She may be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, but she’s got a lot of convincing to do:
[A]ccording to a new Harris Poll, half of U.S. adults say they would not vote for Senator Clinton if she was the Democratic candidate, while only 36 percent say they would, with 11 percent unsure. Her own party is not unanimously behind her either, as 21 percent of Democrats say they would not vote for her. In the all-important contest for Independents, 48 percent say they would not vote for Senator Clinton, while 37 percent say they would.
Gender also plays an important role. While one would expect that women would be more likely than men to lean towards Senator Clinton, this is not the case as 38 percent of women and 34 percent of men both say they would vote for her. Even among women there is a divide as four in 10 (41%) single women say they would vote for Senator Clinton, compared to 36 percent of married women. Over half of both men (56%) and married women (52%) say they would not vote for her for president.
The one thing I can see that would guarantee Hillary getting into the White House is if the Republicans nominate someone like McCain.

It;s too early to make such predictionsx. With the elections not until next year, who knows what is going to happen to each candidate’s campaign. Clinton my sink lower and bow out, or that can happen to any of the others regardless of party. That’s politics at its best and worst. Obama has some dipsy-doodle stuff that is propelling him fast. But Clinton has Bill. So, hold the condiments. As for the republican side … hmmm … I actually don’t give any of them a fighting chance. But knowing how the 2000 and 2004 elections turned out, I hesittate to call it a victory for the Liberals — yet.
