Bill Clinton never received 50% of the popular vote. That said, Hillary is definitely the Dems favorite choice for President. She would be a stronger candidate than Kerry because she does energize the Dem base--and the Rep base.

Hillary will be a formidable foe in 2008. The GOP will not have the advantage of incumbency and there is, at this point, no annointed successor to GWB. Hillary will spend the next four years raising money, building her base, and adding to her resume. Hopefully, her strong negatives and those of her husband will make the difference, but right now, she has the advantage going into 2008, sorry to say.

Hopefully, her strong negatives and those of her husband will make the difference,............

Since the electorate has short memory, their negatives will be past history come 2008 (out of sight, out of mind)

Their own merits notwithstanding - I believe the following potential 2008 candidates would have a good shot against Her Heinous:

Bill Owens
Rudy Giuliani
Jeb Bush
Condi Rice
