Do you think that Hillary Clinton will or should win the 2008 Democratic party nomination?
Why all the hate??
I belive that the united states needs a change in government. look what bush has done to your country and economy! i am a canadian/united states citizen.....in 2008 i will be voting for HILLARY CLINTON!!
She will change our would!
BTW as a canadian, univeral healthcare is the BEST....you all should see SICKO and then answer.... hillary is all for universal healthcare :-)
I believe that the USA needs universal healthcare, with that it will truly make it the best country in the world, as for now, its down in the list. As people in the USA need a comfort level with the healthcare system, too many people die because they cannot afford to pay for their healthcare :-(
As most of you live in the USA you wouldn't know what hit you if you received free healthcare :-)
And living in the northern states you should see all the people that cross the border trying to get free healthcare!!

Hillary Ducks Talk Of Clinton-Obama Presidential Ticket -AFP
LOS ANGELES (AFP)--Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, on Thursday sidestepped talk of having rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as her running mate if she eventually wins the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Answering questions after addressing students at California State University Northridge, the New York senator said it was too early to start thinking about potential partners in the November election.
Asked if she believed Obama could be her vice presidential nominee, Clinton said she was "superstitious" and "can't think that far ahead."
But although Clinton has repeatedly attempted to portray Obama as inexperienced and not ready to become President, she showered the Illinois senator with praise.
"He is an extraordinary man and he has so much to give our country," Clinton said. "I hope that however it works out that he will be a major figure in American politics for years and years to come.
"I certainly support that."

I like John Edwards and Hillary Clinton but I don't believe Edwards can pull off a win against the Republican candidate. I believe Hillary knows what she is doing, she has been in the ring with these people before and she can win the election for President of the United States. Love her or hate her, she has experience, dedication, intelligence and will bring much needed change to the country. She will be inheriting George Bush's mess in everything from the war, the deficeit to the economy and she is brave enough to take it on.

Hillary may win the nomination, but she should not win at all. The only reason she is a popular candidate is because she is Bill Clinton's wife, and she is the first legitimate woman in a presidential race.
She is vague on the issues, she gives people only what they want to hear, and her tears before NH may have caused the vote to go her way.
Now if Obama cried, he would be seen as weak...
And Obama's universal healthcare plan is better, because it makes it affordable. Hillary's forces all Americans to have healthcare, Obama's makes it affordable so that people will WANT to be a part of it.

Clinton will inspire republicans to donate large sums of money she will continue the partisan divide in our country. She will also inspire more republicans to get out and vote and will hamper any ability the democrats will have to gain enough votes in the senate to overcome a filibuster to get anything passed. She will promote the idea that only a couple well connected families can be elected while she vacations like they have been in recent years in Kennybunkport Maine with the Bushes. She will not be able to address the corporate control over our politics she is accepting huge amounts from the drug companies who would help draft any health care legislation. I believe in universal health care but the devil is in the details. We do not need a system like we have in the veterans administration.

Have you ever considered the long term effects of Universal Health Care. Our Economy is weak enough already without the government throwing away billions of Dollars. What about the insurance agents who will lose their jobs, what about their children. Obama dosn't force health Insurance but still would offer it for anybody.

Maybe she win but she shouldn't win. She not made many change with her many years experience, way now. All my money I spend for insurances. For exp: life insurance (cobra)just form me I pay right now 425.45 every month (every year is higher just this year $58.00) next year no more Cobra and no insurance because I had twelve years ego heart problem. Bill promise same like she now.

Perhaps some of you should listen to Hillary a bit closer; she is not for Universal Health care! She knows that will not sell in America! She is for protecting those without insurance, providing health care for them, not for the entire U.S.! I think this is a good idea. Although I don't wish to vote for her, not all of her ideas are bad, just her campaign funding!

First off "BTW as a canadian" I lived in the Northern states long enough to see Canadians flood our hospitals for care that they can't wait for in 6-7 months. Don't preach to me about your failed health care system. Second for you to preach the same rhetoric as the candidates regarding "change" is absurd. Not one gives any realistic form of change and I do not want my country to become some failed socialist society. I work hard for what I have and no way should I have to give to those who REFUSE to better themselves. She wants to play Robin Hood at a Federal level. What people don't remember is that in the great socialist country of mother Russia only the "elite" the politician s have the money and they power. I'm not giving up my right to self preservation or personal responsibility. It is not my job to take care of you or your family, that is yours. It is not my responsibility to put food on your table for your children while you sit on your couch watching Springer. Would you do that for me?

I think she is very likely to win the party nomination. I am personally interested in Edwards, but would be happy with Clinton or Obama as well.

Thanks for this question!
I did see SICKO and I agree...if there's one issue that should be a high priority in voting this election, it should be health care.
With that said, Hillary is the only candidate who has even come close to proving herself in that field.
