Hillary 08?

Can Hillary win in 2008?

Dick Morris says yes. The rest of Morris' article is crap, but there is one interesting paragraph. From his article in The Hill:

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.

I've always thought that the first woman president would be a Republican because women are perceived to be more liberal then men, so a Democratic woman running for president might be viewed as just too liberal. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

If Hillary does run, does it force the Republicans to at least put a female in the VP slot? I think so. Could be a really interesting field of candidates next time.
