"See Hillary Run"

A year ago or so when I was hearing and reading a lot that Hillary Clinton would try to make a bid for the White House in 2008, my friend Drew said to me, "Ah that's hogwash, only right wing people think she will actually run." Then I started searching my back for wings.


Anyone, as a former PR student I have an eye for when people are trying to change their image. Suddenly, Hillary Clinton is trying to act a little more to the right then she was. Also, many people who are democrats seem to think she is the front runner for the 2008 bid.

Now Drew, and the people that blew me off I can't imagine could really simply rule out this possibility. Whether or not shes going to get the nomination is another story. I thought it was a good idea for the Democrats before I saw Bush overcome Kerry, which I really didn't think was going to happen. If all those southern and mid-west states couldn't accept John Kerry, would they accept a woman president?

I don't mean to turn it into the battle of the sexes here. Although, I have friends who think that a female should never be in that position of power. However, the people in that part of the country are a bit more old fashioned, and you wonder if even if she's more qualified for the job then whoever she runs against that she will win less states than Kerry.

Is this a smoke screen? Or are the democrats going to put it all on the line like a poker game? Put all their chips and hope it pays off.

Speaking of John Kerry. Remember he kept saying "I have a plan!" during the election? When usually asked about it he said he had to vote for him to find out. Well seeing as where he is still technically getting paid to serve his country. Why not tell us what his kick-ass plan was? Perhaps it was all a bluff? If not why is he refusing to share this brain storm with the rest of the world.

Maybe it will be Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton

How crazy would that be?
