She can't win a general election.


Why? I find the country pretty split along party lines. We had two close elections with regards to electoral votes. One state go her way would do it. I obviously hope that does not happen but I just don't underestimate the Clintons. If we put up a good candidate, Hillary as the democrat and McCain or someone else running, she could win. Shutter the thought. lol.

Agreed. The three currently prominent GOP candidates for the Presidency, Romney, McCain, and Giuliani, will alienate limited government conservatives and social conservatives, including the Christian Right. There will either be a third party or lukewarm support in much of the Republican base, factors that doomed the elder Bush in 1992 and are a formidable obstacles to the three RINOs who are most evidently seeking the Republican presidential nomination.

For those who scoff, a recent poll of voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania, both somewhat "purple" states, reveals that at least one-third of the voters want Roe v. Wade repealed. Guiliani is pro-abortion; McCain's record is inconsistent; Romney conveniently changed his pro-abortion record when entering national politics from leftist Massachusetts. It is hard to imagine these voters being enthusiastic about the three RINOs. A high turnout among these voters is desperately needed if the GOP wants to win these states, or, more significantly, wants to hold states like Ohio and Florida that the younger Bush narrowly won in 2000 and 2004.

Many people found her husband likable.

Nobody finds Hillary likable.

Not to mention the fact that (right or wrong) this country isn't ready to elect ANY woman president.
