I heard from someone who would know that a lot of the liberal women can't stand Hillary. She's not the nomination lock we or she might think she is.

"feminist majority" loves her.

The test of her real popularity will be if NY can be suckered into voting for her. Of course it depends on her competition. If the put another wimp or beta male against her then she will waltz right into a second term.

Women of all ideological stripes deeply dislike the woman.

I've heard a lot of voiced fear that women will turn out in droves to have a woman President. I'm not convinced. I know my sex. Yes, for some a woman President would be a draw. For that woman to be Hillary...

I wouldn't count on that "sister" loyalty being a lock.

The guy is right about her. A Dem candidate has yet to crack the 50% mark since Carter's first election. Hillary is polarizing. You can state Bush was polarizing, but Republicans have cracked 50% with 43, 41, Reagan and Nixon. Last time Dems cracked 50% was Carter's one term. We can afford to have a polarizing figure so long as everyone turns out. Dems turn out their base they have 48%-49% max. The only way Hill wins is by splitting the Republican base in two. I'm sure that is her intention but it's chancy. Dems would have a better chance taking a figure people don't dislike from the start to run.
