Eurpeans Overwhelmingly Want Hillary As President
Not that she’s been pandering
Guardian:
Europeans overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton in her bid to become the next US president, according to a poll published today.
The poll, conducted in Britain, France, Germany and Italy, put Barack Obama, her main rival, in a distant second place.
Her high ratings in Europe may reflect her greater name recognition from her time as First Lady. The election campaign is still at an early stage and many of the candidates are relatively unknown outside the US. About half of those questioned in Britain had no view.
The Republican candidates trailed behind Ms Clinton, possibly reflecting antipathy in Europe towards the Bush administration over the Iraq war.
Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, emerged as the most popular, possibly again from greater name recognition from his high profile role in the aftermath of 9/11. His Italian background helped boost his ratings in Italy to 17.5%.
The poll was conducted by a Vancouver-based polling organisation, Angus Reid Global security. More than 1,000 people were polled in each country.
In the UK, 29.8% of those polled supported Ms Clinton compared with only 7.1% for Mr Obama and 9.5% for Mr Giuliani.
Ms Clinton enjoyed the biggest support in Germany, where she recorded 45.5%, followed by 43.7% in France, and 35.2% in Italy. In Britain, France and Germany, more men expressed a preference for her eventual victory than women.
The same questions were asked in Canada, where 38.9% expressed support for Ms Clinton, compared with 13.4% for Mr Obama and 9.6% for Mr Giuliani.
Other candidates, such as John Edwards, John McCain and Mitt Romney, barely registered, polling in low, single figures.

Who gives a FUCK what the Europeans want? Yeah they all want her as pres, because they are a bunch of socialist,libral pussies and she is both and has one to boot!!!!!
August 29th, 2007 at 12:54 pmThank goodness Europeans can’t vote (yet) in US elections!! No wonder they end up with the lousy leaders they have.
August 29th, 2007 at 12:57 pmwell then that’s where she should go….
August 29th, 2007 at 12:58 pm@tedders
“Thank goodness Europeans can’t vote (yet) in US elections!! ”
No they can’t, but we had a nice little body of election observers (OSCE) from Europe in the 2002 AND 2004 US Presidentials. The POTUS allowed the OSCE to monitor the 2004 elections as an alternative to the demand letter from 13 House demonrats to Kofi Annan demanding observers in the 2004 race.
And I am with Wendy, I could care LESS what they think.
My long time acquaintances on the blue side of the aisle tell me off record that THEY don’t even want to see her make POTUS!
August 29th, 2007 at 1:14 pmDon’t care who the Europeans want as POTUS. They don’t run this country…we do…And isn’t it interesting that in no poll did Madam Hildabeast garner 50%? Almost matches up with her US positives AND negatives.
Look, if there are any doubters I got a ticket for a dinner to Ruth’s Criss for anyone who takes this bet: That Hildabeast will lose the general election by 5 or more percentage points to the Republic nominee. Any takers?
August 29th, 2007 at 1:24 pmGhastly pic BTW. Why waste a perfectly good bodywith an ugly ass face? Sort of like casting pearls to swine isn’t it?
August 29th, 2007 at 1:37 pmI am for a woman in white house, whoever she is she’ll has to make the house white with Mr clean

