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."

>>Anyone that hears her nails-on-chalkboard screech will cover their ears and run

Anti-Hillary ads should feature that "I AM SICK AND TIRED" speech she gave (you've heard it on Hannity). SHRILL-ary.

Hillary is going to invite a Republican to run with her. You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

And yes, that picture is the one of Hill kissing Suha Arafat ( "wife" of The Littlest Terrorist ) after Suha had accused the Israelis of poisoning Palestinian children...

The old media will do everything in its power to help Mrs. Clinton "morph" into an "acceptable moderate". Clearly, the exercise has already begun. Expect to see hundreds of news stories just like this one over the next four years.

Is that an actual quote??

The woman is an animal.

[Jimmy Valentine]

"She tossed out her Mao suit and Politburo stationary"

No, just put them at the back of the closet for now. If she becomes president, we will all be forced to go for the "Mao" look.

ROTF!! Taken by the same people doing the exit polling on Election Day no doubt. LOLOL.

I predicted she would do that. I think that is why she voted FOR the Iraq war and then the DNC ran far left sKerry. All of this was part of a grand scheme to make Hillary the Hairy Hildabeast look like a centrist/moderate.
I am not fooled. But demoncraps are EASILY duped.

[buffyt]

THAT will be a good one to replay in 08 when she runs.

I think I will put a RUN HILLARY RUN bumper sticker on my front bumper. Is that a hate crime?

[Huck]

We just HAVE to get Condi to run!

You must really WANT a Shrillary presidency.

[Huck]

In theory, this is GREAT news. I sincerely hope that the democrat candidate moves as far from the left as possible. Maybe they'll move so far to the right, that the GOP will feel some pressure to end their profligate spending.

[prairiebreeze]

She can't hide who she is. Neither could John sKerry.

[bmwcyle]

I would like many question about her husband cheating asked.

[JesseHousman]

She's still the most repulsive female in history and ranks right up there with Ilsa Koch ("Bitch of Buchenwald") and Lucretia Borgia.

Thanks to the voters of Arkancide, America, and New Yarkansas for enabling this beast by electing and re-electing that piece of trailer trash from Hope and then, unfortunately, her as a senator.

Look for a "Conservative" a/l/a Ross Periot to emerge.

My guess is John Mc Cain.

[Twinkie]

Those two are peas in a pod; two for the price of one and
the price is way too high. I suppose she would ditch him
if it would grease her way to the White House, Heaven
forbid.

[bert]

Ha, ha, ha...... what a load of BS

They really don't get it.

[Lurking2Long]

No, we just have to get a true conservative MAN to run!

CONDI IS A RINO ON ABORTION!

[Starboard]

She's in a transition.

That's the problem with the Clintons--they're always in "transition". These are souless people with no convictions or roots.

[Elephino]

How does she say that with a straight face? She's about as Southern as General Sherman.
