If it's Clinton v. Giuliani look for the most negative presidential campaign ever.

[MoonRiver]

They both have an incredible amount of ammunition to use against the other, and it is guaranteed that the fire fight will be vicious. Also, according to the latest national poll they are neck and neck.

Who comes out the winner after all that smoke clears is anyone's guess.

[jgraz]

1. Whoever comes out the winner will be so crippled that they won't be able to lead

Think Bill in '93.

[MoonRiver]

2. Depends on what happens in Congress

I think our chances are better for taking more seats in Congress than getting the WH if Hillary is our candidate. But if she does win, she'll have a friendly House and Senate I believe.

3. EXACTLY What The Corporate WHORE Media Wants!!

They're Salivating over the prospect of having another Clinton they can bash for 9 months.

My guess is they are going to get the close horserace they're seeking. Look for the polls to show a relatively close race, especially since the media will be working on keeping Clinton's numbers under control.

The last thing they want is a clear cut runaway, like Al Gore. It looks like, as usual, they'll get what they want.

[MoonRiver]

7. Yep, keeps the ratings way up if we're all waiting with baited breath

for the latest Blitzkrieg political analysis. :eyes:

4. Divide and conquer

and we're the ones being divided.

5. Rudy to Hillary.

My dress is prettier than your dress. And where did you get that awful lipstick? Pat Robertson has a good make-up artist. You should visit sometime.

Yes, downright vicious.

[ThomWV]

6. To be honest I don't see a whole lot of differences between the two of them.

[MoonRiver]

8. That won't stop them from slugging it out.

All most of America sees is D and R.

[zbdent]

9. Between those two candidates ...

Dems have the nukes, just not the delivery system ...

Repukes have the delivery system (SCLM missiles), and will bash heads in with rocks and sticks ...

[Rageneau]

10. Clinton will not run a "negative" campaign.

Neither Bill nor Hillary are dirty fighters. They are tough campaigners, yes, and they will hit back when attacked, but there is not a single example of either one using 'underhanded' tactics to win an election. ('Underhanded' includes such Republican methods as Swiftboating, calling Max Cleland a terrorist, suggesting that McCain's wife is a druggy, etc.)

Rudy may very well dive into the mud -- and you can be certain that the Republican Party as a whole will, but HRC will stick to issues and policies and will not engage in the politics of personal destruction. In fact, I don't think ANY of the Democratic candidates will.

[theoldman]

11. I agree with you.

I just hope that they hit back ASAP and don't diddle around like John Kerry did.

[MoonRiver]

12. If they broadcast the truth about rotten Rudy, they will be getting dirty.

It will be the easiest and most honorable smear campaign ever.

[msongs]

13. and that's just from the anti-Hillary crowd at DU... :-) nt
