This is the major distinction between '08, '00 and '04 (and even '96). The Dems threw Gore and Lurch at us and we had no choice but to vote for whoever ran against them. It was Mr. Compassionate.
This isn't going to happen this time around. Conservatives will now be voting "FOR" a candidate, rather than 'against' a Shillary. And they are screwed, and here's why: Affection toward a candidate is contagious. Those around you will note the sincerity that you exude toward Fred.
Nothing could be further from the truth surrounding Hillary. There's no affection. Only gamesmanship- first woman president. Novel, but not everlasting. And certainly nothing approaching what could be considered 'affection'.
Well stated. IMHO, the conventional wisdom that is mired in the 2000/2004 electoral map will be turned on it’s ear. Fred is a much stronger candidate than Bush was.
