http://dailykos.com/story/2005/2/10/03948/5660# She has the political clout and experience to run as an effect campaigner. No one else in American politics knows the game and what she wants from the game better than Hillary.
# Hillary enjoys virtually universal name recognition. The voting population knows who she is. Half of campaigns nowadays are spent getting the name out there, with campaign aides praying that they will have some time left to actually get out policy positions.
# She is a woman. I know what you are thinking, but more than half of American can relate to her. This should not be under estimated. Republicans, I have talked to, have admitted that, even as a Democrat, they would vote for her because they want to see a woman in the White House. Believe it. We all would welcome that.
# Hillary can appeal to all members of the Democratic Party. She can hear and speak to all of the voices of the 2004 campaign and consolidate them into a unified voice and as a result a unified and indestructible party. Health care was her issue and it is now everyone's issue. She can appeal to single parents, the elderly and suburban mothers when she revitalizes the fight for real healthcare.
# Her fundraising prowess is second to none. She can rake in more money in an hour than any other Democrat these days (well maybe her husband might be able to top her, but hey he'll be campaigning for her)
# She has the foreign policy experience needed for healing after the fallout around the planet with Bush's policies. She is on a first name basis with all of our allies and is know worldwide for her humanitarian missions and speeches. Her role on the Armed Services Committee has given her the needed experience to be commander in chief.
I'm already salivating at this thought. Please Democrats, please, PLEASE, for the love of all things good and evil, please put her up. Do you guys really thing "Hillary can appeal to all members of the Democratic Party?"
