I think hillary is just playing up that centrist role because she thinks it is smart politrics.
she wanted national health care and there really isnt much conservative about that.

that gandhi remark is pretty fucked.

No, you should vote for the best person who you think will be best for the country (but this can be very subjective). I haven't studied much about Hilary Clinton, so I can't say whether or not she's a good representatiev, but I do know the basics about the American culture and especially politics. Being a female politician in America is not too great. Basically, women politicians (especially democrats) tend to talk about social aspects of the USA first before realizing that the USA does not take well to discussing social issues over other things (like defense, justice, etc.)

America isn't ready, or arther, willing, to elect a Woman President..IMHO.
But for what it's worth...I think HRC would be a brilliant leader for this country.

(Oct 20 06, 09:41)Exactly. People label her as being a democrat but her views on many things is more Republican. She is REALLY trying to shift into the central area...

Exactly, Nic. Canada did have one but she was not elected in. I think if she didn't make certain remarks about other politicians she could've had a longer term, but that's not the case. Both countries are not ready for that, the USA more-so though.

agreed jaline...the best person for the job is consideration #1!

It's just smart politics. Being a centrist you can have views and opinions that attract voters from both parties. IMHO - if more democrats moved to the center more democrats would be getting elected...

i actually do think the country's ready for a female president...should the right person come along. which i don't believe hillary is.

(Oct 20 06, 09:46)You also have to look at opportunity though, not just the end result. Equity over equality always works better for women in the long run. The goal is not to make men and women the same, but to allow both sexes equal opportunities and to ensure women's rights.
Anyway, I think I'm getting off topic a bit, hehe.

(Oct 20 06, 09:47)If the Democrats appoint Hilary as their representative they will most likely lose.

(Oct 20 06, 09:50)If the dems 'win big' this November - I think it's pretty likely that will happen...

she is a highly polarizing person. regardless of her stances, that in itself is not a great quality in a leader (IMO). leaders should bring people together as much as possible, and i just don't see her having the capacity to do that.

I think that it's strange people imagine HC in the top spot. I think she has a way better chance of becoming president if she is first VP. Then she could run as an incumbent after 8 years as Vice.

(Oct 20 06, 09:47)Yup, she is definitely trying to water down the backlash she has been getting from everyone. But moving towards the center you can have a larger 'tent', meaning that you have more interests covered.

(Oct 20 06, 09:50)absolutely right on. it's a tough spot since i don't want her but i certainly don't want a republican.

(Oct 20 06, 09:52)That's a fair point...

Hilary has a MUCH better chance as VP.
