Comments on: Will Hillary Hurt The Rest Of The Ticket?

Democrats Worry Sen. Clinton Is Too Polarizing For The Party's Success

[tuckerndfw]

If Democrats want to continue their losing streak, all they need to do is nominate Hillary as their presidential candidate.

Those negatives are not going to improve which means Hillary has to carry every single vote of people who do not oppose her. Which is not going to happen.

Hillary is more divisive than George Bush. If she was elected (which she won't be), we would hear the same "I hate her/I love her" for the next four years we have heard for the past 16 years.

We desperately need a candidate who will unite the nation. We do not need another polarizing figure in the White House.

Hillary is the worst candidate available.

I would vote for George Bush before I would vote for Hillary.

I disagree with a lot of the specifics of this analysis--a lot of it is based on believing that the efforts of Republican spinmeisters to demonize Hillary have left a permanent impression, but I tend to believe that she will come across very favorably across from pretty much any of the Republicans running, especially the feisty Giuliani. How polarizing she will come across with Republicans and Indendents will be a function of who she faces, not how she was seen in the past.

Hillary will be most polarizing to her own hard-core Democratic rank-and-file because she is a conservative (not "centrist") candidate trying to head the ticket of the country's liberal party, and it rankles. She may still be defeated in the primaries despite her high polling if she can't drop her militarist attitudes anytime she talks about post-Iraq foreign policy...

Puhleeeese. I am no fan of Hilary Clinton's but she can certsinly do no worse than Bush. That man took this country to lower than zero. Now...no matter what, any move away from Bush and the neo con agenda will see the US go no where--but UP.

[toldyouso21]

The problem with Hilary--is not only the mistrust and dislike by many Republicans, it is the very real truth that Hilary is not anything. She blows whichever way the wind blows.

Want a war? Hilary is for it. Don't want a war? Hilary is still for it, but would have fought it differently. Need to win the Democratic nomination among a group who by and large are against the invsion under any circumstances? Then Hilary begins to regret the war.

When I hear Hilary speak, my stomach curls. Both she, and most Democrats are counting on the angst and dislike of the Republicans and our wish to avoid another Bush moment----to out trump our angst and dislike of Hilary.

There is something very ruthless and ugly about having only the conviction of winning. Winning, forget about scruples or true stands on issues--just win. By trying to be all things to all people and placing her personal agenda of winning above the party and the country---Hilary has shown her true colors. A more decent person, just as polarizing would not have placed personal ambition above the need for the country to heal and move away from the right. But Hilary comes first and by doing so--she may represent the greatest loss of an election ever.

please Al Gore, reconsider running for the sake of your party and the country.

Would JEGibbons like Hillary bettter if she had Betty Crocker's apron on? We are not the stay at home people dominated by males any longer, we now realize that we have the right to speak our opinion and that we also have the brains and guts to say it! You sound like a typical 60+ MALE that cannot accept the fact that women are coming out of the closet!

[infidel_us]

Hillary is a fatlly flawed candidate. If she's the candidate of choice, we WILL retain the white house.

"Izzz no ways tireddddd.......I comes too farrrrrr"

[jegibbons]

I'm amazed how many people cannot or will not see the forest for the trees, when it comes to Hillary. This women has all of her husband's character flaws, without an ounce of his charm & charisma.

The very idea that she could be the representation of what a woman ought to aspire to in the political arena today, speaks poorly for all American women. She is nobody's champion. Her interests are purely selfish.

It's all about character, people. This woman has NONE! Like John Kerry, she will say anything to get elected. Just one real solution to the myriad of problems our government is facing would be a start.

HILLARY IS NOT THE SOLUTION!

[mikekleber]

After seven years of lies and disregard for our country, anyone, and I mean anyone, will be an improvement. I think Hillary would be able to handle any situation thrown at her very well. Besides, I am curious to see what a yutz Bill will be as first man.

[rhs648]

How ironic! The top runner could hurt the candidates at the bottom. Sounds similar to some Republicans running from George Bush. Can Hillary succeed with unfavorable feelings among half of the American people. This may give Republican candidates the edge. This could be an interesting election.

[notbuynit]

She is way underestimated. More likely she will do everything right and lay waste to whoever gets in her path. My money is on her for all the marbles, no matter who does not like it. She is tougher than anyone gives her credit for. The ones who hate her are the ones who will be crying.

Well most of the rest of us still like you donnie....even if we disagree with you sometimes......so post all you like!

[incog-nito]

Time for Dems to stop nit-picking and close rank and vote for the nominee, period. Can't afford another 4 four years like the past 7. And if you're a cynical independent or "Green" party still hoping for a Nader comeback, well, it won't happen, but good luck anyway.

[donnie900]

Hillary is only polarizing because of the unrelenting smear coming from the reicht winged neocons and fascists that control the Repuglicon Party. The dumb white male syndrome that is embedded in Repuglicon culture could also be the permanent undoing of these morons. Barack Obama is the clear choice for the Democrats. Obama, with Bill Richardson as his running mate will be unstoppable. PALEEEEZE CONDUMBS: Pick Mitt Romney as your man in 2008. PAAAAAAAAALEEEEEEEZE!

I will not be voting for anyone who supports AMNESTY for illegal aliens.
