Hi Marlena - Like Andy, I like Hilary too. I hope she runs for president, even though she's a little too conservative for my taste. And in the state she represents, Republicans like her too. From what I've read, she's done such a good job representing her upstate constitutency -- upstate New York is very Republican -- that Republicans are in a quandary: they don't want a Republican running against her in 2006. Imagine Red-staters voting for Condoleezza Rice? She lies with all the competence of her boss. Liars like Rice Missourians will vote for? But hardworking leaders like Hilary you won't? She's out there working for the people who elected her, Democrats and Republicans alike, hustling, working to improve their lives, bringing home the bacon.
