Clinton adviser: Women of GOP will back her

The Houston Chronicle ^ | October 18, 2007

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's top strategist predicted Thursday that nearly a quarter of Republican women would support Clinton for president — a claim that later drew a sharp rebuke from rival Barack Obama's camp.

Mark Penn, Clinton's senior adviser and pollster, told reporters that private surveys suggested about 24 percent of Republican women would vote for Clinton "because of the emotional element of having a woman nominee."

Can this be true?

[Always Right]

LOL, most women will see Hillary as someone who can’t even control her husband and yet she wants to run the country. Give me a break.

Clinton adviser: Women of GOP will back her

THIS one won't.

[wastedyears]

Why would level-headed women want to vote for her?

[ElkGroveDan]

What does he think the NASCAR men of the Democrat Party will when the GOP plays commercials of that shrill podium-pounding shrew that reminds them all of the nagging from their ex-wives times ten?

(and by the way I don’t believe that many GOP women will defect).

[martin_fierro]

SAY IT AIN'T SO!

[umgud]

How many middle class white males will vote for her?

[LouAvul]

A lot of women I talk to, of both parties, are so uninformed
and apathetic that (the article) could be true.

[BenLurkin]

No.

Another classic Clinton “big lie”.

[indylindy]

I am a female conservative. I would not vote for this Marxist pig just because she is a woman.

This is nonsense...but I hope the old witch believes it.

She will be mistaken.

[Mygirlsmom]

I think it's partly wishful thinking....say it and it will become so.

Seems to me I read that some of Sadaam's minions "stretched the truth" about their scientific accomplishments so as to keep in their leader's good graces.

Sadaam had shredders. Hillary has ashtrays.

Clinton adviser: Women of GOP will back Stab her

Omitted word replaced

[MotleyGirl70]

Neither will this one.

Hillary represents everything I despise about liberalism.

[vetsvette]

If it is, it will be the strongest recommendation yet for restricting the vote to the male of the species.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Can this be true?

Uh, no.

[MEG33]

I don’t know any that would back Hillary.

[Junior_G]

I think this could be true. I’ve heard several women who don’t really pay attention to politics express excitement over voting a woman into the White House.

[indylindy]

You are correct. I know Democrat women who despise Hillary.

Let her keep fooling herself. More people than she knows think ill of her.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I live in NYS and I know a lotta 'Rat females who have no intention of voting for Hillie. And I don't know a single Pubbie of either gender who will.

[TheDon]

Wishful thinking. “It’s the national defense, stupid.” Those who love America will not vote for the Rats due to their weak stand on national defense, to put it mildly. And those who hate America will not vote for the Rats because the Rats haven’t done enough, in their view, to bring down America, i.e. impeach President Bush, get us out of Iraq, etc.

Hillary and the congressional Rats will be sent packing in ‘08.

[Just mythoughts]

The Republicans are out of their own claims “BIG TENTERS” and anything/anybody goes. Now what these liberals are counting upon is that netherandall MAN (Christian white men) that brought forth the I AM woman uprising will draw back upon an emotional reaction about supporting womanhood... There is, I do not know how vast but an element of truth in this particularly among younger women and of supposed religious persuasions.

[bannie]

"It ain't so."

This is just one of her "big lies" that she hopes she can make happen with repetition.

[DoughtyOne]

Crackhead advisor to Clinton says...

Film at eleven.

[MotleyGirl70]

(and by the way I don’t believe that many GOP women will defect).

I have two liberal girlfriends who won't even vote for her.

[seekthetruth]

She’s dreaming! I don’t know anyone who is thinking of voting for Hillary, even among all my Democrat friends!

[rockrr]

I’ve never heard a single woman on the right side of the equation who views sHrillary as anything other than conniving and repugnant.

This pipe dream of capturing their vote because of her alleged female status is laughable.

First they gotta prove she’s human!

