That is just wishful thinking. She will carry ever state Kerry won. She had a very good chance of winning Ohio and a couple of others Bush won.. like Iowa. She might win West Virginia.
You are thinking voters react to Hillary the way you do. We know a majority of voters do not react to Bill or Hillary the way you do.
By 2008 the electorate will want nothing changed. That is, they will want grid lock. We will be 5 years into the good times and the public will want absolutely nothing done. Hillary will campaign at being better at doing nothing than anyone.
Styne has it right. The electorate will vote for grid lock. They will have a very strong Republican House and Senate and put Hillary in the White House. They won't be able to think of a better grid lock than that.
No we don't. First of all, the votes were cast for Bill, not Hillary. They might have been cast more for Al Gore than her.
Predicting the 2008 election based on 1996 results is just dumb.
Perhaps the electorate will be ready for a party change in the presidency in 2008, but it's hardly a given, nor is it a historical pattern.
