Hillary Clinton Shedding Polarizing Image

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Recent polls show the public's image of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., gradually morphing from sharply controversial First Lady to centrist, constituent-minded senator. Although still a polarizing figure, the first-term legislator could use the makeover to position herself for a White House run in 2008. Political strategists say Clinton has impressed Senate colleagues and constituents by working on New York issues while taking moderate or conservative stances on controversies such as the war in Iraq. "A majority feel positive toward her," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. "She's being seen as being more effective and sticking to her job. She's managed to shape her role in a way that's more acceptable. She's in a transition."

---a 70K vote swing in ohio, and he would have. let's not overestimate the 2004 win.---

well, if you can get a nomination from a major party, your chances are, realistically, 50-50.

but there's no telling how much crack kerry campaign workers sold for votes -- we caught them with 150 or so phony dem registrations that were paid for with crack; heavens knows it was "shenanigans central" as far as stuffing the ballot box goes.

but, yeah, I get what you're saying. I was making a joke. apparently not a very good one.

True. Just ask Arafat's bodyguards.

Like a rattlesnake or cobra shedding his skin - they still bite. They are still a snake.

Can you believe it? She is not only evangelical, but she is a Christian, conservative, evangelical. Can you believe the level of hubris. She really believes the voters and especially Dems are that stupid, that she would actually say this in front of a camera.

Gosh, do I have to consume another polling grain of salt?

[EGPWS]

Yep. Shes running.

Always has been, from the mouth and from Der Schlickmiester.

[OldFriend]

In recent months she has tried to modulate her voice so it's not so grating.

All tht was undone when she spoke at the opening of the massage parlor.

She just can't help herself, she's a shrew.

I think Rudy is gonna be the pick also.......and it will be a good one.....

I may not agree with some of Rudy's views, but I don't agree with all of Bush's views either.

I don't agree with ANY of Hillary's views....and cannot stand the thought of "those people" returning to the White House.

[joesnuffy]

She can't do a thing without the MSM enabling her lies.......and propping her up....

[dk/coro]

I concur. Absolutely NO way can she break out of her high negatives enough to make it through the last primaries.

And, the Pub machine has enough cannon fodder on her to make the Swifties' exercise on Kerry look like amateur hour.

Well, the article said this: "A national survey of registered voters by the Marist Institute conducted after Election Day showed 54 percent of respondents view Clinton favorably, with 43 percent viewing her unfavorably."

Maybe Marist mostly polled people in those blue counties across the country? I also find it very hard to believe that 54% of registered voters in this country view Her Heinous favorably.

This is just anecdotal, but I've noticed over the past 4-5 years that every other woman I meet locally here in (Blue State) CT "admires Hillary". Yet these women can't seem to articulate just WHY they "admire" her, nor name any of her accomplishments over the years... ;-)

Aw c'mon, what greater accomplishment than being a liberal. That's all Hillary needs in the blue states. ;-)

This odious rodent will go to no end to get back in the White House....she's possibly more vulgar than that pantload hubby of hers - Jethro The First.

Don't insult Jethro Bodine that way. Jethro was stupid. He wasn't a sociopath.
