Hillary Clinton's Popularity Up in State, Even Among Republicans

This is why I left New York. New Yorkers think they are so smart, but twice they elected out of state liberals who were just looking for a launching pad to the White House.

For me, the key to defeating her is to get serious about our party and our platform, and to make sure that it stands for something that represents real CONSERVATIVE values, and which will be popular with the voters.

You're right on. And the best way to do that is to make the Texas Republican Party platform the national policy IMO.

If she makes a phony promise to put the military on the border, I think she'll win in '08.

Shhhhhhhh, do not tell anyone, the Republican candidate can make a similar promise too.

I'm sad to say I don't think a national Republican figure has the stones to do so

[My2Cents]

Even Among Republicans

The fools.

[Vision Thing]

Then something's wrong with them, or they're not really Republican.

Nah. They're just New Yorkers. That should explain what's wrong with them. :-)

It worked real well for Kerry didn't it ?

[My2Cents]

Senator John McCain, Republican from Arizona, said on "Meet the Press" that he thought Mrs. Clinton, a Democrat, would make a good president

That will come back to haunt him in '08, as well it should.

Can't we just throw water on her?

If Americans are stupid enough to believe her, maybe this nation deserves her.

Anyone who believes this article needs to wake up, this is the NY Timew writing this. Half the staff is gay.

[jveritas]

They did not believe Kerry and his liberals cohorts and their media whores.

Do not make the fatal mistake that liberals often do and assume that the American people are stupid.

PS: Do not bring Bill Clinton election as counter argument since Clinton was elected in 1992 because of weakness of GHW Bush and the Perot factor, and re-elected in 1996 because the economy was good and there was no war or a national crisis.

[My2Cents]

he had a low negative number, high positives, and then the Bush team went to work to define him, and the whole picture changed.

That's not the way I see it either. The country started to get to know John Kerry, and the more it saw of him, the less it liked him. Thank God for the Swift Boat Vets were, frankly, were better than the Bush team at debunking Kerry's faux "war hero" claim.

I don't know if they're that stupid, or just overwhelmed with life. Whatever the case, she can win. Hell 60 million voted for a piece of s#$# like kerry for christ's sake.

[Stellar Dendrite]

What was he lying about? John Kerry NEVER told a lie. He was a WAR HERO with 3 purple hearts!!

These opinion polls have been fairly consistent, though, in placing her as state's most popular politician.

And keep in mind that about 25% of Bush voters in NY approve of her job performance. That's a scary thought to me.

A perfect storm is brewing that could put the Hildabeast into the white house. She's becoming a hawk and getting tough on immigration. If she makes a phony promise to put the military on the border, I think she'll win in '08.

Think what you want. Only two kinds of people would vote for Hillary if she ran on that issue. The Democrat base (which she has no matter what) and the Buchananites/Tancredoites who won't vote Republican no matter who is running.
