January 25, 2006 -- WASHINGTON — Most American voters now say there's no way they'd vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president in 2008 — while just 16 percent are firmly in her camp, a stunning new poll shows. The Gallup/CNN poll found that 51 percent say they definitely won't vote for Clinton (D-N.Y.) in 2008, another 32 percent might consider it, and only 16 percent vow to back her.
That means committed anti-Hillary voters outnumber pro-Hillary voters by 3-1.
Men are especially anti-Clinton — 60 percent say there's no way they'd back her for commander-in-chief, and that rises to 62 percent among men 50 and over.
Among women, 22 percent say they'd definitely vote for Clinton, but just 11 percent of men agree. Her support is also lower among whites — 14 percent are committed supporters, compared with 28 percent of nonwhites.
Even among self-proclaimed liberals, just 33 percent say they'd definitely vote for her.
The poll suggests she can forget about crossover votes — 90 percent of Republicans and 75 percent of conservatives say there's no way they'd back her.
Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines, brushed off all questions about 2008 polls, good and bad, saying Clinton "remains focused on being the best senator she can for New York."

Me, too!
Please, no one should underestimate the ice queen.

I think if this story had been written 10 years ago, it would still be accurate.
McCain will be rendered a nonfactor beyond the primaries. He has to be nominated at the convention in order to be any "threat".
A special Her Heinous ping for you...
I sure hope so. It's amazing how the LSM is trying to push him and his RINO pal Rudy Guiliani as potential Republican candidates. They would shatter the party, but then they all know that.
I support HRC running for president in 2008...
...but only because I known she'd be crushed by whomever we put out there.
I think the pudgy lady in the purple cap is Barbara Mikulski.
Screw the media. The media by now has the credibility of a crooked lawyer and shady politician, in the eyes of the average voter.
Is she wearing THE pants suit?
WHY HILLARY MUST NOT WIN. WHY HILLARY CANNOT WIN. December 7, 1941+64 The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive. We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will? In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst? Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival. What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times. COMPLETE LETTER
THE ABSURDITY OF A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HILLARY
AN OPEN LETTER TO TIM ROBBINS, DAVID GEFFEN, CHRIS MATTHEWS, MAUREEN DOWD + JEANINE PIRRORE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton
Dear Concerned Americans,
Hillary Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton
However, on a positive note - she might make a good "human footstool" for Condolezza Rice(?)
democrats lying about being Republicans and conservatives
As I've said again and again, Hitlery, if she ever did get the nomination, would generate the largest negative turnout ever in an election. Why some scared rabbits here live in mortal fear of her is beyond me.
Ditto. They always start out with phony lines like "I've been a lifelong Republican, having voted for Goldwater blah, blah, blah, but now I'm voting for Hillary Clinton." Ahh yup, we're fooled.
