She has experience. She is able to make decisions. Obama is a good man but great speeches fall on deaf ears when one can't lead. Hillary needs to challenge Obama, win the 2012 election, and step up to her deserved place as President.

Obama's presidency is an unmitigated disaster. Everything he touches he dstroys. Hillary Clinton is also a novice. Both are totally unprepared for the gravilty of the positions they hold, but Hillary could certainly do no worse than Obama. She did nothing meaningful politically as a senator in New York. What a travesty. But doing nothing is still preferable to the downright havoc Obama has caused by his inane, left-wing policies.

I voted for Hillary in 2008 and was saddened that she did not make it. Although, now I wish I would have not voted at all. Being a democrat I really did not have much choice, so I bought into the "Change" idea. Well, so much for that. I hope Hillary runs in 2012 - she has my vote and hopefully people will then have come to their senses and vote her in.

I always vote for the person I feel can do the best for our country. after 8yrs of bush politics I felt obama was the person to ease world tensions and make the US a better place to live..
so far the world tensions with allies and our enemies has lessened...
with the failures of economy,health insurance reform,afganistan,illegal imigration ,loss of jobs,and a lower standard of living here .
most are thinking this is not gonna change soon.
The republician party has no idea how to solve all these problems except reduce taxes and goverment spending.
the conditions are all here for a challenger to obama. Clinton has proven see can do a great job . I expect she will step down, as obama pol numbers drop below 20%..
still time for others to jump in to seek this .
the republican party is also in trouble . no clear message , just a lot of attacks with no substance..they need to get new people into that party...If not the tea party will destroy them ..

Barely a day's gone by since the 2008 election when I ruefully look back and think how different, and better, things could have been had Hillary become president. She was, and still is, the better of them all. including Obama.

Hillary Clinton for President in 2012 makes total sense for Democrats. Obama isn't going to win a second term - no matter what his White House staff says!

We would be so much better off with Hillary. I usually vote Republican but I believe Hillary would be a great President It is shameful that we elected a community organizer with no experience so we could have our first African American President. Hillary is a leader; Mitt Romney is a leader. I don't care about parties, I am looking for a leader. It is time we come together and vote for the future of OUR country. I am sure we will have an amazing
African American President one day, but it is not going to be Obama, sadly. Wake up people and don't jeopordize our country to make yourself feel better. Hillary is capable and should already be President!

If Hillary Clinton is not the Democratic Nominee in 2012 I am voting for the Republican. I don't care if the Republican is Satan. Obama stole the nomination from Hillary Clinton in 2008. I once was a Democrat. I will never vote for another Democrat if they don't get it together.

I voted for McCain over Obama. Had Hillary Clinton was on the '08 ticket, I would have voted for her. I would vote for experience and/or war veteran any day over a "feel good, can we just get along" speaker.

Hilary's got my vote for 2012! She is a fabulous leader and incredibly qualified. It's also TIME for a woman president!
