WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential presidential contender in 2008, "seems to have a lot of anger" and voters usually do not send angry candidates to the White House, the Republican Party chairman said Sunday.
"When you think of the level of anger, I'm not sure it's what Americans want," said Ken Mehlman, head of the Republican National Committee.
Mehlman cited the New York senator's remarks on Martin Luther King Day in which she called the Bush administration "one of the worst" in history and compared the Republican-controlled House to a plantation where opposing voices are silenced.
"I don't think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates. And whether it's the comments about the plantation or the worst administration in history, Hillary Clinton seems to have a lot of anger," Mehlman told ABC's "This Week."
As far as the Republican strategy for 2008, Mehlman said: "We're going to focus on who our candidate's going to be who's going to win."
Over-the-Hilary better put some Ice on that one!
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
I believe the correct term is cankle, when referring to Hitlery.
I think you guys are right. Hillary hasn't given a press conference in eons because she's a total disaster in any situation that isn't carefully choreographed to the nth degree. She can't think on her feet, all she can do is stammer talking points that she can barely remember.
you mean cankles?
Man those do my stomach wrong.
The focus group results are in.
Middle America has spoken and are saying that Hillery's anger makes her unelectable.
Smart talking point.
And Hillery will become even more unbalanced as she tries to convice the American people that "I'm not angry!"
This is going to be fun. Especially when the TV spots showcasing her unbalanced anger hit the airwaves.
"Hillary is too angry to be President."
I like it.
...and who refuses to be seen in the same area code with her.
I pretty much agree with you. I will note, however, how close Gore and Kerry came to winning. Closer than either candidate deserved, given what lousy human being and candidates they were.
Hillary isn't playing it smart right now, but she isn't dumb, and we're giving her free advice with columns like the one we're posting on :-)
"A party of angry white females..."
Look back at the states that Kerry won and decide which ones would flip.
Than look at the states that President Bush won and consider what a potential shift in the womens vote and/or a stronger turn out in the minority vote would do.
I hope you are right.
The RATs are scared to death that their rigged primary system will result in her candidacy.
Thank you, Sam!
That is perfect ammo for a few ditzy liberal females I know that WILL vote for her, just because she's a female and they want to see a female President in their lifetime; the fate of America be d@mned.
Note that Associated Press didn't run a byline identifying the author of this story. What are they afraid of?
Her home state is Illinois, not Michigan, and that place is so Soviet she could have won. She just didn't want to wait for the seat that Obama got to come available.
That's a famous pic of Hillary. And justly so! Any idea when it was taken and the circumstances that caused her to make such a face?
She should stay away from mirrors...
Hillary Clinton is the cancer within the Democrat Party. It will continue to spread to others....
That turkey neck flap is coming along nicely. You go girl.
