I can name about 5 states that Kerry won that Hillary would probably lose.
She swings a few of them blue states back in play, and there is a better chance that she would swing texas then there is of her winning Florida.
Next to Janet Reno, Hillary is the 2nd most hated woman in the democratic party with cubans there.
Even some of the more liberal cubans loathe her.
The Cubans don't run our state though. There are more NY transplants than Cubans. And there are a whole lot of elderly who don't want government monkeying with social security and medicare. Medicare is going to be a big issue in 2008 because it's expected that the medicare system will go broke some time between 2010 and 2012. Jeb will be gone, and we'll probably have a Democrat in the gov's mansion, judging from how the field is shaping up now.
I'm trying to think of which Blue State won't vote for Hillary? CA? NY? Washington? MA? VT? NH? ME? DC? Ill? PA? All slam dunks for Hillary.
The best bets are MN, WIS, and perhaps MI or OR, but I'd put money on all of those states voting for Hillary, and even if she'd lose WIS or OR, it would not matter, provided that she wins Fla.
I think the GOP needs to start thinking realistically about Hillary. She'd be a disaster of epic proportions.
This was as a favor to her for her senate run. Worked too!
