Be honest, and in return you can do a "What do forum Republicans think of ________" and we'll be honest in return. Just this once...

I don't like her. She's a carpetbagger and rather self-serving.

I like her, but I don't want her to get the nomination, as I don't think she can win. She's not my first choice for the nomination, anyway. Overall, however, I think she'd be a good President.

I agree with most of her politics but not all of it.

I have no problem with her running for the Senate in New York instead of Arkansas or Illinois (if the people of New York didn't want to elect her they didn't have to elect her).

I think she has taken a great deal of unfair garbage because of her husband (both personally and politically).  If Bill had never been elected Gov of Arkansas she would probably hold the Senate seat currently held by Dick Durbin and just be another Senator.

I don't think she has the right temper for the Presidency.  I absolutely think she has the intelligence and the drive, but her temper sometimes can get the better of her.

Never having been in the situation of having a cheating spouse, I don't think I can judge her reaction to Bill's extra-marital activity.  I know a few women though who, when placed in the same situation, stayed married saying "I'm furious at what he did and I don't know if I can ever forgive him but he's still my husband".  I don't think I could stay with a cheating spouse, but in an odd way I respect those who choose to work on their marriage instead of giving up on it.

She is not nearly as powerful or evil as Republicans would like to think, but nor is she as politically astute as her admirers would like to think, she has an unremarkable and genric voting record and this liberal record combined with conservative antipathy would kill her in a general election in a far more pronounced way than it did Kerry... so she should not be nominated that said rather her than Dean for gods sake!

I don't like her. The media loves her, and the pundits promote her. I like routing for the underdog. If she win's the nomination I'd consider using force against her. But I don't think she is actually that liked at all even inside the Democratic Party.

I like her as a Senator, but I would never support her for President (unless she won the nomination).  Basically what Ben said

I like her policies and I think she'd be a good president, though she'd have one hell of a time getting there.  But if she could get there she'd be great.

I like Hillary and think she would make a good president, and would support her if she got the nomination.

I support many of her policites, but she seems like a robot who just exists only to move up politically. I'd support her against most Republicans.

Same here, except I'm not so sure on the last sentence.
Oh, and I prefer Hilary ca.92-94 to all later Hilarys.

Were Hillary to get the nomination I'd support her; however, she's far from my preferred chance

It seems that she'll run from the centre (which in itself is good) but how would she govern?

The Democrats need to select a more genuine centrist
