[Salvation]

Oops, I forgot to warn everyone!

[Tim Osman]

I understand about Bush,

but Hillary???????

I can't believe even 16 percent of Democats would pick her as the most admired.

Then again, I do have some friends who love her and constantly try to get me to read her book. I guess she's got her fans.

[farmfriend]

I'd take Condi over Hitlery any day.

[CyberAnt]

Isn't Newsday ultra liberal ..?? If so .. that should explain it. I think this is nothing more than another prod at Hillary to run against Bush.

I don't think she has the guts .. because if she loses (and that's almost a sure thing) .. she'll be on the scrapheap of history.

[John Lenin]

If Hitlery is a role model for American women something is definitely wrong in this country.

[Helen]

Sounds like the Hitlery spin machine in action. Why else would anyone even care about her level of popularity compared to Bush? Howard Dean might care, of course...and maybe Gephardt... Maybe, just maybe, she is the 10th dwarf - a stealth candidate, unable to be honest, trying to avoid questions by not really being a candidate, and trying to slip and slime her way to the top spot with a claim to be as popular as President Bush. Clintonian to the max.

[xp38]

I prefer pairs of Bushes.

[sweetliberty]

I think I'm going to be sick now.

[expatguy]

I understand about Bush, but Hillary???????

Because she is a female and a large percentage of the public feels pity for her and empathizes with her "struggle". She is a woman shamed who's husband cheated on her.

[Mo1]

When people were asked to name the man they admire the most, Bush was picked by 29 percent.

(snip)

Sen. Clinton, was named by 16 percent,

Oh this title heading is very misleading .. it makes it sound like President Bush and Hellary were tied or the poll numbers were very close

Now I would like to know why any one would admire a lying, stealing and corrupt women like Hellary .. who continuously allows herself to be a doormat?

Oh and I LOVED the 3% Bill got ... hehehehe

[DarthMaulrulesok]

Well...Bush I understand (resolute in war and all that) but HILLERY?
Why admire her - for her utter shamelessness and ruthlessness in seeking polititcal power? What has she actually done on her own to benefit the country? I can't think of anything - unless it is to set an example of how to act if you are a power hungry socialist.

[metalboy]

I understand about Bush, but Hillary???????

It`s about good and evil...Some will always support good and some will always support Grade A 100% psychotic straight from the deepest bowels of hell, Evil.

[RichInOC]

Jeez...I admire my own senators more than I do Hillary. Not that I'm voting for Dianne Feinstein or (God forbid) Barbara Boxer any time soon, but they made their own way in politics, instead of riding on their husbands' coattails.

[No Dems 2004]

I can never understand how ANYBODY could admire a low-level opportunist like Hillary Clinton. I mean, she's even ineffective as a senator - when was the last time you heard her bridge partisan gaps or anything - she's just another plug for Democratic filibusters.

I don't admire her any more than I do the president of France.

[thesummerwind]

The same Queen of Darkness who wrote this slop:

"Protest is part of the search for self-definition, the attempt at coming to terms with our humanness. We are all of us exploring a world that no one understands and attempting to create within that uncertainty ............, we’re searching for more immediate, ecstatic, and penetrating modes of living."

What a load, and how admirable!

"we’re searching for more immediate, ecstatic, and penetrating modes of living" - like cattle futures? What a woman.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I'm not surprised that Hillary won. People who don't follow the news like her. I know someone who doesn't watch Fox News or listen to talk radio, and she thinks Hillary is such a wonderful person. I tried to fill her in, and she was shocked.

[Prodigal Son]

It's important we don't forget this or we could be in for an ugly surprise later on. The fact is loads of people in the center and on the left admire Hillary and Bill. It is all well and good for us to joke about it here and act as if everyone on the planet has similar views but it's getting to be crunch time again- elections.

If Hillary gets on the democratic ticket somehow, we can defeat her but not by ignoring the fact that lots of people do in fact admire her. I say this poll is good intel and we should use it wisely.

Dean is a sure fire loser if he gets the nomination. But a Clark/Clinton ticket is not such a sure fire loser. I would like to have more faith in the American people but this same American public elected X42 twice. Something to think about, they would probably have elected him again if he had run a third time. Imagine that- right now Slick still in office.

I think the Clintons have rightly sussed that the American people largely vote emotionally and based upon appearances rather than substance. If, as many dems have concluded, a dem candidate must be strong on defense issues and foreign policy, Clark, if handled effectively, could be molded into the proper form in a way the other dem candidates have no hope of achieving. Now, before anybody gets all puffed up and starts pointing out the particulars of Clark's career, I'm telling you those things won't matter. When he's talking about defense, he'll put on his General cap and people will see those stars and that will be substance enough for them. His managers will spin his military career as if he were the reincarnation of Sun Tzu. Count on it.

With Hillary on the ticket, he would get a huge emotional boost.

We would do well not to ignore this danger.

[bushfamfan]

People should remember she is the liberals icon and the conservative vote is divided between Laura Bush, Condi, Barbara Bush, Margaret Thatcher, etc.

[Pagey]

Hillary Rotten is"....seen in a favorable light by the American public".

Ohhh, more mindless blathering about how positive Hillary is viewed by Americans, thrust down our throats by a complicit media. How entirely shameless for sycophantic Newsday to poll 1,000 people, and put her in the same breath as GWB. She has accomplished nothing in her life,(An 'advocate for children' my _ss--- anyone who raises kids is an 'advocate for children' for gods sake) lived off the public trough for 25 years, and been behind every decision Billy Jeff ever made against this country for 8 years. She has been given in the immortal words of P.J. O'Rourke: "Power W/out any Merit". Now ask yourself, how is it that someone who has accomplished nothing, can be allowed to sit on the Armed Forces Committee? How is it that someone so smart had to use the phrase "You Know" 19 times in her speech last week at the Council On Foreign Relations when answering questions from the audience after her written speech was complete,huh? ( Yes,I counted!)
