Why Hillary Can't Win: She is simply cannon fodder for every whacko right wing hit job possible. Simply unbelievable.

Hillary would indeed attract the unprecedented fury of the wingnuts, but I don't even think that's the main reason she'd lose. Rather, she'd lose because she's severely angered her own base. Supporting the war in Iraq like this, from the get-go through years and years later, was dumb-- ethically disagreeable and politically stupid. Whatever else the Democrats are, they're bitterly opposed to the Iraq War and generally anti-war overall, and Hillary's shot herself in the foot here.

Plus Dems don't like her domestic stands, either-- she's far too cozy with big business, especially the kind that's opposed to organized labor and fair wages. And Hillary's support for outsourcing is a candidacy killer-- despite Hillary's reputation for being politically astute, doing things like supporting outsourcing is incredibly dumb.

Barack Obama or John Edwards would have a much better shot at winning in 2008. Hillary Clinton is radioactive, and she'd cause the Democrats a worse disaster than they've experienced in decades on the electoral map.

Well, I agree with all that you have written, but I think that the right wing noise machine works more effectively against her than against anyone else.

But I agree with your points completely, and only disagreements between us are just splitting hairs. Thanks for the post.
