Why Hillary has their vote

Displays why others are voting for Hillary Clinton. These are randomly selected.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is an individual who sees the benefits in crossing party lines to create an American where Republicansa and Democrats can coexist and work together, therefore creating a stable, and prosperous future for the United States of America.
Hillary has the experience and the poise we need as president. She has the ability to clean up America and put America back on top. She is respected around the world, and has the diplomacy skills we need.
She by far is the most intellectual candidate in the race. Anyone who has watched a debate can clearly see she knows what she is doing. And if you ask me, anway to get President Bill Clinton back into the White House is fine by me!
She's brilliant and seasoned and strong enough to handle cleaning up the mess. I saw her speak in Springfield, MA... She was very real and sincere. GO HILLARY!
Her policies are acceptable, and I think she has the best chance of beating any of the Republicans.
She has the strength and experience to deliver the change we need!
She has had experience in both the white house, and the senate, and has constantly been a breath of fresh air. I'm always excited to hear her speak, and I truly think she has the potential to be an effective, diplomatic leader.
I liked Bill Clinton's economic policies so I'm assuming Hillary will stay true to that. Also, it is the next best thing to Al Gore.
Because we Americans need a woman running the country.
SHE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE OUT THERE. INTELLIGENT, STRONG, AND KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.
Joe Biden is out. Obama has NO useful experience. Edwards is a creepy, slick hypocrite with NO useful experience. Richardson is ineffective. Ron Paul's a bit fanatical for my tastes, while intelligent, consistent, and honest. McCain is 71 years old, too socially conservative, but otherwise likable. Huckabee is to religious for my tastes. Kucinich is a freak. Giuliani and Romney are liars, flip-floppers, and absolutely ridiculous, though Romney moreso. Thompson is a joke.
her values and morals are that of my own. I have watched her grow since she was the first lady and feel as if she is doing a hell of a good job in New York and its time for her to run the nation
I love all of her ideas.. I also love a number of her bills that she sponsored in the Senate, especially her ideas for more student aid for college students and her ideas for universal health care.
cause she's a hard ass
Mrs. Clinton is the candidate most likely to restore competence to the federal government. She knows and respects the governmental process and has been involved in using government positively since she was a young lawyer. My friends who worked with her on the ABA Task Force on Women in the Profession rave about her leadership and diplomatic skills. I personally was present when she showed up and gave the keynote speech for the dedication of a Safeway at the Good Hope Marketplace in Southeast Washington DC when she was First Lady. This was the first grocery store built in that area in decades. No one who was present was rich or powerful or likely to give her much in the way of votes or contributions. She came because she believed it was important and she was magnificent. She spoke knowledgeably about the streets leading to the shopping center that would bring the neighborhood together. She remarked that the residents would no longer have to go to Maryland to shop. She spoke from the heart. I also was present when she came to speak at a small gathering on Capitol HIll in a townhouse for a fundraiser in honor of a local doctor who does breast cancer research at a laboratory at George Washington University. Again Mrs. Clinton spoke knowledgeably and with feeling about the scourge of breast cancer and what the government was doing to support research. I recalled that as First Lady Mrs. Clinton had been personally involved in getting funds for breast cancer research increased. I personally benefitted from that when I came down with the disease myself. Mrs. Clinton has been very effective as a Senator both for New York and for the nation. On the Armed Services Committee she has built important relationships with the military brass who respect her. She is well situated to recruit the best and the brightest to her administration to get us out of the present conflict in a way that restores American prestige around the world. I think all the Democratic candidates would be good presidents (with the possible exception of Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich). I am supporting Hillary Clinton because of events I have personally witnessed that show me that she supports the causes that she thinks are important and her ability to lead the government in a way that restores its ability to do the work of the people.
I'am Voting for Hillary Clinton for her experince, and her abilty natioanlly and globally. She has positive ideas for universial Health Care. It would also be nice to have a Woman President
Its about time a woman got hold of the ruins in the US.
She has the experience and the strength to lead our country
because i can and i like her....
She has the best chance of winning and my ideal is a Clinton/Obama ticket! Dems back in the White House after 8 years of GOP Hell!
Hillary Clinton is a born leader. This leadership quality was demonstrated in the recent democratic debate in New Hampshire. She is a power house in the senate and knows how to get the job done. Her views in politics represent many of my similar views. I believe she is honestly what America needs right now as a president.
she has the experience, and I feel she will support women.
Hillary possesses experience, compassion, and determination, as evidenced by her unprecedented run at the Oval Office, a brave move for this courageous female.
Experience !!!
Because she's the best option to lead the country with the most experience and ability. And because two Clintons are better than any other one candidate.
