Hilary Rodham Clinton for President in 2008

[Lostlover]

Mitt Romney would be the first Mormon...

Rudy Giuliani would be the first Italian-American...

Italian is still "white" and a Christian religious leader (Mormons are Christians) is nothing to write home about in America cause all our presidents have been Christians.

Now a black or female president is definitely a step forward... maybe a gay president in 2109?

Now a black or female president is definitely a step forward...

How about both: Condi Rice for president!!!

The anti-Hilary "vote" is based on a Liar's Production as is the Bush administration.

Provided she makes no big blunders, she WILL be president. She just knows how.

I want a president who knows the job.

Obama knows how to be a leader. That's most of the job.
Hilary has my vote because she knows the rest as well.

Agreed........

BushRepublican's lying about Hillary. As usual.

Yet Another Wingnut Sliming Of Hillary Proven To Be Bogus
March 05, 2007 -- 06:03 PM EST

Another day, another wingnut tale proven to be highly dishonest. Today's exhibit of winger mendacity -- pushed today by Drudge, Fox News, and some of the big winger blogs -- concerns the southern accent Hillary put on in Alabama yesterday.

Here are the details. For much of today the Drudge Report has been running the following enormous banner headline:

The Drudge headline links to this audio of Hillary speaking yesterday. If you listen to it, the main thing you'll hear is Hillary speaking in a southern drawl, saying phrases that sound like her own words:

"I don't feel no ways tired..I come too far from where I started from...Nobody told me that the road would be easy...I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me."​

As you can see, this clip makes it sound like Hillary is adopting not just this drawl, but this language and this down-home grammar, as her own. The righties have been waving this around to prove what a phony Hillary is. This audio was promoted by, among others, PowerlineBlog, Free Republic, Instapundit, and Fox News, which linked to it under the headline, "Will the real Hillary please speak up?"

But as always, a simple fact-check shows this latest wingnut preoccupation to be highly dishonest. The audio clip Drudge linked to cherry-picked that quote and removed it completely from its context, which would have shown that Hillary wasn't adopting this accent or grammar or language as her own at all.

Rather, it turns out that Hillary was actually quoting the hymn lyrics of someone else -- while clearly and very openly imitating (not very well, it turns out) the cadences she thought the lyrics would traditionally have been delivered in. There was nothing phony about it at all. Watch for yourself:

Hillary has an uphill battle. Her biggest hurdle is obviously convincing the majority of Americans to not only accept her as the first woman president, but to accept any woman as president.

Her second biggest hurdle is Rudy. If she were to win the Democratic nomination, beating somebody that has the image (false albeit) of being the hero of 9/11 is going to be impossible. Rudy is already way ahead in the polls, simply because the GOP is brainwashed with the hero thing.
