State Of The Race: A Powerful Point For Hillary

Yesterday, I posted my personal views on the "State Of The Race" and got quite a response.

Today, I ran into an interesting survey about Senator Clinton.

Her home state approval rating among Democrats is a remarkable 81%. (And 19% above her fellow Democratic Senator, Chuck Schumer.)

She is as popular among Democrats in her state as Ted Kennedy is here in Massachusetts.

What does this mean?

The more people see her, the more people like. (I believe this is because people are seeing her directly and without the prism of the right wing media.)

Moving forward, it is a potential note of significant strength moving forward.

Stay tuned.

Are we sure those numbers are going up?

That is up 9 pts from a poll done last year.

And like Bush is failing miserably.

and most likely never will

But I can assure you Hillary will get enough to win the nomination.

Oh, sorry... the North American Union?

(GAWD I wish they'd call it ONAN! :bounce:)

She ran to replace an embarrassment against a schmuck and then another self shooting schmuck in he re-election. people respect and honestly choose her to be Senator. Wildly enthusiastic as with RFK? Not generally. A cause of reluctance and dismay as a presidential candidate? A LOT more than that poll purports to color. I can imagine some of the enthusiastic women and their reasons and they only remind me of the Mondale support in the state with some extra for her being the first woman. And not all women are very happy even if they are part of that 81%. It means nothing in NY, I hope. She should take the primary if she is doing well by that time. No Jesse Jackson shock awaits her, but it bodes ill for the nationwide support- and its character- overall.

"Tell me she isn't going to win." That is a moderate NY Dem voter who always will vote for her sturdy representation in the Senate. That is one of the 81% and so am I with stronger reservations about her policy intentions and record. The jump from her to Ted Kennedy has an apples and oranges fruit salad mush about it too, the gush de jour. I am afraid, I am certain, that the emotional characterization is wishful hyperbole and that if enthusiasm and passion is a factor we are on Rovian thin ice- worse than before and all the worse for it being already fixed in steady state BEFORE this campaign ever started. It has all the prospects of an arranged marriage and while we cross our fingers the other side prepares simply to double cross the voters completely.

So under the absurd onslaught of an irrational slate situation, we wait with bated breath for the besieged voters, and suffer the jammering of media fools with easier fare than a Joe Lieberman to foist on the marks. Luckily or dismaying the success records of all concerned is mixed. So much for the state of democracy currently imperfectly residing in one single party which from the top on down doesn't much get the situation.

:hi:

In Iowa we want her to stay home!
