I do not think she has a prayer of carrying anything other than the really hard-core liberal states ... and I think except for D.C., those are in play as well ... simply because she scares and polarizes people. Bill Clinton won because people liked him. G.W. Bush won because people liked him. Ronald Reagan won because people liked him. Bush pere won not so much because people liked him, but because his opponent was patently unlikeable. I know we'd like to all sit on our high horses and say that people win because of their policies/philosophies/etc., but in presidential elections, it usually comes down to likeability. I've given the example of my father here before, who was philosophically an old-line Labor Democrat and advocated positions that were polar opposite to the GOP, but voted Republican because he liked the candidates, particularly Reagan and Bush pere, better. My point, finally, is this ... who outside the nut left actually likes Hillary Clinton? Nobody (not even Bill). She doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the middle of the country that decides elections. Again, she'll scare 'em to death.

I shouldn't need to answer that question, and you shouldn't have asked it. I'll tell you the answer even though you won't hear it.
Need I remind you George Bush didn't do very well running against a complete idiot in the last election? The same people who voted for the Clintons and Owlgore previously will vote for Hillary. Additionally, if one woman in 50 votes for Hillary because she is a woman, and Hillary will make it the issue, the result will be slaughter. Right now, the Republicans have nobody with charisma to run. ...and so forth. I realize say that or anything else won't make a dent, but it's the truth. Hillary runs very shrewd campaigns.
