Hillary Clinton Says She Can Beat GOP, New Poll Shows Republican Sweep
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Hillary Clinton campaigned in Iowa over the weekend and claimed she was the best of the pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidates to take on a Republican nominee next year. However, a new poll finds Clinton losing nationally to all of the top five Republican presidential hopefuls. "I believe that I have a very good argument that I know more about beating Republicans than anybody else running," Clinton said. "They've been after me for 15 years, and much to their dismay, I'm still standing." "I'm leading in all the polls, I'm beating them in state after state after state," she contended. "I think they have looked at the field and figured out who can best beat the Republicans." However, a new survey released Monday by the Zogby polling firm finds Clinton trailing all of the top five Republican candidates, four of whom are campaigning on a pro-life position. The Zogby International poll found former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee doing the best against Clinton. Thompson leads her 44-40 and Huckabee leads 44-39. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney leads Clinton by a 43 percent to 40 percent margin while Senator John McCain is ahead 42 to 38 percent and even pro-abortion ex-mayor Rudy Giuliani leads 43-40 percent.

It has been catchy idea to have the first woman ever elected in the US to the post of presidency. Actually, I do believe the time is coming nearer for this to happen. I just do not see it being Hillary. The reality of her as a person taking that office is starting to actually sink in for some Americans and you will see her numbers continue to drop. Whoever gets the nod from each party, it really doesnt matter, there will be a very close general election.
I am also not so sure of her being the best because the Republicans have been after her for so many years. They were after Bill, not necessarily Hillary, with the exception of her whole failed health care initiative. However, the fact that there was enough dirt laying around for the Republicans to be after both of them may not be the ideal platform to run from. To me it sounds something like: "When my husband was president, the Republicans spent millions to try to trip us up. Vote ME in and they can spend tons more of your money foraging through our dirt again! But don't worry, we are sneaky enough not to get caught!"
Hillary gets caught flip-flopping too much. It is unfortunate that she has not learned how to flip-flop correctly from her husband (as he was a expert). Hillary is also not the most ingratiating person in the world and this also hurts her. She is strong and does not back down gracefully from much of anything and when she does it feels like she is trying to trick you. There is definitely a credibility issue with her as a candidate.

As a general rule, people who crave power scare me. I think anyone who shows the level of obsession with power Mrs. Clinton has should be barred from office. I just hope the American people see her for what she truly is.
The novelty of her sex shouldn't be an issue for her being president, if she were to be the first female president it would be a bad start. Rice on the other hand is an extremely competent administrator, unfortunately she doesn't want to run for office.
I would pick Hillary over many of the GOP candidates including Rudy G and Mitt Romney. One isn't a conservative and the other flip flopped to be a conservative. But I don't like her over most of the democrat candidates now either. Its nothing personal, I just don't think she would be a good president. She seems to slip further and further into the Washington way of thinking, until she has become practically the poster child for business as usual in the White House.
The Hillary Clinton I Know
In the final weeks before the Iowa caucus, the Hillary Clinton campaign is ramping up efforts to gain supporters?by showing the other side of Hillary. This week, the campaign launched a website of testimonials praising the Democratic candidate for president. On the road in Iowa, Clinton brought friends and family onstage. She's just 4 points behind Obama amongst likely Iowa caucus-goers, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll released today. Will the new campaign strategy give her the edge?

Hillary Clinton Avoids Question on Abortion and Social Security Problems
Des Moines, IA (LifeNews.com) -- Campaigning in Iowa with just two weeks to go before the first presidential battles begin, pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton largely avoided a question of how abortion is hurting social security. A woman in the audience said abortion is going to make it harder to keep the system afloat. Joanne Duncalf, a 61-year-old from Clarion, Iowa, asked the kind of question that normally doesn't come up at a Clinton campaign stop. Duncalf asked Clinton her thoughts on how to fix Social Security so the program for seniors will be around when her children are ready to retire. According to a Des Moines Register report, she followed up with a second question and explained that, if abortion hadn't been responsible for killing 50 million Americans, the system may be more solvent than it is now with more people in the workforce contributing to it. "I'm very disappointed," Duncalf said, that "we're not doing more to save those babies." Clinton initially avoided the question by making a comment on the large red hat Duncalf wore. She eventually got to the abortion aspect of the question but simply said she has worked to keep abortion "safe, legal, rare." The New York senator said there is time to fix Social Security and blamed Republican presidential candidates for scaring voters by saying it has problems.
