The Clintons are not nice people. Ask the guy who they stole his company from. The Clintons are bad for the country and bad for the democrats.

WOW! A solid THIRD of the electorate in California says they won't vote for Hillary? Big deal. A solid third of this country are hard core Republicans who won't vote for any Democrat, regardless of what they are saying now. (And California has a lot of Republicans.) What counts is that middle third, the group that Hillary is already courting. If Democrats want to win, those are the voters that will decide the election.
Playing to the base, like Obama and Edwards are doing is a losing strategy.

Hillary will win and we'll all be better off for it.

As a (progressive) democrat, I will never vote for Clinton. Every single one of the other candidates excepting Obama, is a better choice. Most have more relevant experiences and resumes for the job of POTUS. In short, Hillary is a demagogue who proves time and again she is not a leader; a woman who's ambition for 20 years has been to be our chief executive, come hell, high water, or opponents. Everything she's done has been a calculation, not a desire to improve the country. And to top it off, if Clinton is the candidate, it will a golden time for the republicans. They will come out of their burrows to vote AGAINST her, if not FOR their own candidate. That's going to be too bad for America, since I and many others won't be tricked into voting for her as a defensive move. After this election, everyone will forget what a spoiler Nader was. All fingers will be pointing at Clinton.

I am very Progressive and will not support Hillary Clinton.
She accepts too much cash from the big money interests, she is too much into nanny state Anti-Freedom bills and she does not stick to any position.
Kucinich for President

Nothing Marc Cooper ever writes about Hillary Clinton should be taken seriously. When She annouced her run he told his blog readers that he "wished her a miserable experience", and he has over the years repeated much Republican balderdash concerning Democrates in general.

Does Clinton have a chance of winning in 08? It's a serious question, and one that should be considered. Marc Cooper is the last place to go...

While I don't plan on voting for her in the primary, I will vote for her if the rest of the country nominate her.

Of course I would vote for a houseplant before I would vote for ANY republican. So I guess I would be one of those who held their nose and voted for the party. To do otherwise risks getting another corrupt Republican for the next 4 years...

"48% of California voters have a favorable view of Clinton"

That is a heck of a lot better than Bush's poll numbers.
Last I checked, it takes 50% plus one to get elected, so what's the point?

Here is my take. She decided to "stand by her man" after he was literally caught with his pants down. If she were a shy, retiring person who was totally dependent on her husband, I could understand her decision to hang on. But here she is, an independent female ready to take on the world. The two images - the forgiving wife and the hardened politician - don't mesh. My bottom line is that I don't trust her.

Hillary =Lieberman with a fake laugh

Obama = Alan Keyes only taller

I haven't decided which Democrat I will vote for but one thing does seem clear to me. Hillary doesn't take a back seat to anyone and, sorry, but I think a lot of the crap I hear about Hillary being a negative for the dems is just that, crap. And, it is crap (much of it) that I hear from white males. God is must be awful to be so threatened by a female. She's not always right. And when she makes decisions she does her best to defend them. Do you see any of the rest of the candidates doing one thing differently than that? Give me a break!

Those who insist they will not vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances may want to consider the history of the 1968 election. Vice-president Hubert Humphrey was the Democratic candidate for president. He had angered many in the party for his support of the Viet Nam war. Along with millions of other Democrats, I refused to vote for him so I cast no ballot for president. The result? Richard Nixon was elected president.

The question in the election of 2008 will not be "Hillary, Yes or No?" The question will be "The Democrat or the Republican?" If Hillary gets the nomination, will we have an election such as 2000 when millions of liberal purists voted for Ralph Nader and tipped the election to George Bush?

biased huffpost writers take their directions from the jealous greek -arriana -be negative on Hillary

Shillary sucks!!!!!

Shillary is a plutocrat and would make a terrible president.

Shillary has been an enabler of the neocon madmen, she is pathetic.

She's coined a new slogan "the politics of piling on". Whiner. I say, as a woman myself, if you want to run with the boys, you have to play like one. You can't have it both ways, and if the rest of her campaign is going to be crying foul, I think she will dig herself a deeper and deeper hole. She thought it was going to be a cake-walk or coronation, and anytime someone dared to point out her failings, she could cry sexism. If she became the nominee, that's the sort of campaign she would run against the Republicans and lose. That's why they want her so badly.
