I am convinced there are a lot of Hillary haters out there in both parties. Someone is going to jump into the Dem race. Hillary is vulnerable, and Bill, as astute a politicians as he is, is going to be a drag on her.; 2/7/14, 10:16 AM

The Godfather said...: The interesting number is that Hillary is at 43-44% against anybody. She is very well known, undoubtedly better known than any of the Republicans in these match-ups. She isn't likely to increase her support by persuading undecideds that she's more attractive than they think she is, so her strategy, if nominated, would have to be to persuade the undecided that her Republican opponent, whoever he is, is obnoxious, repellant, and nasty. 2016 should be an unpleasant year.

These numbers also show there's a real opportunity for a non-Hillary Democrat to get the nomination, just as happened in 2008.; 2/7/14, 10:24 AM

Contrary to a lot of people, I don't think that her problem is that she is a woman, but rather, that she is Hillary! - with a record of corruption, etc going back to the Nixon years, when she was bounced from the Watergate investigation for unethical conduct. This extended through her Arkansas years with the Rose Law Firm, WhiteWater, the S&L, etc, and into the White House, with pulling FBI files of political opponents, including a lot of Republicans, trading Presidential Pardens for campaign contributions, up to stealing some of the silver on the way out the door. Moreover, this proto-feminist icon ran the WH Bimbo Patrol, attempting to destroy the reputations of any woman with the temerity to (often accurately) accuse her husband of sexual predation. Then, of course, we got the 3 a.m. call commercials in 2008, and both she and her boss being AWOL the night of 9/11/12 when our ambassador and three other Americans were murdered in Benghazi on their watch. And, their murders being famously dismissed with "what does it matter"?

Yes, a lot of people really do dislike the woman, but it isn't because she is a woman, but rather, because her level of corruption and lying is worse than any other politician of her national prominence, and because her politics are far left of center, at a time when the country is apparently moving to the right, esp. in response to the Obama Presidency.

Also, she is old - will be nearing 70 in 2016, and nearing 80 after two terms of office. Note that her Republican competitors are much younger - 20+ years for most of them. I esp. note the difference with lean, muscled, vigorous Paul Ryan. Hard to attract the youth vote that so greatly helped Obama in his two elections when she will be 40 or so years older than many of them. How can they relate to someone who hasn't driven in over 20 years, because she had government supplied drivers, or, because she and her husband were so rich that they could,and did, afford personal chauffeurs? Does she buy groceries? Blog on the Web? Use Facebook and Twitter? Or is that something that her people do for her? Hard to feel anyone else's pain, since she feels so little herself due to her family's immense wealth and influence.; 2/7/14, 10:45 AM

Laslo Spatula said...: @ Bruce:

Part of the intended humor was from moving directly from Hillary to the statement that thus no female could. As Althouse would tag: charming bad logic.; 2/7/14, 10:55 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: The rest of them should just stay at home and back Ryan.

Ryan's big problem is the base. He seems to have tacked to the center (maybe in anticipation of running in 2016) in terms of the budget and immigration, at a time when much of the base is pushing for him to move in the other direction. In other words, he appears to many to have sold out to the DC power brokers. Maybe not accurate, but still how he appears to many.

Cruz and Paul don't have this problem. They are still fighting the good fight, and doing so well. Both though are Senators, and that on occasion results in both bad candidates, and in Obama's case, and even worse President. Christie, of course, is a popular Blue State governor, which is why the Dems, along with the MSM, are trying so hard to take him out now.

I think that one of the things that is so distinctive about these Republican front runners is how vigorous they are, esp. in comparison with the sexagenarian Hillary! I don't think that this is going to help her in the general election.; 2/7/14, 10:56 AM

Laslo Spatula said...: Meade for President bumper sticker:

Bruce Hayden said...: Do we have to assume that there's only one possible governor who could run on either side? Please, no more senators.

Agreed - though I really do like both Cruz and Paul. Esp. Cruz because he is probably the best debater at the national level in either party. He is the one whom I think most likely to just crush Hillary! in a debate - the biggest problem with debating her is likely to be the tendency of men appearing to be mean to a vulnerable woman, and his debating style would minimize that risk.

