Why Hillary has their vote
Displays why others are voting for Hillary Clinton. These are randomly selected.
because she has executive experience and has established herself as the most competent candidate
I support all of hillary's ideas, but I really think that it's time to get out of Iraq and bring our loved ones home.
I'm voting for Hilary Clinton because she's got more balls than any other president who actually HAS balls, she's got power and will actually use it, and because she knows whats actually going on in the world.
Cause she can make a good president and change america the right way!
Because I want to see a woman president in the white house and Hilary is one of our best hopefuls out there.
her values and morals are that of my own. I have watched her grow since she was the first lady and feel as if she is doing a hell of a good job in New York and its time for her to run the nation
She has the strength and experience to lead from Day 1 in the White House, and we're making history with the first female President!!!!!
Hillary Clinton is a born leader. This leadership quality was demonstrated in the recent democratic debate in New Hampshire. She is a power house in the senate and knows how to get the job done. Her views in politics represent many of my similar views. I believe she is honestly what America needs right now as a president.
I believe that she is the most qualified. I love her policies especially her healthcare plan. Contrary to what Senator Obama insuinuates I believe Senator Clinton is running out of sense of duty to country and fellow Americans not because she thinks it is owed to her.
I believe that her abiltity to get Co sponorship of bils by democrats and republicans alike shows an abililty to get things done across the aisle and this could also tanslate into getting things done internationally.
I also believe that Senator Clinton has been throughly vetted by the media and the GOP. She is in a better place to handle the attack machine of the GOP and fight back in the general.
She has the experience and the strength to lead our country
Mrs. Clinton is the candidate most likely to restore competence to the federal government. She knows and respects the governmental process and has been involved in using government positively since she was a young lawyer. My friends who worked with her on the ABA Task Force on Women in the Profession rave about her leadership and diplomatic skills. I personally was present when she showed up and gave the keynote speech for the dedication of a Safeway at the Good Hope Marketplace in Southeast Washington DC when she was First Lady. This was the first grocery store built in that area in decades. No one who was present was rich or powerful or likely to give her much in the way of votes or contributions. She came because she believed it was important and she was magnificent. She spoke knowledgeably about the streets leading to the shopping center that would bring the neighborhood together. She remarked that the residents would no longer have to go to Maryland to shop. She spoke from the heart.
I also was present when she came to speak at a small gathering on Capitol HIll in a townhouse for a fundraiser in honor of a local doctor who does breast cancer research at a laboratory at George Washington University. Again Mrs. Clinton spoke knowledgeably and with feeling about the scourge of breast cancer and what the government was doing to support research. I recalled that as First Lady Mrs. Clinton had been personally involved in getting funds for breast cancer research increased. I personally benefitted from that when I came down with the disease myself.
Mrs. Clinton has been very effective as a Senator both for New York and for the nation. On the Armed Services Committee she has built important relationships with the military brass who respect her. She is well situated to recruit the best and the brightest to her administration to get us out of the present conflict in a way that restores American prestige around the world.
I think all the Democratic candidates would be good presidents (with the possible exception of Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich). I am supporting Hillary Clinton because of events I have personally witnessed that show me that she supports the causes that she thinks are important and her ability to lead the government in a way that restores its ability to do the work of the people.
we need a woman, damnit!!!
BILLARY 2008
affordable healthcare for all, energy independence, reforming no child left behind, and transparent government reform? heck yes.
Hillary represents a change to a better future in the States and for Puerto Rico and the World.
Hilary Clinton is the most experienced, and enlightening of the bunch. She takes everything in stride, and is not afraid to tackle the hard issues, even for a woman. She is an in visionary who will lead the united states to a glorious period, specifically speaking on the financial and life-style aspect of it. Ohh btw, lets not forget who her husband is!
I love mostly everyone who's running (well, Mike Gravel's kind of a crazy man and Bill Richardson gets on my nerves for some reason), but Hillary's my woman. She wins at life.
She is the only candidate with the experience to know how to get things done in Washington.
I agree with a lot of her views and I think she would do a great job. PLUS, our first woman president!
Its about time a woman got hold of the ruins in the US.
She knows how to win, she knows how to govern.
She's the best!
I was fully behind John Edwards, so I decided to vote on heath care and environmental policy, both of which Hillary is stronger on than Obama.
Hilldog
Senator Clinton is a moderate, with progressive and liberal but reasonable social policy coupled with a reasonably hands-off economic approach. Additionally, she has more experience than any other candidate in the race, regardless of party, when it comes to the presidency. Obama doesn't have a platform (he's too busy trying to get people to like him), and he stressed his religious nature to strongly; Kucinich's platform is far too extreme to accomplish anything, and Edwards has the unfortunate baggage of his previous attempt at national office; if we want a Democrat in office, it'll have to be a moderate, and of the current front-runner candidates, it has to be Clinton.