August 29th, 2007 at 1:40 pmtedders, uhe, I thought that Sarko had a fair ear across the pond though
August 29th, 2007 at 1:43 pmWell the polls that count have placed French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Chancellor Merkel in place in recent elections, which are both friendly with Bush.
Poll all the socialist leftist you want, that same segment stateside had dr dean winning the Presidency last election also.
yawn
August 29th, 2007 at 2:07 pmYeah Castro wants her in the oval office too… Now there’s a real reason to vote for her. NOT!!!
August 29th, 2007 at 2:09 pmThis is the picture that Bill wishes was of his wife
August 29th, 2007 at 2:10 pmhad she been a procter & gamble representant, he would not have had his cigar dirt left behing
euhe, I’ll make the beer glasses into wine glasses
August 29th, 2007 at 2:37 pmBaaa! i dont know what else to add that hasnt already been said..but we’re not part of the European Union, they’re the ones who gave up their identities to become one giant beaurocratic mess..stay the hell out of our politics
August 29th, 2007 at 2:42 pmLOLOLOL, They can elect here EU President then.
Hell because they want her so, that is more reason to vote against her.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:50 pmThanks Pat, I’m sure that photoshop job will haunt me for the rest of my days! Dan, I’d almost be willing to take you up on that wager due to the fact that I believe the DNC will throw her overboard because of her high negative impact and that she will not win the primary. I actually hope she does win the primary because of her high negative numbers, but I have my reservations like the fact that I can’t stand her voice and I wouldn’t want to listen to her for an extra 9 months leading up to the general election.
August 29th, 2007 at 5:20 pmWhat Wendy said! Yeah!
August 29th, 2007 at 5:27 pmEurope deserves her.
August 29th, 2007 at 5:30 pmNow yunz guys, we must admit … Europeans DO think more highly about their whores and than we do.
Being the superior political prostitute Hillary is I can see how they would pine for her.
Anyone remember SNL’s (the late) Phil Hartman’s character he did … The German woman with the smeared red lip stick and degrading and insulting manner of nasty talk?
Yeah, Hillary.
August 29th, 2007 at 5:41 pmIf most of EurAsia want’s Hillary then we damn well better ensure that she is never be elected now!
August 29th, 2007 at 5:51 pmAnd many people in here are humming Cynthia’s “I want to be like Hillary”? LOL
August 29th, 2007 at 6:12 pmPlease Hillarity, go to Europe and ruin their continent.
August 29th, 2007 at 7:19 pmThey want Hillary? Too fucking bad.
August 29th, 2007 at 9:33 pmFirst of all, Hillary is not a liberal and is not a socialist. She is a centrist just like her husband, which by today’s standards would make her a moderate republican. No true democrat will ever again be elected president as the whole spectrum has been shifted to the right by Bill Clinton (by no means a real democrat) and then George Bush in the wake of 9-11.
The talk of Hillary being this crazy whacko democrat is only a talking point that is necessary to rally her republican opposition. She has said that she wants a responsible phased withdrawal over many years, and has consistently defended her role in supporting the war.
This tells me that maybe the Europeans aren’t that liberal after all(look at Sarkozy in FRANCE of all places) and would like to see a POTUS that is willing to be tough on Islimist terror, but cautious and responsible as well.
August 30th, 2007 at 12:22 amArgh. Europe.
August 30th, 2007 at 12:51 amHave they not all morphed into socialists?
Eric,
She wants socialized medicine and high taxes. I don’t think even the weak kneed republicans in the northeast even want that. She is left of center, accept that, she is not a centrist unless your definition includes the word ‘opportunist’. She just wants to be the prez, I don’t blame her, she just wants the power I think and could really give a shit less about us.
August 30th, 2007 at 1:57 amProgressive was what communists called themselves in the early part of the 1900s.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:24 amanyway, prepare to have a “liberal” for the next elections ;
I don’t care,
seems your majority is moving accorting to stats

August 30th, 2007 at 3:13 amFrenchy:
You should stick to French politics. You know nothing about American politics. Hillda will lose her ass if she gets the nod. So you might want to get used to conservative politicians in America for awhile, much like your own country…
The only thing that liberals have in this country is the ability to point fingers and an annoying arrogance…much like you Frenchy.
August 30th, 2007 at 9:26 amEric:
No Eric she is a “progressive” much like Marx. There is several aricles on the web where Hillary admits that she is a “progressive”.
Progressives are not traditional liberals. They are socialists and marxists.
Allen:
You might be right. But the bet is still on if you change your mind.
August 30th, 2007 at 9:29 amIts unbeleivable to me how when someone has such a lofty and virtuous goal as providing healthcare to ALL Americans, this makes them a socialist. If you can’t see that the standard rules of socialism and communism do not apply to healthcare, you are an idiot.
August 30th, 2007 at 9:41 amLet’s all hold hands and sing a chorus to kumbaya to Eric…
August 30th, 2007 at 10:45 amGo back to your hashpipe dellusion kid….
sorry Dan
