Hillary! is going to be the 'Rat nominee and it makes no difference whether or not 'Rat voters "like" her, or if she has high unfavorability ratings, now. Come crunch time and the 'Rat.e voter has to pull the lever for someone, it will almost certainly be for the 'Rat candidate. That's what they do. It matters not who the candidate is or how much they are "liked", the only thing important to a 'Rat is that they vote for the 'Rat party.
That said, I think Hillary! has the inside track on the election and unless the opposition is united in a way they never have been before, I'd say Hillary! will be moving back into 1600 come January 2009. That gives me nightmares to no end, but based on what I've seen in the campaign so far, and especially what I've seen on FR and other sites, Republicans/conservatives are more interested in destroying each other than they are in beating Hillary!, who is the real enemy.
It seems a lot of conservatives would rather have their taxes raised into the stratosphere and have Ginsburg like judges sitting on the Supreme Court then vote for Rudy.
Cause they have principles, don't you know.
