Hillary For President

With the Presidential election just two years away, and the war in Iraq still dragging on, the 2008 race is sure to be an interesting one. Several candidates have already been mentioned as possible runners in 2008. One person that has been mentioned as a possibility, and definitely has my vote, is New York Senator and former First Lady, Hillary Clinton.
I know that many people will probably disagree with my choice, but I think that Clinton would make a good President of the United States. I have always voted Democrat, and I think that a Democratic candidate has a good chance of winning in 2008. In the recent election in November, the Democrats took over the House and took control of the Senate. Considering what a mess President George W. Bush has made in the past six years, it is time for the Democrats to also take back the White House. It is sad what Bush has done to the economy since he has been in office, and how many more enemies we have made since he became elected. Unfortunately, every other country hates the United States because of Bush. The only thing Bush has accomplished since he has been in office is making his place in history as one of the worst Presidents we have ever had.
I have heard of a few possible candidates mentioned for 2008. John Kerry is one name mentioned, and it is safe to say that he has ruined any chances of running again after making insulting remarks about the troops in Iraq. Al Gore has been mentioned as well, but probably will not run if Clinton does. If Gore does run I think that Clinton would be a great running mate just like Gore was to her husband Bill. Hey, that is at least one step closer for Clinton to get into the White House. Gore has a decent chance of winning. He won in 2000. But that is a whole other blog post.
I think that Clinton is a very strong and smart woman, and will be able to tackle the tough issues. Not to mention, her husband Bill and 42nd President of the United States will be back in the White House to help her out. Bill as First Man? That does not seem too far-fetched now. Despite his scandals, Bill Clinton was a great President who gave us a strong economy, the lowest unemployment rate ever, and he cut the federal deficit. He cleaned up the mess Bush Sr. made. Maybe another Clinton will clean up the mess Bush Jr. has made.
The big question is, though, will Hillary Clinton decide to run? She does not give a definite answer when asked. Whether people agree with me or not, the first woman President may be sooner than later.
