Hillary the prudent

Democrats burning for the inspirational uplift of Barack Obama or the left-leaning edge of John Edwards may not be ready for an authentic moderate.

    Polls, smolls

    Hillary has higher numbers in most categories because she is better known.

    From 43 oppose to 32 oppose is not a huge difference, particularly when comparing a famous name to two not so famous names.

    Once either Obama or Edwards becomes better known, or the actual candidate, their numbers will probably become similar to Hillary's, particularly after the Republican smear machine goes after them. Their numbers may even become worse. There is a segment of the public that is just not going to vote for a Democrat.
