CORALVILLE, Iowa It was a blunt question for Hillary Rodham Clinton at the end of a long campaign day. A young man said he knew a lot of people who just didn't like her, and he wanted to know what she could do about it.
She agreed there are people who will never vote for her. "It breaks my heart, but that is true," she said, suggesting it's just part of the game when you stick to your principles. But with two weeks to go to the Iowa caucuses, her campaign is making a bigger effort to confront the nagging matter of her likability and electability.
In recent days, Clinton has begun showing off a softer side - inviting friends, New York constituents and family members to Iowa to speak for her and attest to her warmth, compassion and hearty laugh.

People don’t like her and/or can’t connect with her because they know that when she speaks she’s either lying to them or being deceitful. She makes John Kerry like downright warm.
To: Mogollon
Principles??!! Sure she has principles...when in doubt, always promote the greatest evil.

She reminds me of my ex wife. Only Hitlary is worse. That cackling and screeching voice of hers drives me right up the wall.

“...and hearty laugh.”
Hearty laugh??? Is that the new way the media plans on describing her laugh? Cackle is appropriate.
To: NCDragon
She would always rather be feared than liked, but those pesky elections interfere with that.
I’m one who will never like her. My husband, God rest his soul, went to high school with her, and said once that she was the same back then as now.

"It's just part of the game when you stick to your principles."Well, of course, it depends on what your principles are.

Not allowing military personnel in uniform to make eye contact with you in the whitehouse, will cause some to dislike ya.
