2008 with Hillary. Pres. and v. Pres either way would be okay. They are both strong women.

2. Jesus! No!
She's our Katherine Harris! (Purely on physical attributes. She's infinitely better, politically speaking.)

4. We've let the men run the
country from the top for a long time (since the beginning) and look where we are at. Nuff said.

Bush wins and Hillary decides not to run.

9. The freepers DO seem to hate her, almost as much as Hillary...
...that, in and of itself, is a strong endorsement.

11. I like Pelosi right where she is
it's a much more influential position than VP.

14. No way. She's not that bright.
Look at her comments to McDermott a couple of weeks ago and her vote for Homeland Security.

15. The Big Question would come down to...
The Freepers (aka Faux Snooze and the shills all the way down the BushCo feeding chain) would be all over this:


Could she be within a heartbeat of being President?

16. NO NO NO…

…and Hell NO, hum, when was the last time a leading liberal elder statesman selected a ultraliberal woman from congress representing a liberal states as his running mate now let me think…….hum….ah yes 1984! Well we did win MN, and some would say that’s now a swing state so there ya go!

Pelosi IMHO is really not the best choice for House Leader Ford would have been way better, she’s not terrible at it, just not as good a leader as we could have had. But for VP…that’s a bad joke a real bad joke!

She isn’t seen as a strong woman she’s seen as a wimpy liberal, if you want a strong female VP, one you don’t go to congress and two you don’t pick a liberal (well at the top of the ticket Feinstein might be able to win, but that aside), In the senate you have two options for the VP slot who would be viable Landrieu and Lincoln and both could be good. Kerry/ Pelosi and this “Blue Dog’s” fixing to either vote Bush or Nader. But thank god it won’t happen and Kerry isn’t that stupid!

18. No thanks..
She may have wowed with her Bush speech, and she has her moments but honestly she has other ones that make me scratch my head. Plus I don't think her last national speech was anything to gloat about, she looked terribly robotic in it (the SOTU response w/ Daschle) and didn't help the Democrats cause at all.

Of course I loved Kerry's NBC response afterwards but I am biased. :)
