She'll never run. She has never held an elected office. There is no way the Republican Party would let her run.
AlbqOwl said:To quote some Arkansas relatives: "Hillary ran in New York instead of Arkansas is she was just "too important" and it would just be too embarrassing to be a senator from Arkansas even though we put her and Bill on the map. Even us Arkansas hayseeds, hicks, and hillbillies are smart enough to see that." Needless to say, Hillary probably won't be getting Arkansas's vote if she runs for national office.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning? I agree with Teacher. Not only do I seem to agree with him, I somehow seem to understand what he's saying. This isn't the "9-11 was an inside job" thread is it?
Appears we didn't learn anything from 9-11, why would we learn anything from this? Hey, maybe instead of just having storms categorized from 1 to 5 we can get a committee together to assign colors to go with those numbers.
Is it just me or is September just not our month?

SKILMATIC said:Yep never say never. On the other hand, even though I think she is a better candidate then hillary I think she would never be elected becasue of the everlasting prejeduceness of color. Its really a sad thing.

BWG said:Why would they start now? No, I'm not saying Republicans are prejudiced, they're just not rushing to promote minority candidates to represent them.
Of 3,643 Republicans serving in the state legislatures, only 44 are minorities.
In the Congress, with 274 of the 535 elected senators and representatives Republican, only five are minorities - three Cuban Americans from Florida, a Mexican American from Texas and a Native American senator originally elected as a Democrat.
I think there is no prejudice among most Republicans who vote, and I think the GOP is more than willing to be the first party to nominate and elect a black president. She (Condi) would be horribly attacked by some other minorities who can't stand one of 'their own' being conservative--in fact they've already done unimaginable nasty hatchet jobs on her--but she's a tough, smart, savvy lady and she took it all in style--way more intelligent than the average bear.
I'm pretty sure Colin Powell would have easily won the nomination had he run in 2000. If Condi did decide to run, I think she would run a dynamite and very credible campaign. If her opponent is Hillary, I think she would have a shot at winning. Hillary is much more vulnerable with negatives than Condi is.
Too bad there aren't any facts to support this statement. The FACT is that of all the groups who support Democrats Blacks are the most loyal and the largest percentage within any single group.AlbqOwl said:There is a steadily increasing number of minorities among the GOP ranks
There's not one single Republican Black American in Congress, none, zero, zilch. This is "steadily increasing numbers"? I think not.

SKILMATIC said:Yeah and they are stupid for it too. :lol:
They vote for the party who instigated and wanted to keep segregation. Yeah sounds like they are REAL GENIOUSES. :doh
If I am not mistaken I beleive wallace was a moderate deomcrat? Or mabe I am wrong.
AlbqOwl said:To MM: My relatives (in laws actually) are as entitled to their opinions as you are yours. And yes, I would have more respect for Hillary had she run for an Arkansas Senate seat. I don't fault her for running for the seat in New York and the law definitely did allow that. But 'no fault' and commendable are not necessarily the same thing.
mixedmedia said:I am not saying that their opinions are less relevant than mine. I'm not saying that at all. Only that it sounded as if you were using their opinion to make a blanket statement about the feelings of Arkansas residents in general.
And I didn't realize it was your own relatives you were referring to.
What exactly is not commendable about it? This I don't understand, 'cause truthfully, even though I brought it up, I don't object in any fundamental way to the Republican Party bringing an outsider in to run in Illinois or here in Florida or anywhere for that matter. I don't understand how exactly it is indicative of dishonesty or any other unscrupulous behavior outside of normal partisan competitiveness. This is America, not Europe. We all speak the same language, we're all Americans. There is no reason to believe that someone from Texas would be unable to competently represent the state of Florida, etc., etc. Perhaps that is why the law is written to allow the people to decide who is best to represent them regardless of where they come from. After all, you don't even have to have been born in America at all to hold a seat in our House or Senate.
I for one would love to have Hillary represent my state in the Senate. Big surprise, I know....
SKILMATIC said:You didnt agree with me casue I implied that condi wouldnt be elected because of race. You simply just said you think condi wouldnt be elected casue you feel that hillary is actually a better candidate, not for being a different color.
You dont even know when you are agreeing with anyone:doh
You said you didnt agree with me as far as condi being a bettter candidate which says to me and everyone else that color wouldnt be the issue. You think condi isnt a better candidate. So race and color wouldnt be the issue to you.
god I dont understand you :roll:
