Comment: Andrew Sullivan: New York warms to Hillary... next it could be America

Something quite unusual is happening to Hillary Rodham Clinton. She’s becoming popular. In New York state, where she is the junior senator, her approval ratings are in the stratosphere. When she became senator, many sceptical New Yorkers — they’re not pushovers — were partly persuaded by the Republican campaign against her.

Would it be hate speech to call Andrew Sullivan a slut?

She is as phony as a three dollar bill. Anyone who believes what this POS has to say is short on brain cells.

This is a U.K. paper...
What in the world do they know about New York, let alone the voter attitudes in New York?

This rag must have internal ties to the New York Times.

Let's face it; NY (NYC in particular) hardly represents the rest of America. It, like the Left Coast, are a pair of kooks and wackos...she'll never warm up to the rest of America. Hillary and her boyhusband, Billy, will never be accepted by the normal American public. Remember, he never won the majority popular vote in either election.

"...The anti-abortion forces are dominated by evangelical Christians and conservative Catholics. The last thing they want to get into is a debate on how contraception can be a check against unnecessary abortions — because they will split into Catholic and Protestant camps.

And that’s exactly what Hillary has pushed them gently into. Advantage Clinton..."

What the heck? This must be an English point of view about splitting up Christians.

New York isn't America, thank God! This state is a lost cause and Republicans really should leave states like NY, California, Massachussetts, Vermont which are consumed with a very liberal mindset. No wonder she is so popular in NY. Is there any doubt why she chose to pick this state to propel her to the Senate, as she wouldn't have such an easy time in Arkansas. Hillary really is built up by the media but she will have a hard time. Notice how she avoids any serious debate or speaking out on issues. She's not red state material and people only need be reminded of her partner in crime's mistreatment of our military and failure in doing anything about Bin Laden and terrorism that brought on 9/11. She is nowhere near being Commander-in-Chief material.

As a resident of one of the red counties in the mostly-red-countied state of NY, I take good-natured exception to that remark :)

Or this: What many people disliked about her was what they perceived as her unreconstructed liberal politics and her use of her marriage to gain and wield political power.... But in 2005 Senator Clinton has...won election in her own right. That changes everything.

Yup, she just shut off that old "use of her marriage" switch and hey, presto, was re-born as a centrist with no ties to her past. This "won in her own right" spiel is ludicrous. She "won in her own right" using all the machinery, the contacts, the money, the DNC, the pardons, the donors... all the corruption she spent years building on her morally bankrupt partnership. But she won in her own right. No, she won using all her old wrongs.

Oh no, my friend. The Times of London is a bought-and-paid-for Murdoch mouthpiece. Can't get any more conservative than this...

That was an election promise. Under the 'I'll promise anything if you vote for me."

Correct me if I am wrong but I lived in the greater NY area when she ran for the Senate in 2000. I do not recall her having even ONE press conference, just her and the reporters firing away. The press let her totally off the hook by not asking her a single probing question about the pardons to the Puerto Rican terrorists or the Hassidic Jews who were jailed for stealing 2.5 million in education funds. Hassidic Communities are overwhelmingly conservative and yet the community these two were from voted 85% for Hillary. BTW, the money was never returned.
