How will African-American voters respond to a Barack-Hillary showdown?

Handicapping the 2008 presidential race got a lot more complicated when Barack Obama indicated that he may enter the fray. The senator is young, poised, eloquent and telegenic—and could make history as the nation’s first black president. But first Obama would have to win the Democratic Party’s nomination by defeating a field that includes early favorite Hillary Clinton—who could herself make history as America’s first female president.

Hillary’s Too Vane To Be President

While the country is urgently engaged in finding a way out of the quagmire in Iraq, Hillary Rodham Clinton is busy holding private dinners for key Democrats from primary states and remaining curiously silent on the subject of Iraq. Indeed, as she has transformed herself over the last few years from first lady to presumptive presidential front-runner, the profile that has emerged is that of a politician more comfortable following than leading. There are politicians with great instincts as leaders — those who recognize not just the crises directly in front of them but those around the corner as well. (And these leadership instincts come from the gut, not from a multitude of consultants, strategists and pollsters.) And then there are politicians with great instincts as followers — those who are the first to stick their fingers in the air and notice even the slightest shift in the wind of popular opinion. Clinton is in the latter category: She is the quintessential political weather vane.

Hillary Can Win But Mustn’t

Now that Hillary has dropped the coy pretense of indecision that she used to justify her reelection to a Senate seat she no longer wants and has told friends that she plans to run for president, two questions present themselves: Can she win? And what kind of a president would she be?She definitely can win … and probably will. She is uniquely able to expand the electorate to bring in millions of women, mostly single, who will vote overwhelmingly for a female Democrat. The feminization of poverty, long decried by the left, will finally lead unmarried women to show up at the polling place and vote their short-term economic interest and vindicate their gender bias. In 2000, only 19 million single women voted. By 2004, their turnout rose to 27 million. With Hillary in the race, the single-female vote will probably go up to its proper ratio of the adult population — 33 million votes.

Can white men outvote single women? Despite the intensity with which white men tend to oppose Hillary, they can’t vote twice.

The enthusiasm that will grip many Americans — women in particular — at the cultural implications of a woman president will probably sweep through the primaries and cause many to overlook Hillary’s flaws and dismiss her defects. The generic of a woman candidate will prove so attractive that millions of voters will overcome their objections to the specific person who is running.

Her mastery of the establishment of the Democratic Party, her vast lead among ex-officio delegates — many of whom have received campaign contributions from her coffers — and the celebrity draw of her ex-president husband will prove hard for a mere mortal to overcome.

But should she win? No way!

Dick Morris: Hillary wants to be ‘President Rodham’

Should Sen. Hillary Clinton be elected to the presidency in 2008, she won’t use her married name of Clinton, but rather, her maiden name of Rodham. That according to Dick Morris, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, and who now writes a political column. “She would not be another President Clinton. She would be President Rodham. I’ll bet you that if she wins, that’s what she has people call her,” Morris told Fox News host John Gibson today on “The Big Story.” “I’ll bet anybody in the country that when she gets elected, that’s what she’s gonna want to be called. She won’t say it before, but she will.” (Excerpt) Read Entire Article

Hillary Is Jumping Into Race For Prez

Â

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday answered the question on everyone’s mind - telling one New York lawmaker flat out: “I’m really going to go for this.”

Clinton dropped the much-anticipated presidential bombshell during a blitz of phone calls to home-state lawmakers, as well as a top moneyman, Attorney General-elect Andrew Cuomo, and the Rev. Al Sharpton.

“She said to me, ‘I’m really going to go for this. I’m going to make this effort,’ ” the New York lawmaker told The Post.

“She never said she was running for the presidency of the United States or if she was going to announce - or anything like that,” the lawmaker said, quickly adding, “It wasn’t a question that needed to be asked. It was an obvious conversation.”
