The media is sucking on the "battle" between barak and hillary and is all "OMG SUMWAN WHO IS NOT A WHITE MALE MITE BE PREZIDANT!!!!!!!!!!!11".
It is clouding their judgement, but since nothing can be done about this and the democrats will win the 2008 election there is no choice but to say if I were a democrat I would root for Barak.
I do not support Barak though as I am a libertarian and direct my efforts towards educating people to the fact that Richard Campagna or someone should be our next president.

I know, it is so disgusting. Gender or race should not be an issue in who you vote for. In my state, we had a female gubernatorial candidate & a female senator, and a lot of people I know were like: "OMG I'M GONNA VOTE FOR HER COZ WE NEED MORE WIMIN IN GOVERNMENT" (Disregarding completely their position on the issues, and pretty much blindly supporting them based on their gender.) I can imagine the same thing happening next election if Hillary/Obama takes the democratic nomination for president.

Obama and Hillary have no chance in hell of winning. Gore and/or Edwards is their best shot(s) but will still come up short. Im almost 100% sure McCain will win

Liberals are supposed to be about personal freedom and low economic freedom yet Hillary enjoys banning everything aswell as the democrat tradition of bumping up tariffs and taxing anything their cult-like followers who enjoy ignoring the facts almost as much as michael moore will permit. Low personal freedom and low economic freedom = totalitarianism.

You left out a lot of information on Hillary's civil liberties background. She's even bitchier than you are letting on.
Voted NO on redeploying troops out of Iraq by July 2007, hopefully bringing a close to this colossal waste of resources.
Also:
Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license. The legislation would create a national gun registration.
Hillary is rated a mere 21% by NTU, indicating a "Big Spender" stand on tax votes.
Hillary is rated 17% by the CATO institute, indicating opposition to free trade and free markets.
So to summarize? Hillary Clinton is a statist. She is opposed to individual liberty at nearly all fronts, and I fail to see how any liberty minded individual could possibly vote for such a bitch in good conscience.

B-b-b-b-b-b-ut Hillary is pro-choice, and I hate fetuses, so I'll vote for her instead of a pro-liberty candidate, then I'll go lecture other 4channers about why they should never vote for a pro-2nd amendment republican out of preference for the 2nd amendment because I think its immoral to prioritize liberties like that.

Only person on the GOP list I'd vote for is Rudy Giuliani. I'm tired of the Republican Jesus Freaks who manage to stay in power by appealing to the dumber half of the population. With the Southern Strategy, there's no way Obama would win, and for some odd reason the Right is as scared of her as much as they hate Clinton, even though she's just some Soccer Mom Stater.
Worst case scenario. A significant portion of fundies dismiss the republicans because of the war in Iraq and the polls say they would vote for Hillary if she became the democrat candidate. Hillary is popular enough with the liberals to be declared candidate and so does run for president. Hillary wins by playing on the liberal's desire to reduce economic freedom and the conservative's desire to reduce personal freedom.

The front runners will for sure be Hilary and Obama for the Democrats and McCain as the presidential Candidate for the G.O.P. I dont know who will run as vice though. McCain will win due to his moderate policies. You can quote me on this.

No. McCain has no appeal anymore, after running and losing so many times. He's too old, and the liberals who follow the news have seen that he's sold out. Giuliani has a broad appeal, and the fundies don't hate him that much. I really hope the Democrats don't have Hilary though, between her and Giuliani, I think I'd take Giuliani.

Hillary will win, because it's the worst thing that could possibly happen. Isn't it obvious?

Well the absolutely worst thing that could happen is an all out nuclear war in which people for centuries to come have to endure a hellish wasteland and afterwards civilisation must rebuild again without the aid of fossil fuels or an ozone layer.

"Hillary will win, because it's the worst thing that could possibly happen. Isn't it obvious?"
That is far more worse than the post concerning nuclear war, polution, etc.
newsflash: hillary isn't a leftist, she's a Republican sellout, I'd put her down at moderate at best

Republican? LOL. Have you looked at her voting record? She does indeed support many policies that have come to be associated with the neo-cons, but that doesn't make her right wing. She's pretty much the exact opposite of the libertarian-right. She's something like 'statist-left' or something.
