But she can&#8217;t be elected to President in a general election, and will loose to <strong>ANY<\/strong> GOP candidate. Not because she is a woman, but because the GOP has been poisoning the internet with anti Hillary propaganda for years with &#8216;she kicked the dog&#8217; stories. There is an outside possibility she could be a vice-presidential running mate, but I don&#8217;t think she would like the second seat.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.intrade.com\/jsp\/intrade\/contractSearch\/searchPageBuilder.jsp?z=1187814949388&#038;grpID=95#\">Barack Obama<\/a> looks to be a good Democratic nominee. But he will loose to <strong>ANY<\/strong> GOP candidate. He will not be elected by the U.S. population, being black will not be too much of a hinderance, but not an asset, being raised Muslim will be brought up, and September 11 will be on everyones mind. Unfortunately Obama could prevent a democratic presidency even if nominated as a vice-presidential candidate. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.intrade.com\/jsp\/intrade\/contractSearch\/searchPageBuilder.jsp?z=1187814949388&#038;grpID=95#\">Al Gore<\/a> is the strongest Democratic candidate, but he has not even declared, and due to internal political infighting he probably won&#8217;t get the nomination even having won the majority popular vote in 2004, loosing to George Bush only due to illegal vote rigging in Florida by Jeb Bush, brother of the <strike>thief<\/strike> president.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.intrade.com\/jsp\/intrade\/contractSearch\/searchPageBuilder.jsp?z=1187814949388&#038;grpID=95#\"> John Edwards<\/a> would make a good running mate.
