Poll: Thumbs Down on Prez Hillary Clinton

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Im not sure if this is good news or bad. I really want to see her run and loose. At least she will no longer represent New York

Poll: Thumbs Down on Prez Hillary Clinton

By a margin of three to one, Americans say they would "definitely" vote against Hillary Clinton for president, a CNN/Gallup poll released Tuesday has found.

While just 16 percent say they had made up their minds to back Clinton when she seeks the presidency in 2008, 51 percent say there's no way they want to see the former first lady back in the White House.

Men are the most vehement when it comes to the prospect of another Clinton presidency, with 60 percent telling Gallup they would vote against Hillary for sure.

Reporting on the Gallup survey in today's edition, the New York Post notes that women are slightly less repulsed by the notion of Mrs. Clinton running the country, with just 43 percent saying they definitely don't want to see her in the Oval Office.

Even Mrs. Clinton's liberal base isn't solidly behind her, with a full one-third of self described liberals telling Gallup/CNN they have no intention of supporting her in 2008.

W00T! Down with the white man!

There's something perverse and hilarious about Hillary Clinton being your Senator, Gawain.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Whoa. She's already got a majority of people against her.

That won't stop her from probably winning the dem nomination

I'll tell you why people are against her, aside form the fact that she is too much of a politician....its because hillary as president is a package deal, just as bill was a package deal. Catch my drift? Bill and Hilary were in office 8 years, thats enough. Now had she divorced him after the affair I might have a small amount of respect for her, but I guess it depends on which affair and still I would probably still think she sucked. No thanks

Funny way of thinking about politics. Let us see what argumentation against Hillary for President we have here.

1. Hillary is a politician.
   I take it Monsieur Dump would prefer to elect a butcher, dentist or Avon consultant who has never seen the inside of a political party or body of elected representatives?
2. Hillary worked with her husband when he was President.
   And a very succesful President to boot: eight years in office, admired for his political sixth sense as well as for having a wife who shared his political agenda and worked for it. The Dumpster would have preferred a politically amorphous blob for a first lady -- the kind that bakes cookies and manipulates her husband in the bedroom only.
3. Hillary has not divorced her husband over his affairs
   The Major is incapable of grasping the concept of marriage which includes the notion that partners commit for life and preferably settle their marital differences by other than legal means unless said life becomes unbearable.

All in all, the Major's choice for President would be a divorced Avon consultant who is good at lighting Christmas trees.

I liked this bit, but didn't you mean Monica sucked?

[Navaros]

In my view they are not going to elect a woman President any time in the forseeable future and I highly doubt there would ever be a woman candidate. Isn't it usually the custom that they just have one "token woman" candidate in the pool before they choose the one actual candidate who will run?

Further to that, Hilary is a loser who stayed with an adulterer. Why would Americans elect a known loser as President. Not very logical.

Jenna is the zany one.

A real ho by all means.

Statistically, she would be leading the third invasion of Iraq.

And I'm betting it's with the words "third time the charm"
