Not only right, but authentic.

2. I would vote for her in a heartbeat! I just wish she'd move back to NY
and if not run for President, take Hillary's place as my Senator!

4. Yeah, that's the kind of Senator
I would like too..what a concept.

Instead of one who you voted for but turned out to be not to be the one who would fight for the People.

To be fair the other choice was a piece of crap.

12. I am 100% convinced the Hillary was in on the big lie about WMD.
When I wrote to her not to vote for war, I even knew (like Boxer) that there weren't any WMD, and I received back a piece of garbage form letter stating that the war was necessary because of the dangers from Iraq. I knew then she was full of it.

As to the last Senatorial election, I think if NYer really knew the real Hillary, she never would have made it through the primaries. After all, a large percent of NYers were against going to war. Heck, the NYC Council voted on a resolution against it!

Meanwhile my cause right now is oust my Congresswoman. She is a bushbot that seems to run practically unchallenged where I live. I don't think the most people in this district has a clue about that, and my goal is to make them very much aware.

6. No way!
My Senator Boxer will leave California only for a higher office, not to be senator in another state. Get your own Barbara!

19. We've had 2 major earthquakes in the last 35 years, 3 if you...
count the Whittier quake in '87, in SoCal and 2 of them had epicenters in basically the same place (Sylmar and Northridge are within 5 miles of each other). Meanwhile, Florida has devastating hurricanes every year.

So my point is that earthquakes in California are over-hyped.

20. Never Florida! As to tremors.. I was visiting a couple of years ago
and felt one in my brother's home. Didn't like it one bit, although to be honest, when I lived a little south of here, in the lower part of my county, there was a 5+ quake.

3. There is no way possible for Barbara Boxer to be president
It could never and would never happen.

Unfortunately, that is the reality in which we live.

11. As much as I like Kucinich....
and think his type is exactly what this country needs, I have to agree that it is highly unlikely that he or Boxer would be President of this country, not as long as the sheeple and freepers and fundies keep breeding and passing along their intolerance and love of supply side economics.

21. She's a much more "personally appealing" candidate than
either Kucinich or H. Clinton, for example.
You know, the "Voter Irrationality Factor" (VIF).
She can actually smile without it looking like her
face is going to crack off. Her voice is strong yet
pleasing to the jangled modern nerves.... Unlikely, yes.
Impossible? Stranger things have happened. A woman's
gonna be prez some day. As burned out on white male neoconism
as the country's gonna be by 08, liberalism with an authentic
woman's face is going to be easier on the national nerves
than it's been ever before.

17. She would never ever get enough electoral votes
I'm sorry. I'd love to see it happen, but there is no way possible she could ever win.

8. I would get behind that
She'd be great! No Hillary but yes to Barbara! And McKinney can be her VP!

22. I think she'd be good as Senate Minority Leader
Especially sense Harry Reid is given John Ensign a free pass in '06 because of a campaign donation Ensign's father made. I think she'd be more vocal and do what needs to be done.
