I think Steyn is wrong. Hillary is not electable.

They said that about sKerry. Heck, I said that about sKerry! He failed, but look how close he came. Mr. "I mean everything to no one, and nothing to everybody" managed to close ranks with the factions in his party and, along with massive contributions from Soros and the MSM, almost pulled off what would be the greatest scam in American politics.

During the "10 little idiots" phase of the demo primaries, I said that if sHrillary truly had any ambitions to run, she would have to run now, while she had any political capitol to spend. 2008 was too far off and one cannot save political capitol or good will. She didn't, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

She is electable. I'm counting on conservatives joining ranks to make certain she isn't elected

Most people didn't hate Kerry. Realistically, most people probably hadn't heard of Kerry before he ran. We tend to vastly overestimate the political interest and knowledge of the majority of voters in this country.

Kerry did become a little bit of a source of ridicule, but to the average voter, there was no hatred or fear of Kerry. Maybe just the sense that he wasn't up to the job.

The hatred of Hillary isn't just confined to the far right. She creeps out men and women of all political stripes. If she can pull it off despite that, she'll have come from a far weaker position than Kerry ever had.
