Will America's next president be a woman?
If Hillary Clinton chooses to run in the 2008 presidential elections, she would have a better chance at winning than any other democratic candidate. Hillary Clinton has two unique advantages: she is a woman and two, she has Bill. You would never think being a woman would be an advantage for a presidential candidate but America is seeded and ready for change.
Some experts think that Hillary won't even make it past the primaries but they're wrong, for quite a few reasons. According to the polling report in June 2008:
| Polls | % |
| John McCain (R) | 47% |
| Hillary Clinton (D) | 40% |
| Unsure | 13% |
| Democrat | % |
| Hillary Clinton | 31% |
| Al Gore | 18% |
| John Kerry | 14% |
| John Edwards | 11% |
| Joe Biden | 4% |
| Mark Warner | 3% |
| Wesley Clark | 3% |
| Evan Bayh | 2% |
| Russ Feingold | 2% |
| Bill Richardson | 2% |
| Chris Dodd | 1% |
| Tom Vilsack | 0% |
| Unsure | 10% |
Food for thought....Why's
Stronger voter turnout
I'm predicting that the coming elections of 2008 we will see more voters at the polls than ever before. Today's young American's have faced more grief, anger, frustration, fear and worry about the future of the whole world, then their parents ever had too. The turmoil of war, 911, Iran, Hurricane Katrina, the environmental cause, the Immigrant issue and the list goes on; has awaken the young American vote. I believe we will see more young Americans voting and more minorities voting in 2008. This demographic pull is coming to the 2008 polls and it will be significant.
The stereotypes of woman are still relevant but not set in stone, anymore.
The younger voters are very open to a woman leading this nation. The baby boomers are hesitant but open, and the older American's will become open because Hillaryhas Bill at her side. Each generation has its own biases but the germinated path of woman's rights has had over forty years in social change; thus leaning towards the acceptance of woman as equals and leaders. It's not far from reality that a woman can take her place as leader of this nation.
Bill Clinton in the background
Bill Clinton is still well respected. He can no longer run for office but getting Hillary in, is one way to resurrect Bill. Bill Clinton's background role also puts a sense of ease for those still uncertain in Hillary's leadership abilities. Bill Clinton is a political security blanket for those who might object to a woman as president.
International Relationships
The turn of events during Bush administration has created this key player- American'sincreased concern in International affairs. Women are known as great mediators and the communicators of patience. Men also tend to trust women more. A woman's ability to authenticate our nation's sincerity and trust could strengthen international relationships. If Hillary becomes president, establishing good relations with foreign leaders will not be an unfamiliar ground to her. Hillary, as the wife of a previous president, has met these leaders before.
Al Gore- The Environment
Al Gore is passionately voicing the magnitude of Global warming. We still have another year and half before the elections but by that time, I believe environmental concerns will supersede one's loyalty to a political party. Al Gore once walked by Bill Clinton's side as Vice President. Al Gores relationship with Bill and Hillary will assure some Americans, that the White House will make environmental concerns a priority. Al Gore, Bill and Hillary are all advocates for the environmental cause but who America trusts, could weigh in favor of Hillary Clinton. It would be foolish for the green party ticket to even pick a candidate if Hillary runs because she will take most of those votes.
Health Care
National health care is something that Hillary and Bill Clinton have a long reliable history as advocate's for this. In my opinion, it's an over the rainbow promise because an 8.3 trillion debt nation stands in reality lane. Yet, come 2008 it will be a selling point for many, even if it's on borrowed money.
People will choose a leader not based by their political party stance.
You can be a Republican and vote Democratic. You can be a Democrat and vote Republican. Political party stance will not be as valued as before. People want to know what matters to the candidate and crossing over party lines won't be considered a compromise.
Social Change
Today, social change dismisses the once required respect of our leadership. We're slightly rebellious, as we speak our negative opinions without any concerns in the value of appropriateness. Very few are shocked by the condemnation of any president, anymore. Democracy is freedom of speech, of any nature, but if it entails a voice against our leadership, it should still be required by its citizens, to be done respectfully. Times have changed.
Hillary and Bill Clinton have spoken very harshly at the Bush administration and at times hypocritically, but still to do so, can gain the rebel vote. It is true that America is divided on the war in Iraq and our emotions are strong. We don't want another war. The candidate America chooses will speak those concerns and agree with the majority, no matter how they say it. Judgment for appropriateness is a dying social structure in America and some support that.
If Hillary runs she won't get my vote. I do have many friends who are Democratic. We agreeto disagree and yet to passionately respect our individual uniqueness but for me, she wouldn't be my choice. I have read from a few notable prophets recently, whom also predict that our next president will be a woman. I'm sure that will make more news as we draw closer to the elections.
To conclude, I'm going out on the limb today on my blog and stating- "If Hillary Clinton runs I predict she will be America's next president." The land is seeded and ready. See yah, in 2008.

The fairy tale is over.
Obama's pixie dust is wearing off.
A few in the corporate media are finally starting to reveal some details about this man's judgment.
I speak of Obama's long association with his spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Obama says he didn't know Wright was far, far left. While that is hard to believe, it says that Obama is not a very discerning judge of character. And it shows poor judgment for a presidential candidate to allow such an extremist to serve on his campaign.
Rev. Wright says AIDS was created by the US government to kill black people.
Come on!
"I didn't know about that man, Rev. Wright." Is that what Obama is telling us?
But there is more to come.
Obama's friend, William Ayers, is an unrepentent terrorist.
An Obama fund raiser, Rashid Khalidi, supports terrorists.
Wait till these tidbits come out. Maybe they won't release them till after Obama wins the nomination.
These associations with radicals show that Obama does not yet have the judgment nor the experience to be at the top of the ticket. -
We tried having a woman in charge. It was chaos. Saying that though, most of the men have been just as bad.

Hmmmmm?
Bit of a generalization there. And even if it is true, was it a wise thing for a presidential candidate to say. I don't think so. I guess we'll see on April 22.
Also, Wikipedia describes Rashid Khalidi as Obama's friend. Obama may even have raised money for Khalidi's charity.
Wikipedia says Khalidi used to work for the Palestine National Authority. So Khalidi may actually have worked for Yassir Arafat.
Khalidi has said a few interesting things too. Like he implied that Ariel Sharon was a terrorist. Or he made both negative and positive comments about Arafat, his supposed former employer.
Khalidi explained that Israel didn't like to talk to Arafat because he was a terrorist.
"But I could say the same about Sharon," said Khalidi.
Indeed, I feel Khalidi is correct but I suspect most American voters would not feel that way, especially those "pro-Israel voters from New York and Florida."
"Pro-Israel voters from New York and Florida" is a quote from Tony McPeek, a foreign policy advisor for Obama. McPeek's statement was "we don't have peace in the Middle East because of those pro-Israel voters from New York and Florida."
I agree with McPeek too but as Mrs. Obama stated, America is basically "ignorant." So most voters would not agree with McPeek, especially those crucial pro-Israel voters.
I agree with McPeek, Mrs. Obama and Khalidi.
But I'm not running for president.
