I was quite amazed frankly. Hillary just might overcome her handicaps enough to get the gold. She needs someone against her, with whom centrist voters are comfortable. Hillary hatred is not going to sink her against an asterisk, or someone circumscribed by "the base." It just isn't going to happen in 2008. Just my little "RINO" opinion.
Hatred blinds people to the truth. I can remember post after post after post here, on how Hillary looked terrible, when actually she looks great and very fashionable. Okay, she usually dress badly and looks awful, but there have been a few tines, that yellow outfit she wore with the lovely pearl torsaud, from Tiffany, after here husband's wagging finger "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN......" speech.
OTOH, I have also seen post after post and thread after thread about how marvelous Laura looks and how fantastic her clothes are, when the complete opposite was the hard truth.
Hillary has been coached within an inch of her life and it WILL continue! Will she blow it all, and will the gaffs and screams become public knowledge? I don't know; perhaps.
Can any completely unknown nobody, who has NEVER had to fight down and dirty in the gutter, in the trenches, who has no financial and NO political backing now and whose has NO chance of EVER getting it beat her, because he appears to be a true blue Conservative? NEVER !
