If her name ends up on the ballot then the deciding factor for most Americans will be (in no particular order): (a) is she from my party; (b) do I want a female president; (c) did I like her shoes when she was on Oprah.
I'm not to sure about that. After hanging out at RATS underground (the dark side) I've seen enough chit-chat about Hillary's support for the Iraq war. That, according to the nutjobs, places her in the middle. They can't stand it. Oh, and throw on the fact that the impeached *Squirt hangs around George Bush the father. That puts them over the edge.
I've read complaints that the RATS aren't opposition enough. Gridlock is the goal and anything short of that makes RATS run quickly towards the 'greenies'.
They want red meat and they want it now. Only an extremist like Barbara Boxer or Algore will do. I don't think Hillary is a real favorite of the left...
You should say left wing, liberal democrats. My brother is an old time Mill Wright, Union, Democrat, and I know he wouldn't vote for her. He didn't vote for Gore or Kerry either.
