You can't make a person likable. They either or likable or they aren't. People tell me that I put them at ease. I don't do that on purpose, I wouldn't know how to begin to do that. Hillary is NOT likable and that comes out. All the handlers in the world aren't going to change her.

There was one brief moment during the campaign where I almost found Hillary likeable - it was during the interview with Bill O'Reilly, of all things. She looked like she was really enjoying herself, she had obviously done her homework, and I almost - almost developed a grudging admiration for her. That feeling didn't last very long ;-)

There is only one time I feel sorry for Hillary, and that’s when people make fun of her butt. That isn’t the reason I don’t like her. BTW, I never noticed anybody making fun of Bill Richardson’s butt. He looks pretty hefty. IMO, people say this stuff because she’s a woman...

Need to keep in mind McCain liked by few too.
