OH GOD NO!
Not Rudy!
Although Hillary isn't my first choice, she would definitely be my choice over Rudy, Fred, Mitt, and/or most of the republican candidates.
I like Ron Paul!

ANY democrat is a better choice than Hillary because----Hillary and the DLC backed Lieberman,
Until she felt the heat and wielded out of all out support.
She voted for the War and continued funding of it.
She voted for the Patriot Act. TWICE
She voted a NV for the Credit Card and Banking Bill which Equaled a Yes in a Republican Congress.
She voted for the REAL ID ACT.
She would renew NAFTA.
She is a Corporatist.
She is not a Democrat.
She is part of the problem.

Rudy probably won't even be the GOP nominee. He's already being hit by his Republican rivals. The GOP battle will be a fight over who is the real conservative, what is a real conservative, and who can beat Hillary. If they don't know who or what their nominee is about, then being anti-Hillary, or anti-Democrat won't be enough to carry the day.
To most Americans G.W. Bush is still the prototypical conservative.

Hillary is not qualified to be president of the United States and for the first time, her armor was dented on Tuesday and perhaps for the first time, even democrats and Clinton-lovers that she is NOT the right candidate. On the other hand, if Hillary did win, I bet that BillClinton would make a much better first ladyt han he did a president-LOL

Hillary or Rudy, what's the difference? Well, she has a well-oiled campaign machine, and a husband who is popular with everybody but her; and he has a cellphone to take calls from his wife so he can convince people he's a 'loving husband'. Other than that, they are pretty much the same, that is, liberal Democrats. Oh, that's right, he SAYS he's a Republican. Ha! Ha!

"At a debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, senators Barack Obama and John Edwards both questioned her original support for the Iraq war"
Edwards also voted for the Iraq war. He now says it was a mistake. Hillary does not. Several hundred thousand dead Iraqis were unavailable for comment.

FTA:
"But we have seen a drift to the Left, particularly on government programmes and social issues, and add that to Bush's unpopularity these are hard times for Republicans.
"The results suggest Republicans haven't developed a considered view of what they are looking for in the campaign."
The ball really is in the Democrats' court. Or, if someone from another party were charismatic enough to take the offensive and make everyone follow his/her lead. The Republicans are only able to counter-attack what the Democrats are pointing out about the Bush administration and his handling of the last 7 years in office.
If you really listen to the arguments of the Republicans they are very weak in being able to propose any policies for the future. It's all about continuing what Bush has perpetuated during his 2 terms.
The media is steering the public toward clone candidates and we need to resist them. Paul, Kucinich, or Gravel would better anti-establishment candidates.

I find it hard to believe anyone would vote for Hilary Clinton, democrat or republican ...didnt the Clinton's do enough damage and hurt enough people the first time around, Vince Foster is still dead, the harm to the people at the rose law firm, putting at risk the president's secretary's pension ...let alone the marine guards and security details whose careers were potentially put on the line with the Clinton's lies and cover ups..., the Arkansas troopers having to act like an escort service, and all the women he harmed or drug thru the mud ...and not least the lying to the country and the purjury committed during the investigations... There are a lot of good hard working people in this country and we deserve to be represented by a president who loves the country as much as we do, not with the slime the Clinton's still represent.

What most of the right and left wing supporters seem to fail to realize is that a more moderate stance is needed.
They continue to push the total left or right wing views. Either one of these options is probably political suicide right now.
The government has become so convoluted that I'm not sure any one person can make it work. My guess is that if the Executive and Legislative branches of our government can not clean their own houses then we as a nation are on the downhill slide to obscurity.
Much of this comes down to the choice of the voters. To put it simply, if one votes for fools then one gets foolishness.
The sad thing is if you are the best and brightest why run for office? You can make a lot more money without the BS in private industry.
So it seems that when it comes to running the country we get the left overs. And our current condition certainly shows that to be a fact.

LMAO! Wow, All 2,000 polled? Man, the majority has spoken. Time to pack the bags and move to Mexico, I'm hoping since the government tells their countries citizens to come here, they won't mind me showing up and taking a job.
After all though "the respected pew research center's largest poll conducted" just said Hillary is our next president.
But hey, better her then some crazy like Ron Paul having a slew of net hackers/spammers crack the system and some how make him the winner.
I should have encrypted that in code so only the smart people could understand it, Pauls spammers will be here in seconds to down vote this comment.
:-( the internet - lawless... where nobodies with net supporters try and become somebody...

The one thing any runner should know is don't answer a question about what you are going to do till you get in the office. You discuss the status of the country as a whole and what you think will have to be straighten out. Right now there is no answer on what to do on certain matters as this administration is untrustworthy to three Quarters of the American people. The administration, we have now has made a lot of enemies out of the very ones that voted them in. People are mad and there will be some justice for the ones this administration has brought harm to. The one thing I have seen in my early life is that when you use God to steal, kill, or any evil to another human being, God gets angry. Some things go past the point of forgiveness. Why else is there a Revelations in the Bible?
