Which is what I find puzzling about the hatred of Clinton. In many ways, she is a centrist. Much more so than Obama, I would think. It would seem that, if the right were to get a handle on their visceral hatred of this woman for a moment, they would realize that A) a democrat IS going to win. and B) there is likely a better chance of her working with them, for better or worse. I think that Obama, with a democrat controlled congress is going to potentially make them wish she got the nod.

Then again, perhaps that is why Coulter is supporting her. Either that, or it is reverse psychology, in the sense that by supporting her, they hope others will and they feel that they might actually be able to beat her. Honestly, I don't think they can though.

I found the numbers of votes in each state interesting yesterday. In every state that I saw, democratic voters far outnumbered Republicans. Maybe I'm missing something, but I didn't expect to see that.

I completely disagree. I perceive Hillary to be someone who is more interested in making her opponents look bad in order to gain political advantage than she is in doing the right thing.

Interesting. I don't see it that way, obviously. And it seems to me that if she simply does the right thing, as you say, that will completely serve the purpose of making them look bad in order to gain political advantage - without even trying. Sort of a killing two birds with one stone scenario. And hell, after the last eight years, is it even possible to make them look worse?

And that's where I part ways. To me, a vote for Hillary is a vote to continue the divisive "Everything on MY side of the aisle is right, everything on THE OTHER side of the aisle is wrong" politics. I fear her administration is going to be entirely reactionary. "They had their way for 8 years, now we'll have ours!" I just don't see Hillary doing anything but continuing politics as usual, something I despise, no matter how closely my views on the issues align with those in charge.
