Well I for one would LOVE to see a Hillary / Bush matchup...
I think Bush would win by a larger margin than he would have had Dean not flammed out to soon.

Some on these boards try to paint Hillary as the "ultimate" democrat candidate, some secret weapon that could beat Bush.
I've never understood it personally...

-- Hillary managed to win a senate seat in New York, but even in liberal new york she isn't that popular. She is projected to lose if Guilliani or Pataki run against her in 2006.

-- Even her supporters admit she is not very photogenic and comes across as abrasive and condescending. The only reason she got to where she is was by riding Bills coatails. She simply doesn't have any of his charm. While Bill got away with just about anything because of his "slick willy" ability. Hillary was never as fortunate and consistently had negative ratings while Bill was in the White House.

-- Unlike with potential democrat candidates such as Clark or Edwards, Hillary could write off all the southern states before the campaign even began, her negatives are stratospheric in that region.
That means the only way she could win would be to take ALL of the heavily union mid-west swing states. While the unions would support her, the rank and file tend to be much more conservative and would vote for Bush in droves.

-- Talk about broken glass republicans! Everybody with even a slightly conservative bone in their body will be lined up at the polls 3 hours before they open just for a chance to vote against Hillary. Hillary will bring out the conservative vote in numbers that haven't been seen since Reagan's day's.

I have to agree with your points. I would go even further to note that the broken-glass-Republicans would also bring others to vote too. I have never been real active in political elections other than to vote, but I for one would be seriously motivated to man the phones, knock on doors, and do whatever it takes to send this B*tch down and hard. Hitlery belongs in prison not in Congress...

Come to think of it, that may be true of several other Congress-critters.
