Hillary is the Senator of NY, so she has her experience in politics (not to mention she was very influencial on Bill's decisions when he was President. Plus, she's the 1st First Lady to ever hold a national office, and has a solid background on Law and Politics. If she really plans on running for Pres in 2008 (although before people thought that she was supposed to run for it this year), it wouldn't make sense for her to run with Kerry this year, because he's probably going to run for re-election in 2008. It wouldn't make sense for them to be opponents, unless she plans to wait untill 2012 to run for Pres........ if she even has presidential plans at all. This years elections will be interesting if she does decide to run for vice-pres.
Kerry isn't a strong candidate....I mean he's cutting even with Bush right now. If Hil... was his running mate for VP...that would definitely get him in office. I guess her strategy would be to outshine him and get the democrats to back her . Then when it comes time for re-election of Kerry... get the democrats to put her on the ticket. I'm not real familiar with politics...but it sounded like a plan to me :lol:
Kerry was never a strong candidate....how he managed to win the primaries I will never know. Hillary will definately bring him more votes. But I think that if Hillary runs with Kerry and they win, it looks kind of odd for Hilary to turn around and run against him in 2008. It would have been like Gore running for Pres after Clinton's first term. People thought he did such a good job, so people figure why fix something that isn't broke. Unless Hillary plans to run in 2012, then it would probably make more sense for her to run with Kerry for Vice-pres now. I think Hillary should go for it and run with Kerry (because if he's any good, he'll get re-elected in 2008), but she should wait until 2012 to run for Pres......that is if old age allows it :lol:
Hillary would give him big votes...but what does she stand for...how is she doing as senator of NY? Just thought I would know instead of just tossing votes.... Hell what does Kerry stand for..can I get a website or some cliffnotes. I want to make an educated vote.
Hilary aint gonna be his running mate. She said she needs to worry about her responsibilities and finishing her term as Senator of New York...then maybe when 2008 rolls around it will be a different story.

VICE PRESIDENT HILLARY; SPECULATION INTENSIFIES IN WASHINGTON
Official Washington and the entire press corps will be rocked when Hillary Rodham Clinton is picked as Kerry's VP and a massive love fest will begin!
So predicts a top Washington insider, who spoke to the DRUDGE REPORT on condition he not be named.
"All the signs point in her direction," said the insider, one of the most influential and well-placed in the nation's capital. "It is the solution to every Kerry problem."
MORE
"There are three issues that this campaign will be decided on -- national security, health care, and the economy, not necessarily in that order."
"Kerry believes that no one is better on national security than he is, he served in Vietnam after all, so he has that covered and the suggestion that he needs to strengthen the ticket with someone who has national security credentials is dismissed as foolish."
The insider continues: "The Democrats feel like health care is the domestic issue. But how to make it the dominant topic of conversation -- break through war and ****? Hillary Clinton. She catapults it out front with her commission. She tried to provide health care before and the Republicans in congress attacked her and her husband and used a bunch of **** dirty tricks to stop it, we know they are **** and dirty tricks because the former president book says so. So now you have the number two person on the ticket who is a 'health care expert' and what will Republicans do? Attack on health care pointing to her commission saying that it was government medicine. Her response -- it wasn't, and the Republicans are a bunch of dirty tricksters, "Liars and Crooks," as Kerry calls them, and its been too long and Democrats wont let the Republicans do it to them again. By the way, it puts prescription **** on the back burner, the Republicans health care ace. You will have a fully engaged national debate on health care from now until the election."
MORE
"The Democrats economic plan is to say Bush ****, it's never enough, we must get back to the Clinton Era when 22 million jobs were created. You can't do much better at making that point then-- Kerry/Clinton 2004.
"But what about impeachment and Monica -- wont that overshadow her being picked? It' now been covered in the book. Not only that, but she is a women scorned who has dealt with what so many American women deal with and stuck it out to keep her family together. And Whitewater? It's in the book. Vince Foster? Book. Billing records, White House travel Office? Book, book. All have been covered. All Republican slime tactics.
"Why would Kerry make such a public spectacle about trying to get John Mccain, wont whoever you pick be considered a second choice. Not if it is Hillary!
"There are differences of opinion about how this election will be won but one school says its all about the base. Republicans are bumping up against the ceiling with support from their base and Democrats are sitting on the floor. This would change that.
"Official Washington and national media will fall in love with the idea immediately letting Kerry/Clinton dominate the news through July and up to the Republican convention. She will say she is doing it for the good of the country. I am convinced this is going to happen."
MORE
"But what Hillary about having to wait to run for president? If Bush wins then she is the nominee for 2008 because it will be all Kerry's fault. If she wins she is the first woman VP of the United States, which would help her become the first woman president of the U.S. It would be historic in its own right and change the nature of politics in this country, and mark her place in the history books for ever-- a different history than her husbands."
