Is this really the issue that the 52 or so million people voted for Gore and Kerry? She has the same appeal that the other two have. IF they can get those people to vote for them then she can.

Your point is valid, to a degree. However, a large part of the Kerry presidential election vote was anti-Bush, not pro-Kerry. Kerry won the primary in large part because delegates thought they had someone with the skills to beat Bush. If delegates believe that of Hillary in '08 of course she will get the nomination, but I think it will become clear that she cannot, because of the characteristics I mentioned.

Gore was a much more likable person - kind of a buffoon, in fact, than Hillary and notwithstanding that did not come off as incompetent as her before he went off the deep end a couple of years ago.

Very good points....

I do not believe that the delegates will view her as incompetent as we do. They just might however. The real key would be how much the MSM can push them around.

How many points do you think having them on her side is worth. I put it at 10 or so. They will come after our candidate no matter who he is. Just as unfairly as they have come after Bush.
