The ONLY reason Hillary has a shot at the W.H. is because of her husband's last name. This woman would be lucky to be elected into the House if not the fact she has clung to Bill's coattails.
She doesn't have a face men love. Strike One.
She's a shrew. This is not an endearing quality to the majority of women on Left and right. Strike Two.
She is a poor speaker, without a trace of warmth. Political instincts are sketchy at best, though with better advisors than Kerry. She is a known coward that cannot take a position on anything without focus polling. 24/7 coverage of this woman will not be favorable to her.
Does this mean if the DEM candidate she wouldn't have a chance? Of course not. Any Dem has a 50/50 chance at the W.H. once nominated. yet it isn't the candidate they select I concentrate on. It's their base. It's their base that votes, it is their base that puts out ads at moveon.org, and it is their base that pulls together fraud and slashes the tires of Republican get out the vote transportation.
'08, imo, will not be a battle between Dem candidate and Rep candidate. The candidates chosen can help or hinder a campaign but it won't really be about them. This is going to be an all out warfare between us the loons that sent Boxer roses. Between Talk radio/net/cable and the MSM. The candidtes are almost an afterthought.
