There are dopey swing voters (mostly female) out there who will factor sympathy into whom they vote for. If Hillary runs for Pres or VP in 2004, there will be women who don't vote for her the first time around who will figure, "Oh, well, she tries so hard and she's been through so much and she lost last time and Chelsea's getting married and she'll feel lonely..." Who do you think watches all those Lifetime TV movies? Sure, some Lifetime viewers always vote for Democrats, but some swing, and many would swing for Hillary if she ran again after losing the first time.

You know, I think you're right.

Just reaffirms my opinion of the eternal wisdom of the founding fathers restricting franchise to "freeholders" (land and business owners).

It would be impossible for even the most die-hard Suffragette to deny your characterization of dopey (mostly female) swing voters.

In my mind, I have a clear image of the kind of person you describe, and it just curdles my blood to know their vote will cancel mine.
