Maybe it is time to start fundraising already, to show Hillary we want her!

[quinnox]

Wow, all this clamor for Hillary already, and it is only in the first part of Obama's second term. That says something, yea, it says a lot. Maybe the big power players should start a campaign fund up for Hillary already!

1. I want Warren for president. Enough of the third way, it's time to get a

president that isn't under the influence of Big Business. Who doesn't have friends like Rubin and Bowles, enemies of SS.

From now I will be looking very closely at who is funding candidates and who their friends are who might end up in our Government. Like Monsanto Execs eg, or Republicans.

When I support a democrat for the WH I am not supporting Republicans being returned to power with the help of that democrat. This will be a huge factor for me in the next election. Mostly I will be focusing on Congress because no president can do anything, like selling out on SS eg, if we have a truly Progressive, Democratic Congress.

31. Thanks, I would not support Hillary, did not support her last time either.

We need to cut ties with all candidates in our party who have these kinds of ties to big business.

[quinnox]

9. Alrighty then

We all have our preferences.

[Autumn Colors]

10. + 1,000,000 -- Warren/Grayson ticket, please! (nt)

[peacebird]

2. Good grief. Please, let's focus on taking back the house first?

[MineralMan]

14. +435

[Cleita]

3. I don't really want Hillary.

I want FDR. Who is our FDR?

[markiv]

15. Kramer didnt like FDR

[Comrade_McKenzie]

33. And I want Huey Long...

But all potential candidates are benchwarmers compared to Clinton.

[HappyMe]

4. What about 2014?

[quinnox]

5. what about it?

Let's do both!

[HappyMe]

6. I'm more worried about 2014.

Has Hillary said that she is running?

[quinnox]

8. No, but all these important people are talking about it

in the news lately. Like Carville and other Clinton people. That must mean something.

[blm]

13. They did it in 2002-3, too. Gee...wonder why.

.

[larkrake]

12. I dont want Hillary

[tularetom]

16. If I thought Hillary would stand up to the people that want to trash Social Security and Medicare

I'd support a movement to impeach Obama and Biden and install her as President. But I really don't think her approach would be any different from Obama's so if she wants to run in 2016, fine, I'll probably vote for her.

Unless an actual Democrat decides to run.

[RevStPatrick]

17. Fundraising? Now?

How does that work?
I've got better things to do with my money than contribute it to someone who has not said she is running, in like, 2 and half, 3 years from now. If you started fundraising, where would the money go? And if she decided not to run, what would happen to the money?

I don't think you've thought this through...

[Deep13]

18. I'm sure she has been fundraising for quite some time. nt

[limpyhobbler]

20. Shouldn't we ask her position on Social Security cuts before throwing money at her?

[99Forever]

21. No more Clintons OR Bushs.

Ever.

This nation may never heal from the damage done from them already.

[markiv]

23. free trade came mostly from Clinton

although Bush Sr would have done the same, had he been re-elected

[dmosh42]

22. Maybe the country will be ready for 'less corporate types' in 2016? More fairness.

[markiv]

24. the country will, but the powers-that-be wont

and never will

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. With all of her corporate pals I doubt funds will be a problem for her.

And, because she's a DLC/3rd Way/Triangulating Centrist, paying the pals back won't be a problem for her either.

[AtomicKitten]

26. You go right ahead; she'll need it.

She raised and burned through $100 million in 2007:

[L0oniX]

27. The worshippers approve. n/t

[tabbycat31]

28. Focus on downticket races first

The presidential is 3.5 years away and Hillary has the ability to fundraise. If the Democrats really want to make headway, we need to take back the House, keep the Senate, and take back or maintain our majority in statehouses throughout the country.

There are races this year to watch too. 2 governor's races and 1.5 statehouses up.

[LWolf]

29. .

I don't want her, lol.

[NightWatcher]

30. I'm sure she'll do ok

She's got time off to rest and get her campaign machine in place. I love when THEY ALL go to 100k a plate fundraisers then turn around and beg for money from us average peeps.

[el_bryanto]

32. I want another middle of the road third-way Democrat who will be sure there are no

meaningful reforms on Wall Street.

Wait a moment - no - I want the opposite of that.
