Hillary has already had her turn as leader of this country. Why should we want more?

I was happy in the 90's with people working and laws being passed to help out our family needs and not get fired.

I also don't think of politicians as having boobs. Yes, some have issues, don't we all, not just as professionals but as individuals. Which brings me to my point, that the same questions being asked about Hillary, are not being answered by our current president to many issues, home and abroad.

I believe Hillary can stand up to the boys club in D.C., just like I think our current house speaker can. It's not always the top gun who puts the brakes on various issues; rather, it is having the capability to work with the different levels of our judicial system and congress'.

I also believe actions speak louder than words and everyone has their opinion as to what is "the most crucial" point of our healthcare system. I believe Hillary is trying to grasp this very large issue at many angles. I don't care who she walked with that day with a nurse, or how many patients that nurse had that day or if it was or wasn't a union facility. To me what matters she was there. And I would have loved to have heard the conversation(s) between those 2 women that we don't know about.

So let's leave the sexism out of this very evident important issue: Healthcare. I have my beefs just as others do, and I'd like to think a different perspective might just be the beginning of a greater change than we could ever imagine.

Well, thank God!

I can't tell you how many people I meet talk about voting for Hillary simply because she is a woman. When you try to dig deeper, they have NO idea what she stands for. "We just want change" What kind of change???

I say this a lot - women are not monoliths. We don't all think alike and vote alike and raise our kids alike and dress alike. Stepford women, we are not.

So to vote for someone simply based on whether they are a man or a woman frustrates me.

Hey Stevie,
Times are a changin........And I beleive this particular race is a bit more controversial not only because of the issues, but of those running. People can change whoever said hasn't she (Hillary) had her chance. I say give her, her chance, just as all the other nominees are expecting people to say for them.

Absolutely she should be able to run.

Just don't vote for someone simply because of their sex. She (the generic she) could be an evil conservative.

it seems odd that the only one with experience with adopting any kind of health care [romney hadn't received any votes when i checked poll results
who ever is going to generate any change will have to a working relationship with congress
at this point in time i haven't made up my mind on anyone

I'm not even CLOSE to making up my mind. I want to hear what all of the candidates have to say about all of the issues, not just health care, even though that's very important to me and could be a factor in choosing between two or three prospective Presidents.

I can, however, guarantee that the only way Hillary is getting my vote is if the Republican candidate is worse.
