There is so much middle ground for Hillary
I don't get why everyone always says there's no middle ground with Clinton and that you "either love her or hate her." I'm an Obama supporter, and no great fan of the campaign Clinton's running. But mostly, well, as Obama put it, I guess "she's likable enough" ( I might add: "In a pinch, like if it were her v. McCain and his bloodlust for Iran"). This doesn't undermine the central argument of the article--it might even strengthen it insofar as the real dynamic might be you either think she's likable enough or you hate her. . . Most of the people I talk to her are pretty lukewarm about her, from the liberals who think she's always gotten an unfair rap to the conservatives who really did hate her a decade ago.
In fact, I wonder if there's mostly middle ground with Clinton, at least among ordinary voters. Do any of these positive/negative perception polls include "ho-hum" as a response. They really should.
