Hillary Clinton

I'm certainly rooting for her to win.

You think that was why she did it [I dont think that there is any doubt from people that she did?]

If it happened, I wonder if gets her health policies through as she wanted too when Bill was in power. She had to keep it zipped (no referance to Bill) because it was very unpopular.

I think the fact that she didnt have a public email account will yet be her downfall. I dont think that she will become the President.

Well, she seems a decent sort.

I've just read an article about this in the I newspaper and now I'm not so sure that Hillary is a good thing. The writer pointed out that you need an absolute fortune now to run for president and is it a good thing that only families like the Clintons and the Bushes can afford to do so? He added that such dynastic and rich families can run the Us of A to suit themselves. Hmm....... he does have a point, I think.

I think the US is ready for a woman president, so good luck to Hillary Clinton, I say. The media are saying she may be at a disadvantage as she would be 69 when she became president. She's looking good, though, so I suggest they avoid these ageist comments.

Hillary seems to be the voice of reason, good luck to her!

Please not another Bush!!

She was on Mumsnet a while back - we managed to get one question in from Gransnet. I think she's got a very strong chance of becoming president - even more so if her opponent is Bush!

I think Hillary is fantastic. I saw her interviewed on This Morning last year and she was full of fun. The presenters said afterwards she had shaken hands with all of the crew and asked them about their families etc. To be honest though, I don't know anything about her political views.

Go, Hilary !!

Good luck Hilary. I hope she becomes America's first female President.

I don't know much about American politics or the exact circumstances of the link posted by janeainsworth but wasn't it good to hear a question put without interruption and then, more importantly, an answer without interruption? The pantomime that we see in our parliament is very annoying.

Yes, I also admire Hilary Clinton and would be interested in learning more about her policies.

She will be 69!!! Would you have the energy? And she's not been without the occasional cock-up. I admire her enormously, but other candidates will emerge.

I would vote for her. I have enormous respect for Hilary.

YES! I'd back Hilary definitely.

Yes, "go" Hillary

Awesome! High-five Hilary Clinton.

Good Luck Hilary - you're an inspiration.

I was delighted to see Hilary is to stand and hope she becomes president

Yep, all of those! My excuse, "brain-tired" when I posted last night

Uncompromising?

Assiduous? Unyielding? Conscientious? Diligent? Resolute? Sedulous?

Maybe not quite the word I meant, but "takes no prisoners" in a debate. By "merciless" I meant she stays calm, 100% in control, is not fazed, knows her stuff, is incisive and can deal with opposition without losing her cool. (Still trying to think of the synonym I had originally had in mind!!)

Is 'merciless' a good thing, then?
