Enough With Hillary Clinton

I can't figure out why, for the life of me, anyone really thinks Hillary Clinton can get elected president. Besides the fact she's Hillary Clinton, she hasn't exactly had the most honest and straightforward campaign and her pandering on the war vote has hurt her the most (especially in my book.) The last thing we need is a pandering, wishy-washy polarizing candidate...have we learned NOTHING from John Kerry?

Now it has become clear that Hillary Clinton gets badly defeated against Republican front runner Rudy Giuliani in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, two states the Democrats MUST win. According to Quinnipiac, She loses in New Jersey to Giuliani 50%-41% and ties McCain 45%-45%. I, personally, am still not comfortable with someone who only TIES the GOP opponent in New Jersey. In Pennsylvania, it's worse, She loses to Giuliani 53%-37% and to McCain 45%-41%.

So Basically, she has a lick of a chance against the equally wishy-washy McCain, but not against Giuliani.

As a New Yorker, it ticks me off that Rudy Giuliani is running away with the Presidential race because of the fact he looked good on TV on 9/11. To be honest, I think there are many more politicians, Republican and Democrat, who would've performed just the same or better than Giuliani on 9/11 and still they're not too qualified to be President. What does Giuliani think about the war in Iraq, homeland security, social security, taxes, budget, illegal immigration, FEMA, health care? I have no idea, but he doesn't need to tell us, Mr. Hero Mayor will just be elected President by sweeping a bunch of blue states and then suddenly find his conservative self and become an anti-gay, anti-choice, pro-gun, pro-prayer Bush clone, cause he has to and again, America will fall for another round of bullshit...just as we've been doing all decade.

Democrats need someone who will go toe-to-toe with the clone in hero's clothes, run away with the election and increase the Democratic majority. We've worked too hard and come too far to nominate a pandering polarizing Senator who plays well in her home state, but not nationally.