[italianquaker]

My mother in law who cried when that buffoon kerry lost even hates hillary

[CodeMasterPhilzar]

The women I've talked to about her like the idea of a woman nominee or President... But their universal reaction to Hitlery is "{diety} -NO! Not her as the first woman nominee/President! It'd be decades before the country would try that again!"

[chaos_5]

LOL, and how many DNC men won’t?

[Jim Noble]

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's top strategist predicted Thursday that nearly a quarter of Republican women would support Clinton for president

This is probably close to right.

Gore and Kerry both did (relatively) well among Republican women.

Hillary did very, very well among upstate and suburban Republican women in both 2000 and 2006.

[Keith]

Even my fairly liberal mother says to me “Hillary as president? Tell me God wouldn’t do that to us...”

[chaos_5]

Yeah, she will believe it, and then the votes are counted, scream fraud because the results don’t match their polling data.

Clinton Takes Stand on Driver’s License Issue (Sort Of)

Yup, Pubbie females are really gonna rush to back that.

SNORT.

[Cicero]

Well, we already know that Freeper women won’t vote for her. But will the average soccer mom? I’m afraid it’s very possible.

Nothing against women in that. Joe Six Pack isn’t necessarily better informed. But a good portion of the electorate, male and female, is simply ignorant of the real issues, and women might well vote for a woman without even considering the issues. We can be quite sure that the media will work on their ignorance.

[hunter112]

When I read the title, I was thinking McCain. I’m suprised to see how well he’s rebounded from exile.

I've only lived here about six months, and I can second that motion. I only met one Hispanic female who was pro-Hillary since I've been here, and she's 26 years old, and full of crazy ideology. My lady has liberal girlfriends, and I've gotten a sense of distrust of Hillary from them, her handling of the Lewinsky affair left a bad taste in their mouths. (please pardon the expression!)

[Eva]

Who cares about the idiocy of a Hillary adviser? Why aren’t we talking about the tons of money that Hillary is pulling out of China town in NY, from phoney addresses and poor bus boys? She also announced that she will not return the funds from Hsu, that were donated to her Senate campaign or her PAC. These funds were over and above the funds that were donated to her presidential campaign and amounted to over $250,000.

[Newfy]

Nothing will be sweeter than to see Hillary’s arrogant balloon broke. Of course, they will have to put her (and probably Bill) on a suicide watch just like they did Bill when he lost one of his Arkansas elections. The thought that she might lose is anathema to her and unthinkable. In her mind she already has it sewed up and she’s probably already planning how to redecorate the Oval Office and what stuff to move back to the White House not to mention her plans for the country.

N0!

This is spin being put out by a Hillary Campaign mouthpiece. He is simply practicing the old Leftist tactic of the Big Lie. Scream a lie often enough and some people will think it is true.

This is about as credible as listening to a Bin Laden tape to find out how the war is going.

[tndarlin]

Not me!!

[Farmer Dean]

Vote for Hillary?You most likely don’t associate with people that would do a thing like that.

[originalbuckeye]

AS IF!!!

[vpintheak]

So women do not have the ability to see good & evil? I don’t think so, my wife can even see percieved evil.

[DuncanWaring]

Just like they supported Geraldine Ferraro.

[Sooth2222]

Did Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s top strategist predict Thursday what fraction of Democrat men would support Clinton for president? I don’t recall reading that.

[mewzilla]

I don't think having prospective Hillie voters considered as "women with needs" has helped, either. Any woman with any pride is going to be pretty ticked off by that. Maternalism is every bit as offensive as paternalism. The gender of the nanny running the state doesn't matter.

[mdittmar]

Guess that anti-Troops platform she tried didn't poll so well.

Looks like she trying to go after the women vote bigtime.

Hope conservative women will counter this.

[MNJohnnie]

This article is not talking about typical uninformed "Moderate" women as you are. What they are claiming is a large number of committed women GOP voters will cross over simply because she is a woman. NO they will not.

I can see a scenario developing where a large number of Conservative Christian women might be staying HOME because they do not believe they have anything to vote FOR, but they will not cross over and vote for Hillary ever.
