the weird thing is, few people are pointing out that the obvious: a) hillary is one of the most hated politicians in america. republicans and many independents despise her. and b) hillary lags by several points in head to head polls with repbulican candidates compared to obama. obama spanks everyone but mccain, who he beats by a small margin. hillary beats everyone but mccain, who she loses to by typically several points. she's simply not very electable. in the end, more so than meaning another of the status-quo-and-nothing-more clinton's as a democratic nominee, her nomination greatly ups the chances of a whack war-monger like mccain being our next president.; 1/29/2008 01:30:00 PM
