Hillary is, by far, the most hated woman in America. If she chooses to run, she'll do about as well as Janet Reno did in Florida.
I sure hope so. Because that woman scares me cold. NOTHING will stop her in her attempt to gain more power.
Let's do the math of the electoral map:
As a frame of reference, start HERE. It's the Presidentelect.org map (a nonpartisan site) that projects Bush vs. Dean. It shows Bush up only 321 to 217. I know that sounds crazy, but when you look at the map, it's not hard to believe that Dean could with the states he's getting credit for.
- Assume Hillary has a lock on all of Dean's solid and leaning states (again, 217 votes).
- If she picks up the states that are only leaning towards Bush (53 votes), she has 270. That's a MAJORITY. I can see here winning each one if we forgot about Iraq like we did Gulf War I, the occupation goes badly, and the economy doesn't recover (or the press convinces us that the economy hasn't recovered).
In 1968, Nixon was probably the most hated man in America. Don't write her off so casually.
And remember... she cheats.