Still, there are plenty of governors out there who would make good candidates, and probably decent Presidents - far better than what we have now, and what Hillary! would bring us. I think that the Republican bench is a bit deeper here, esp. since so many of the Dem governors seem to be either political hacks or far left whack jobs like Brown in CA and Coumo in NY. I think that the Dems would have to go with Red or Purple state governors to be effective. I think that Gov. Hickendooper here in CO would be good - successful businessman until entering politics fairly recently as Denver's mayor, and now governor.; 2/7/14, 11:12 AM

The problem for Paul and Cruz is that they are loathed by the GOP elite and won't be able to get any money or high-profile support. As soon as they start to show any strength in the primaries, they will be buried in an avalanche of negative advertising. Think of Gingrich and Santorum in 2012. It was not the Dems who did them in...it was Romney and his surrogates...with big money.

Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, and Romney. Who is most like these guys? That is who you're going to get. The smoke is just a show for our entertainment, brought to you by Fox News and MSNBC.; 2/7/14, 11:32 AM

Garage, if you'll scroll down to the end of the section your quoted poll results are from, you'll find this:

"This poll interviewed 800 registered Wisconsin voters by both landline and cell phone Oct. 21-24, 2013. "

So the poll (a) is from last October, and (b) tells only how Walker does against Clinton in Wisconsin, not nationally.

The page has multiple polls. The one that asked about the national race was from last year (which is why it also asks about the government "shutdown").; 2/7/14, 2:12 PM

Jack Lifton said...: It is ridiculous to say that Americans don't want a female president. The issue for Hilary Clinton is simply that she is Hilary Clinton. She is rapidly becoming a stale political hack. The symbol-in-chief has taught us a lesson.

The Godfather said...: I hope Scott is right about the return to Normalcy. Liberal historians have given Harding a pretty bad rap, but I sure would rather have lived under his administration than Wilson's (even Wilson's first term, so we don't get into a war v. peace thing).

Sunsong (2:06 pm) tees off on my earlier comment and says "The far right makes it easy [to persuade the undecided that Hillary's Republican opponent, whoever he is, is repellant, obnoxious, and nasty]." See, this is the kind of mindless partisanship that makes modern politics so . . . dull. Christie is on that list of potential Republican nominees. No one would call him far right. Ryan is on the list. No sensible person would call him far right -- right, yes, but not far (he really didn't throw the old lady in the wheel chair off the cliff).

Cruz and Rand, for different reasons, might fairly be characterized as far right, but what's wrong with that? After eight years of a far left president, what would be wrong with a far right one, just for balance?

I'm kind of pulling your leg, Sunsong. My point is: Your calling a potential candidate far right, or far left, or far middle, really doesn't tell us anything about the candidate: It only tells us something about you.; 2/7/14, 5:55 PM
Freder Frederson said...: After eight years of a far left president, what would be wrong with a far right one, just for balance?

I didn't say anything about a potential candidate. What I'm saying is that "THE" far right, the folks who simply cannot abide anyone who does not agree with their extremism - "THEY" will make sure that it is their extremism that defines the GOP. And that will make it easy for others to identify any candidate with them and therefore fulfill your prediction.

In other words the chances of someone making it through the republican primaries without endorsing ideas that are "obnoxious, repellant, and nasty" are very, very slim, imo.; 2/7/14, 7:07 PM

On the other hand, I am literate, in the narrow sense of being able to read English at a 6th-grade level, which apparently you are not. I did not " criticiz[e] people for call some of the potential candidates far right", while calling Obama far left. I agreed with Sunsong that you could call Rand and Cruz far right, and if you do, and if you're honest, you'd have to agree that Obama is far left. Back to reading comprehension class for you -- and introductory manners, too.

@Sunsong, you say that the "far right" are "the folks who simply cannot abide anyone who does not agree with their extremism". You have demonstrated in your comments intolerance of people who don't agree with you. Once again, you've said nothing substantive about conservatives, but you revealed a lot about yourself. Think about it.; 2/7/14, 9:44 PM

Your comments to me have nothing to do with what I have actually said, so there is nothing to think about. But something for you to honestly think about is what I've already said:
