Does anybody actually like Hillary Clinton?

I see that Clinton won these elections in Ohio and Texas. Does anyone know why? She comes across as a completely ruthless and untrustworthy person and I can't imagine for a minute anyone actually being impressed by her. So why has she beaten Obama?

Well, IMHO, a percentage of people see voting for a woman as a positive thing, coupled with those who liked Bill, and those who for whatever reason, do not wish to see a black president.

The policies got left behind a long time ago. Since when did American politics have anything to do with policies?

I like her. As Tina Fey on SNL (2/23) said "Bitches get things done!"

I'm not opposed to Obama though ... just HATE republican candidates.

I like her as well Marcella. She also has more experience than Obama and that is one reason I would vote for her over him. I like Obama, but I just don't think he has the experience yet.
Hillary to me comes across as a tough woman, who gets things done. She is going to have to be tough when it comes to getting things done. I don't find her untrustworthy at all, at least no more than a regular politician.

ah well, don't say you weren't warned!

But I suppose as long as they don't invade any other countries I don't really care who is president.

I adore Obama.

Clinton is, in my opinion, a charisma vaccuum. I bet shaking her hand would be like fondling a cold fish.

I don't really get the whole experience thing? I think it was on the Real Deal that I heard her 'experience' described best. Just because she was married to a president it doesn't mean that she'll make a good president. It's like saying you'll make a good brain surgeon because you're married to one...you may have seen the video below, not sure if its been posted before, but I think it says a great deal about her character.

It's in 2 parts.

Part 1

Part 2

Hillary v Obama

Obama, if I have to- sort of a 'lesser evil' selection methodology

I like her. It was a toss up between Hilary and Obama and when it came to the final moment, I went with Hilary. I just feel like she has a little more knowledge of how to get things done. I, like others have mentioned, am happy with either - Republicans need not apply -- She's not perfect, she is a politician. We are moving into unchartered territory with either of them...very exciting!

Republican Candidate John McCain's camp is hoping that Hillary gets the nomination. They know that in a contest against Obama, they stand no chance of winning.

that makes sense PJ. Obama will destroy him given the chance.

The idea of 'they've got no experience so don't vote for them' was the fear-tactic that the Conservatives here used to instill fear and uncertainty in MOR voters during the 80s and 90s. The president doesn't actually do anything off their own back, unless he changes the laws to allow it, so they don't need experience as such - which is why they have the civil service and corporate advisors.

I'm personally not fond of either of them, but I somehow walk away with the feeling that Clinton is "acting nice" and putting on a show a lot of the time (but that's politics, isn't it?)--- I can't stand fakeness. That being said, I do think Clinton could do the job and do it well. I'm guessing we're going to see an Obama/Clinton ticket with Obama running for president and Clinton for VP.

And I'm going to go out on a limb here-- I think it might be a close election between McCain and them with McCain possibly edging them out. I'm not sure some of the "big boys" in politics are ready for a black or woman president, let alone a ticket that would see both of them in office at the same time.
