Hillary Clinton Shedding Polarizing Image

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Recent polls show the public's image of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., gradually morphing from sharply controversial First Lady to centrist, constituent-minded senator. Although still a polarizing figure, the first-term legislator could use the makeover to position herself for a White House run in 2008. Political strategists say Clinton has impressed Senate colleagues and constituents by working on New York issues while taking moderate or conservative stances on controversies such as the war in Iraq. "A majority feel positive toward her," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. "She's being seen as being more effective and sticking to her job. She's managed to shape her role in a way that's more acceptable. She's in a transition."

Actually you can polish a turd. It will still be a turd when you're done but you can polish it.

[Angry Republican]

Any doubt has been tossed out the window.

Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House will serve as the best Republican GOTV strategy.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Shouldn't we start a topic just for "Hillary's a Moderate Running For President". That's actually a good name for the topic.

Do you know anyone that can make this happen?LOL

[Deetes]

I think i'm going to PUKE!!!

She will try we just have to swat her down.

And hope they don't try to split the Republican ticket .

"I can think of nothing more entertaining than watching the critics rip her record apart."

Uh...which critics would you be refering to?

Not a single one of the MSM critics will touch a keystroke to condemn this commie sleeper.

If you imagine that the 'damn tough press' will rip her to shreds, well, then you get my vote as the most naive poster in the last five years.

There will be NO critical reporting from the MSM for her run.

Everything, as usual, rests upon the NM...

I hope to G-d we will be up to the challenge.

That Marxist slut faking moderate positions I can understand. Vermin like that will do anything to get and keep power of any kind. What is appalling is that there apparently are people who are being fooled by it.

[market liberal]

Yes, but unfortunately none of this critics reside in the mainstream media, which will be more than happy to brush all of the dirt under the rug.

[Aarchaeus]

She tossed out her Mao suit and Politburo stationary.

I don't think so. I bet she just put them into storage for later use.

[ladyinred]

She's managed to shape her role in a way that's more acceptable. She's in a transition."

No she is in deceit mode. How can people fall for this? Is this institute who is doing the study on public opinion also helping her shape public opinion of her? She is NOT a centrist, she is a flaming Marxist.
