Yep. And that it was Gallup/CNN meant that they could not ignore it. LOL...
See post 36. Also: WHY HILLARY MUST NOT WIN. WHY HILLARY CANNOT WIN.
As for hillary's problem in particular, and a female's in general G. K. Chesterton
While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times. These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real. Defeating the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary, forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration." It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."

how the clintons are handling the hillary dud factor2
"Gallup is no rightwing tool. Someone up there on the Left want to rid the party of miss hillary, methinks."
Well said! I totally agree, and they are coming out early to attempt to get her to not run, IMO.

HILLARY.....FINALLY A MAN THE DEMOCACTS CAN SUPPORT
If she can't win fairly, she'll need to prepare to win by dirty means. Hillary surely considers this good information because it allows her plenty of time to prepare.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Ironically, the logic of this pronouncement by Martin Luther King would, in short order, be refuted by the reality of his own lynching. King's hope was misplaced and his reasoning was circular. The resultant rule of law relied on by King presumed an adherence to the rule of law in the first instance. Adherence to the rule of law is not something normally associated with the clintons. Moreover, racial and ethnic disrespect, intimidation, exploitation and hate have always been a fundamental clinton tactic and the reflexive use the "N"-word and other racial and ethnic slurs, an essential element in the clinton lexicon. When the "first black president" and his wife ran Arkansas, the NAACP sued them for intimidating black voters at the polls.

Warner
George Allen would hand Warner his hat and show him the door.
Watched Warner on C-SPAN. Seemed likable, reasonable and competent... (as opposed to missus clinton)....
He struck me as a potentially tough opponent.
;)
Even more depressing for hillary, that poll was of generic Americans, not even registered likelys. It's probably stilted 5% more against her with that group.
<< MILBANK: Well, he can try to do it. But, look, he faces an awful uphill battle in winning over the typical Republican voter in a primary. Now, if the election was fought on national security, he is fine. But he's never going to convince them that he is one of them, that he is a religious conservative.
KORNBLUT: Right and not only that, but he's going to be in a death struggle with John McCain for the exact same constituency. >>
Absolute Certainty Number One: Although each has a better chance of being a factor in the 2008 election than does Mrs Rotten-Blythe, neither Mr Rudy "East-of-the-Hudson" Giuliani nor Mr John "Once-Flew-Over-the-Cukoo's-Nest -- and Came Back!" McCain will be the Republican Party's 2008 presidential candidate. Nor will either be his running mate.
Absolute Certainty Number Two: In 1990 57% of actual voters absolutely would not and actually did not vote for the front-man for [Codpiece of?] the crime family that, as the consequence of that year's presidential election and for the following eight awful years -- and despite that two hundred and twenty million of those of us then alive have NEVER voted for ANY Cli'ton -- besquatted and bemanured our once most-hallowed house and converted and effectively owned, operated, controlled, looted, subverted and sold-out the administrative branch of our government.
Might not our task then be to see to it - and despite that their organization's ever-accelerating death spiral has every one of them by-the-minute ever more flustered and morbidly-incoherent - that the "Democrats" themselves reject Mrs Cli'ton's candidacy?
And instead follow their own 2004 example and select another more electorally-viable candidate?

BUMP
And Never Came Back!
Bill Clinton was the most skillful political candidate in 1992. Frankly, the most skillful candidate of the 90's. Hillary flatly does not have the capacity to fire people up. You can't get fired up over someone who triangulates everything. "All the Kings's Men" was on cable yesterday morning. Remember the scene where Willie Stark ditches his canned speech and corrupt handlers on the stump and shows his 'hicks' that he 'shares their pain' ? Can you imagine Hillary connecting with people like that ? Bill could. He could fit in at Oxford and at a Black Baptist church. Hillary doesn't have that.
Between Feingold firing up the left and Warner getting the right it remains to be seen whether Hillary will retain the monolithic Black support she desparately needs to even be nominated.
Bill's going to have another affair publicized so she can get the sympathy vote. ;)
(In the meantime ..she needs a full time speech coach. When she rants , my cats hide.)
Horsefeathers.
A jilted woman is a victim. A victim is not commander in chief material.
Tell that to the deluded women who adore her.
