4. Bizarre
Ask people what Hillary has done - nobody can name a thing, other than the Hillarycare debacle. I suspect she'll get creamed when the race gets going - she stands for nothing.

20. All Hillary has to say is she will follow Bill's policies and that will be
enough for her to trounce all others in the nomination fight.

21. Good Point - NAFTA And Other Low-Wage Policies
Somehow, I'm not thinking that the Middle Class is looking for another ream-o-rama. We'll see, I suppose.

11. With such a small sample size, I'd say this poll is close to useless.
Most political polls sample between 1,000 to 2,000 people.

15. The only way Democrats can lose is to nominate Hillary
Yes, that would be a good way to shoot ourselves in the foot, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for sure.
