  re: of course we can take it

  I'm voting for Hillary. I have faith in a Clinton, because Clintons know how to beat the evil people who have sullied our country's reputation and squandered the good will of the world. And that's the most important thing to me right now. We must win. You can't do shit if you don't win.

  That's funny, because the need to win is the exact reason why I don't support Hillary in the primaries. The only possible way to motivate the Republican base to get out and vote in 08 more than putting Hillary up as the democratic candidate would be to run a homosexual muslim socialist. Don't underestimate how much they despise anyone with the name Clinton. Also, take a look at how many people already have an unfavorable view of her in the polls. Do you really think she would be the candidate most likely to win?

  Also, one of the biggest reasons I don't want to see Hillary in the White House in 2008 is it will no doubt continue the bitterly partisan atmosphere that has characterized American politics for the past eight years. It will be counterproductive and will continue to distract from the real important issues for at least another 4 years. Now I'm not some kind of hopeless idealist that thinks that one person can bring both sides together in harmony and we'll all live happily ever after, but I do believe Clinton would just continue the current cycle.

  If you just want want some kind of revenge candidate to rub it in the faces of Republicans, which it seems like you do, then Hillary would be your best choice. But if you want someone that won't keep widening the ridiculous divide between left and right in this country then I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.
