What I have learned is that you have no alternative that you'd like to put forward.

If Crist or Romney ran, I'd review their positions on a wide array of issues, and compare them to the alternatives. I can not see a situation in which either of them would get my vote.

I am quite confident that when 2016 gets here, I'll have alternatives that are to the LEFT of Crist and Romney.

You have a tougher problem. You have no alternative to Hillary.

Better get busy.

So, do you think that such blunders on her part make her a fit candidate for the office? n/t MadHound Mar 2013 #2

Let's see ... if she had beat Obama in the primaries, I'd have voted for her. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #3

I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries. ananda Mar 2013 #4

I think she's actually to Obama's right, and far more hawkish, but that's irrelevant. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #6

So you're essentially saying that you'll vote for anybody, MadHound Mar 2013 #8

So you've have no alternative, got it. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #18

You stated that you thought that Hillary was to the right of Obama, MadHound Mar 2013 #20

You make a lot of assumptions. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #23

Speaking of assumptions, you make quite a few yourself, MadHound Mar 2013 #24

I think I already explained how I vote up thread. Maybe you missed it. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #31

You've explained it quite clearly, MadHound Mar 2013 #33

Yes, as I explained, you have no alternative. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #37

LOL, there's always alternatives, MadHound Mar 2013 #38

The good news is that others in the thread have actually proposed a few alternatives. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #40

Really? MadHound Mar 2013 #7

What is your opinion of a better alternative? MadHound Mar 2013 #5

Since I'm not a one issue voter, I'd be comparing across a very broad landscape of issues. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #10

That doesn't answer the question does it? el_bryanto Mar 2013 #9

Don't know yet, MadHound Mar 2013 #15

Its your OP, you brought up Hillary, making whether she has "thrown her hat in the ring" JoePhilly Mar 2013 #21

How many pundits are out there pushing somebody else besides Hillary? MadHound Mar 2013 #22

See, here's how it works ... JoePhilly Mar 2013 #26

Ooo, such a nice condescending tone you've got there, MadHound Mar 2013 #29

I set my tone to match the person I'm responding to. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #41

Yes I will support someone dumb enough to get fooled by Bush or agree with him el_bryanto Mar 2013 #28

Then you're not terribly discriminating, are you? MadHound Mar 2013 #32
