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."

I'd love to see similar poll numbers on McCain - how many would no way, no how, ever vote for him. Count me among them. I'd really be interested to see the numbers among registered Republicans to even nominate the liberal media's favorite "R".

Great CLARITY, pl, just like your STAR WARS namesake.

Amazingly the MSM aided and abetted her downfall, broadcasting Hillary's demonic statement re the Repub Plantation----"you know what I'm talking about"----words that showcased her hateful face to the world as conservatives have always seen her.........as a calculated, conniving Christian-hating individual who is not fit for public office at any level of government.
Will take more than one to do the rolling though.
But will always come off looking like Madame Mao.
Remember:
It takes a Plantation to raise a child.....

He will be out there campaigning for her and we all saw last week how many people are still stuck on stupid when it comes to BC.
It's how Bill's friend Ross Perot helped him get elected and with all the people I see saying no way will I show up to vote for ***insert name here*** or I will vote third party we could be doomed for another 4 - 8 years. IF she is the candidate in '08 people are going to have to vote with their heads not their emotions.
"They turn away in disgust and tune them out."
Exactly! The media can't pull them in anymore, not like in the recent past. We have FReepers, blogs, the net, FOX, and a lot of really good conservative radio shows to keep us on the road to truth. We don't have to buy into the neoMarxism of cnn or the abc channels.
ROTFL.......priceless.
What is Jane Pauley's official job title, these days? To be fair, Jane Pauley could be on the DNC payroll for all I know. She's pratty much dropped out of sight since her talk show tanked, hasn't she?
What I'm trying to say nicely is that she may not be main stream media anymore.
Flame away! I am a woman ... but no one has more contempt for stupid women than I have!
... and how that power mad spoiler John McCain could get Hillary elected ... just for spite against the Republican party if he is not their candidate ... and then runs as an independent in 2008!
Watch John McCain and do not ever trust him. There is really something wrong with him! He is like a petulant child who will destroy all the toys just so other children cannot play with them.
My opinion of John McCain in Post No. 96.
Thanks, m_f, it's an honor just to be pinged to those two. :)
So what can we do to get her to lose here in the senate seat...
That is where we have to focus. Defeat her NOW, then we won't have to wait till 08..
Spencer for Senate!
