that's not to say I don't believe a woman is fit to be President. Far from it...I would like to see a woman who could duke it out with the men she'd be running against, and win. Unfortunately, I think she's going to make the fact she is a woman the issue, and frankly, all men are going to have to convince the mob mentality of women at-large that Hillary is a bad representative...I just worry about her getting elected strictly because she's a woman, rather than for her policies. The Presidency itself does not care. If we determine that a woman is the best person for the job, then so be it. But, Hillary is not it. |

Re: Would you vote for Hillary Clinton as President ?
Because I would, if I were her. I don't mean she'll come out and say it, but she is smart enough to get the point across, IMHO. I don't believe Hillary is anything but frightfully intelligent. She is a very savvy politician, and she knows that if she can position herself as the unabashedly FEMALE candidate, women will flock to the voting booths.

[/ QUOTE ] I think most female voters are a little more sophisticated than that in their voting decisions. Can't think too many of them would vote for Hillary simply because she's a woman. In what ways would she 'get the point across' without coming out and saying it? |

Re: Would you vote for Hillary Clinton as President ?
After reading your response, and reading my post, it would seem that I am being chauvinistic about this...I'm not. I agree that female voters are sophisticated, certainly some of them more than male voters.
But, bear in mind that this country elected a man who essentially played to the fact that he was a very strong Christian. Many more newfound evangelical Christians voted for George W. Bush for this very reason, citing him as a man of values, etc(look at BGC's location if you need further proof). I am not speaking to the sophistication of individual voters. I am speaking about mob mentality, which voters tend to have. That's where the value of having so many public opinion polls lies: the more people are said to support a candidate, the more people will actually support him. As to specific tactics of Hillary Clinton, I don't know. I would think something along the lines of her being a "woman's woman" or something to that effect, i.e. she's the only "responsible" choice a woman can make. Voters show time and again that they vote their hearts, and not their heads(how else would FDR get elected four times, other than portraying himself as the guiding light to steer America out of the Great Depression, when WWII did that as much as the New Deal). This discrepancy is one reason it is very stressful being a libertarian, as implied by another thread. We are a mind-based party in a heart-based world. Wow...I've been at work all day, and getting off topic. |

[/ QUOTE ] Women voted for Reagan-Bush over Mondale-Ferraro in 1984. Ferraro didn't gain Mondale any more votes because she was a woman, so what makes you think that rich b*tch Hillary can draw female votes? I'd say right off the bat that she won't get more than 45% of the female vote and no more than 40% of the male vote. If it's Hillary vs McCain in 2008, Hillary loses 41% to 58%. |
