I think there would be two problems:
a)convncing the electorate that the whitehouse wouldnt get a kreche installed and be a 'sissy' in foriegn affairs/war. and,
b)differentiating her from her husband, building a platform (albiet likely very similar to his) but make it so that it can not be said that Bill has won another term.. and hence possibly even be constitutionally challenged. Though this challenge would fail it would effect her standing.

why... because he's black?

Rudolph Giuliani is a republican, it's rumoured either him or John McCain could get the spot in `08..

Rudolph Giuliani and John McCain both appear to be closer to being centrist than for instance Bush..

John McCain has campaigned against Bush at primaries last two elections he's more moderate. He should have won in 2000 but Bush made a late charge with Daddy doing a bit of behind the scenes work. He is easily the most likely candidate and would probably make a good President

Rudi Guiliani has been suggested, but he has said he currently has no interest, although on popularity he would probably even defeat Hilary.


i reckon a black president would be awesome
Barack Obama has been another suggestion for the 2008 Democratic ticket, fairly popular except reasonably new in the Senate apparently, more likely to run as Vice President. And evn then a black candidate probably wont appeal to a conservative America.

if the democrats want to even come close to winning in 2008 running a woman or an afro american isn't going to happen

as said by plenty of people, they need a southerner

fuck i'd hate to be a kerry voted living in the american midwest

actually i'd hate more to be gay, muslim or a woman living in america.

they probably need someone from the mid-west of the country, rather than the north east. They need to pick up the states in rest of the country if they want to win. ah well, done is done, we're stuck with the idiot son of an arsehole for the next four years, and who knows maybe a bull will run free from his ranch and run over his head.

btw did everybody know that George W Bush cannot run for re-election in 2008 as its stated in the American Constititution that a president can only serve a max of two four year terms?

wouldn't be surprised if he tried to change the constitution though and replace it with his personal interpretation of the bible

thank god for the founding fathers
The founding father's never restricted a Presiden't term. FDR won 4 elections (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944). The 2 term restriction was only added in the second half of the 20th century.
