No makeover for Hillary -- yet

Even most supporters think she's going to lose on Tuesday in New Hampshire, but Hillary Clinton sticks to the script that doesn't seem to be working.

    @ AncientAssyrian Thanks! and some clarification

    You didn't even mention that I still had 'tomorrow' - because I wrote that post yesterday.

    And I know this will not inoculate me from being called a sexist and a hater but, I was a huge fan of Bill Clinton and enthusiastically voted for him twice. I would easily vote for any woman who I thought had the credentials, integrity and electability to become president (Christy Todd Whitman comes to mind and she's even a Republican!)

    The fact is that Hillary has the highest negative rating of all the democrats and the republicans haven't even gone to work on her yet.

    If Hillary cannot even win over people who are inclined to listen to her then how on Earth does anyone see her taking votes from a John McCain? When I think about the prospect of Hillary being the nominee I shudder (not regular shudders but Mondale / Dukakis shudders!)

    This is an honest question to the Hillary supporters out there: Can you name 1 southern state (nope not even Florida) that you see Hillary winning in a general election? Can you even outline 1 reasonable scenario in which she can get the electoral votes she will need to win?
