Top Ten Reasons to Vote for Hillary Clinton for President in 2008

United States Senator Hillary Clinton is a major presidential hopeful for the Democratic Party for the 2008 Presidential Election. She seems to be gaining a good lead over her opponents, such as Senator Joe Biden, former Senator John Edwards, and Senator Barack Obama.

Many said she would run in 2004, but it didn't happen. Maybe she was waiting for the right time. Maybe she thought we needed four more years to be able to deal with the idea of a female President. Maybe she had some other strategy.

Well, she waited, and now she is here. Senator Hillary Clinton is running for President in 2008.

1. My strongest argument for voting for Hillary Clinton is Bill Clinton. Hillary will be able to consult with Bill and discuss ideas with him regarding issues in the daily run of the Presidency. Bill Clinton might not have had the most morals of any President, but I think overall he did a good job. This is not to say Hillary couldn't do well on her own without Bill, but she will just have an added advantage.

2. She can hold her own. Hillary can hold her own. She is very charismatic and stands up for herself well. When asked questions during interviews and talk shows, she is always able to look the interviewer directly in the eye and respond in a competent fashion. She also isn't intimidated when asked hard questions.

3. She is a powerful speaker. I think this is an important quality for a president. She is able to make strong, competent presentations at Presidential debates, and come across like she knows what she is talking about. I like the answers she gives for most questions, and I don't feel she is there to bash other candidates or to even dodge issues. I think she really wants us to know what her viewpoints are on different subjects. She is able to get them across well. This will be important because when delivering speeches, she will need to be able to get her point across, and have buy-in from the American public and foreign officials.
