Fair or not, a lot of people don't like Hillary
This spin that she's "tested" ignores the fact that the Clintons, have a lot of baggage that the right wing noise machine, will pick up and run with.
Certainly, Obama has done a fantastic job of overcoming all of the negatives that have been thrown at him so far, the meme that he's got this weird sounding Muslim name, seems to have backfired. The drugs thing isn't sticking, and those who might vote against him because he's an African American, won't exactly be tripping over themselves, to vote for Hillary either.
Everyone who voted for Hillary in the fall, will vote for Obama. But it's hard to say that the reverse is true, especially if people end up feeling disenfranchised, because the Super Delegates, ignore the popular vote, and vote for Hillary.
On Charlie Rose the other night, one Republican pundit said that, his cynical side hoped Hillary would win, because she would be easier to beat in November. But his idealistic side hopes Obama wins, because he believes that he can bring the country together. He said that the right will go ballistic, if Hillary wins, certainly she'll galvanize the base, in a way that no one else can.
