Obviously biased, but interesting reading to see how her backers are using the NY Times to spin her for the nomination.

The author of this article doesn't even allow for the possibility that she could run for the Senate in 2006 and be beaten by Rudy Guiliani.

It would take more than a years long nationwide version of the "listening tour." She would be best off staying in the Senate and giving herself a right-wing makeover. I would absolutely love to see her play the pious, family-values, security-hawk for the next four years. It would be HILarious to see just how many of her sacred cows she would tip over the side in her quest for the Brass Ring. Hmmm, SHE might be the one to harpoon Micheal Moore and lead the Dems back towards the (seeming) center.

This article is garbage from a journalistic perspective, and just talking points from her campaign.

The author states the case against Hillary in the first half, and then tries to systematically disprove it point-by-point in the second half, culminating in the final quote about her improving poll numbers.

The interesting point, though, is the quote from her about being "polarizing", when she says "We have a president who is quite polarizing - and very successful, I might add." That is her angle for 2008, to counter the questions about her "electability."

Gee, I can't imagine anyone disliking a paranoid anti-american who lies with every breath she takes.

Also, I am sure anyone from her side reading this will, of course, twist the facts to make her look better.

The November 2004 election was the Bloody Angle of the Democrat Media. Hillary can't get any more than 45%, because no one pays any attention to the boobs on the toob any longer...

1 in 3 NY voters disapprove??

What the hell kind of spin is that?

That equals a 67% approval rating!

What does this even mean?

Her husband won with 43% in 1992.

I doubt that she has a 67% approval rating.

I think they are trying to nicely say this: when we conduct opinion polls, 33% of NY voters think Hillary should burn in hell, and would rather be represented by a live donkey in the Senate.

'Her HindA$$ Wide-Load' is dreaming of going all over the world and vacationing on our dime again - like she did when slick was in charge.

We need to do everything in our power to keep them OUT of our Whitehouse.

Haha.. :)

I don't doubt that you are right.
I just don't know how they pushed the poll.

>> "Her husband won with 43% in 1992." <<

Yes, but that was a three way race. With three active candidates, the vote is going to be more split.

Of course, they could pull the same deal, and pull in someone to be a 3rd party candidate. What is Buchanan doing in '08??

Don't worry about this (insert explicative here). The 2004 election did not go well enough for her. She needed Bush to win, and not by too much. She did get that thanks to her husband sending his cronies to sabatoge Kerry's campaign.

But her real problem was Congress. She needed the Dems to take the Senate and pick up strength in the House. She got neither. Overall, this election was such a blow-out that the Dems, this time, will wake up and recruit a legitmate non-liberal - after all, they despertly NEED to win.

The Dems will also realize that web sites like this will not permit the media to whitewash her past and transform her into a "moderate". She's toast - but hasn't figured it out yet.

What we Americans (you know, the red half that doesn't HATE this country, like the Dems) need to do is start watching for potential candidates, and then dig up dirt. Being Democrats, at a minimum, they've all got criminal records. Let's get some files opened up.

Hurrah!! This is the best news I have had all day. I may be able to go to bed tonight with that warm, comfy feeling!

My God how I despise that woman!

To think of her in a position of real power in our nation sends chills up my spine. Night all.

I actually heard her say the she "has always worshipped evangelically". I wonder what on earth she meant by that! I heard this on one of the talk radio programs shortly after the election.
