VOTERS OVER THE HILL (Clinton's support hits rock bottom)
NY POST ^ | February 12, 2006 | IAN BISHOP, Post Correspondent

Posted on 02/12/2006 3:54:14 AM PST by Liz

The GOP is seeing the first signs that it's made some nicks in Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's political armor in a new poll that shows her support dropping dramatically.

RasmussenReports.com surveyed Clinton's presidential hopes every two weeks over the last year.....found that support for her presidential ambitions has hit rock bottom............

Now just 27 percent say they'd definitely vote for her — down seven points from the start of the year — and 43 percent say there's no way they'd cast a ballot for her, an eight-point uptick in the past month.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen, who accurately forecast the outcome of the 2004 White House race, said Clinton's support has plummeted among men and party faithful.

This poll is the latest in a trend of weakening support for her White House hopes. She now has a 47 percent unfavorable rating, and 45 percent of respondents say she's a political liberal.

Those are the two key points GOP strategists are aiming to expand in the eyes of voters in America's heartland —the Midwestern states that will likely swing the election in 2008.

"As 2008 gets closer, she'll have to go to the left to win. We'll try to roll her further in that direction," one GOPer told The Post. "She's been talking moderate, but she has a liberal voting record — and we'll point that out and why she's trying to hide from it."

"She's been talking moderate, but she has a liberal voting record...."

She's just a liberal schizoid who needs intense aversion therapy.

Hillary doesn't have the ability to BS nearly as well as Bill. Very few people anywhere look as good as Bill or speak as well as Bill in front of the TV camera.

On the other hand she will have the full support of the mainstream media during any campaign for office. Although the mainstream media has lost much of their ability to shape the the news they are not powerless. They are still a force to be reckoned with.

I am getting worried about Hitlerly...I think conservatives should start talking nice about her and encourage dummycraps to nominate her. She will turn out even better for the GOP than that flip-flop pathological liar JFK.

When/if she is in the national spotlight again all the Billary crimes will also be back in the national spotlight. Bring it on! Seems that two people with so much to hide would just slither back under their cow patty.

She moved rightward, the lefties didn't like it, and the righties didn't believe it.

<< ..... that flip-flop pathological liar JFK .... >>

I don't think it's nice to call Mr Kerry a flip-flopping pathological liar.

Or fair.

Or decent.

Or even necessary.

When traitor already covers him pretty darned well.

"27% Eyes Wide Shut.

Now now. We took offense when the Kerry people said that 52% of Americans have no clue what they are doing when they voted for Bush. Let's not accuse people of being morons quite yet. Let's just say that their ideology is based on being looked after by mother Hillary and her Marxist ideology.

OK, now you can call them morons.
