Love-hate polls a hurdle if Sen. Clinton runs in ’08

I don't think the Left's love is that great for Hillary. As for the other emotion, hate is not the right one. Repugnance, disgust, and a proper sense of being betrayed by Hillary and the Big Lug - that is how many of us feel.

I will go door to door to help her be defeated, but the Democrats know already that many feel the same way.

"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is everything you would want in a president: brilliant attorney,"


I have never seen any evidence that she is a brilliant anything. She has been able to get elected but her biggest project (health care reform) went down in flames, largely because of her own actions. That strikes me as hardly "brilliant".

"Though Clinton’s backers concede that she faces formidable obstacles in trying to stitch together a coalition of more than 50 percent of the voters"

She won't need 50 percent. Bubba got elected with just 43%, and that 43% will vote for her no matter what she does or what happens during the campaign.

Lieberman is looking like Ross Perot for 2008. He will probably siphon off lots of middle of the road voters.

Apparently she is a "brilliant" commodities speculator...

Kerry ... walked to the front of the ballroom and said, "I don’t know what to say." Without hesitation, a smiling Clinton responded, "How about, ‘Hello?’ " The crowd loved it.

Wow! I'd have never thought of that. He forgot to mention the crowd is sycophants, hangers-on and the like. She could pass a bisquit and they'd think it was art.

The "common good" mob can support her plans for big government confiscation and control BUT could anyone 'love' HER?

NEVER FORGET



The CLINTONS' refusing 3 free offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to give us our No. 1 terrorist enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a silver platter...

...before he could hit us hard real hard here at home after they had left our White House =


The Attacks of September 11, 2001.


The man who predicted those Airstrikes on the World Trade Center immediately following the Bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, a Bombing that he had also predicted years in advance =

Ah Yes, brilliant attorney who has never seen the inside of a courtroom or tried a case. There is absolutely no evidence that she was any good as a lawyer, but as a lier yes she is magnificent. Amen.

"Lieberman is looking like Ross Perot for 2008. He will probably siphon off lots of middle of the road voters."

That's my theory, whether it be Lieberman or someone else. If there's a third party, she has a very good chance of winning. If not, she's toast.

Wish I had more faith in my fellow conservatives to see things for what they really are when it counts, but I don't. *SHRUG*

hillary is a typical attorney- above average intelligence but always hedging the downside, which prevents focus and clarity-- essential traits of effective leadership. sometimes you have to set an unpleasant course and see it through, and that is never more important than in difficult times.

the fact that she cannot or will not walk away from a serial philanderer precludes her from serious consideration as a presidential contender. if the woman cannot maintain her own self respect, why should 300 million people put the respect of a nation under her stewardship.

[Northern Yankee]

My thoughts exactly.

Whenever she's given tough questions she seems to use the mantra... " I don't recall."

The paradoy on Rush's show nails it... (Sung to the tune - Try to Remember ) "I can't remember, my heads in a blender, it's Jello."

[Northern Yankee]

With Guilliani announcing his candidacy for President, not my choice, he'd mop up the floor with her.

I continue to maintain clinton won't make it out of the primaries.

Love-hate polls a hurdle if Sen. Clinton runs in ’08

This is precisely why I've said she has no chance of winning, unless the Republicans serve up a nominee with a similar love-hate problem.

That would be Newt Gingrich.

If Newt gets the nomination, Dems will be dancing in the streets.

I continue to maintain clinton won't make it out of the primaries.

Agreed,

If not the campaign of '08 will look like Revolutionary War II, provided the Republicans have a decent candidate.

Hillary? The only first lady to appear before a grand jury.
The only first lady to demand a larger office than the Vice President. The only first lady that hired an overwieght bouncer to work in the whitehouse and then deny it. The only first lady that had 1200 FBI files brought to the west wing so she and her staff could go through them for political ammunition. Trusting Hillary is not smart. The first lady that used vulgar language on her secret service protectors. Good luck to anyone voting to put her in charge. God Almighty what a mess we would have.

Hillary Rodham Clinton: The slime that snakes slitter over;

William Jefferson Clinton: The snake that slitters over the slime.

You know, alot of people keep saying mccaine, hillary 08.

And I just realized, it's not mccaine Vs. hillary..It's hillary/mccaine in 08.

[Maceman]

To her admirers — and there are many — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is everything you would want in a president: brilliant attorney, skilled politician, able lawmaker and devoted mother.

Gee, I would have thought that one of the key qualifications for a President would be some type of executive experience.

But what do I know?
