it's not JUST the far right who hate her--so do the lukewarm right--over 40 % STRONGLY disapprove of her--that's incredibly high for any candidate to overcome.

And the smear machine and rightwing machine haven't even started in yet. By the time thye're done, all those depressed Republicans and conservative independents who would probably sit on their hands rather than vote for a Mormon or social 'liberal' like Rudy will be raging to get out to the polls.

Your candidate takes what should be a walk in the park election and makes a real fight with her being the odds on favorite to LOSE.

You don't think I should perhaps mention that on a political blog? You think it's a Republican talking point? Fuck off, jjc2006--it's a fucking Hillary campaign talking point to paint it as such.

That's exactly why it's on my sig line and going to stay there. BTW, you guys also need to know that it's your candidate's pro-centrist positions (ala the DLC boneheads like Al From and Bob Shrum) that have been the nation thinking the Democratics are a bunch of spineless cowards.

Why do you think our congressional numbers are in the tiolet? Because we're not standing up to Bush on economics and appointments, we're enabling on Iran, and we're not  getting out of Iraq.

And Hillary is really helping that by voting for Kyl Lieberman, isn't she? Or by conveniently missing the Mukasey torture confirmation, or by being a coward and refusing to apologize for her ignorant and arrogant Iraqi War Authorization vote, right?

Lose my sig? Not bloody fucking likely--because I happen to care about this country more than some punk ass candidate who seems utterly incapable of simply delivering a straight answer.

Much less be a fucking leader.
