somebody put his hair on too tight this morning...

[Zenith]

Hillary is nothing more than a FAT PANT LOAD !!

[D-fendr]

Let's see:

Hillary Clinton is to Ronald Reagan as...

[Agent Smith]

This guy is burning kilos of hashish in his sauna.

[Cincinatus]

She's too divisive. Too calculating. Too marred by the Clinton years. Oh, - and she's a woman.

How about "she's too liberal"?

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Luntz polled for Rudy Giuliani in 1993, 1997 and 2000.

No wonder he is so full of it...

[martin_fierro]

He is the author of "Words that Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear."

There's some words for ya.

[Teacher317]

The problem with this comparison is that all of the negative comments thrown at RR were the liberal media's attempt to thwart him. They had little basis in truth. Hillary's negatives, on the toher hand, have been greatly downplayed by that same liberal media.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

They left out, she? is a far left wing whiner from NE.

[jmaroneps37]

To frank luntz I have one word: DRUGS?

[SueRae]

One word for this author....delusional.

[RichInOC]

For all those Republicans and a few Democrats who think Hillary Clinton can't possibly be elected President, I have two words for you: Ronald Reagan. I remember it well. He was too old. He was too conservative. He was too scary. And he was elected in two landslides. The exact same kinds of assumptions about electability 25 years ago are alive and well in 2006, and they are just as wrong for Hillary Clinton today as they were for Reagan in 1979.

Of course, the problem with Luntz's thesis is that...how to put this?...Hillary Clinton is no Ronald Reagan.

[Rummyfan]

He was too old. He was too conservative. He was too scary.

Those were media positions. RR was immensely popular with the people however. Hillary's in the opposite position: the MSM loves her but the people hate her. Call me when the MSM gets the majority of the Electoral College.

[SR 50]

If the election can be bought, then Hillary can be elected.

Hillary will NEVER be right for America.

[demkicker]

However stupid some of Frank's tips are for Hillary to become Prez, I don't appreciate him trying to help her. Seriously...

[AmericaUnited]

Luntz is just such a flaming idiot to come up with this drivel.

[DustyMoment]

Why? Because her intelligence, assertiveness, personality and celebrity are powerful strengths. I know this for a fact. My firm has conducted extensive focus-group research in Iowa and New Hampshire.

No disrespect intended to either Iowa or New Hampshire but . . . . . . Bwahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . . . . . (gasp, gasp) . . . . . . bwahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . . . . . .

[American_Centurion]

Because her intelligence, assertiveness, personality and celebrity are powerful strengths.

Stopped reading right there. Intelligence? Ya know, she's dumb as a rock, ya know.

[Timeout]

Hillary Clinton sits atop many polls for President with good reason...

His entire analysis is based on a false premise.

I've seen plenty of polls showing her leading among Dem primary voters. I've seen no such consistency in a line-up against likely Republican candidates in a general election.

[ReaganRevolution]

personality and celebrity are powerful strengths.

What personality is he talking about?

[Obadiah]

More worthless political grist. Luntz must need some advertising for his firm, hence the article.

Hillary flat out does not have anything approaching Ronald Reagan's charisma.

The American public has an 8 year history of Hillary. Unlike Ronald Reagan, they know Hillary, and by and large, they do not like her. Because of her past White House dominion, changing people's opinion of her will be much more difficult.

The fear of Ronald Reagan as an extremist was a fabricated construct of the DNC and aggressively transmitted by the MSM. Ronald Reagan, through his honest charm, was able to pierce this construct. Just the opposite is the case with Hillary. The MSM are and will try to cover her tracks. I do not believe the American people will so easily forget Hillary's public record.

Hillary was able to get elected in a deep blue state with questionable competition from the Republican Party.

Hillary was able to get elected largely being shielded from having to interact in press conference type of situations. She has doggedly avoided "on-your-feet" type of public or media encounters. She has relied on tightly scripted events, and for good reason.

Hillary is far, far from being a shoe-in.
