The Hillary We Already Know


It’s really sad when you have to devote an entire campaign to convincing people that you are likable [1].  Forget the issues.  Issues aren’t important.  Whether or not people like you … now THAT’S important.  Well Hillary’s campaign is trying to make her appear to be warm and fuzzy, rather than the cold person whom we all “perceive.”

That’s Boortz, yesterday morning. [2]

Limbaugh, this afternoon:

Now, no issues, not ideas, not the greatness of America, not freedoms, not the future of the country.  No, the Clinton campaign is totally oriented to getting people to think that Hillary is not the cold stone person that we all know she is.

But as Limbaugh points out,

That is the mode of operandi that the campaign is in today, and it will change tomorrow if this is deemed not to be working.  Now, the Washington Times has a report today of a Rasmussen poll. “Forty percent of Americans say they would vote to keep Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from winning the presidency, more than twice the total for their No. 2 ‘anti-‘ pick,” which happens to be Rudy. “In a new Fox 5-The Washington Times-Rasmussen Reports survey, 64 percent of Republicans, 42 percent of third-party or independent voters, and 17 percent of Democrats said the candidate they most want to keep from the White House is Mrs. Clinton.” Seventeen percent of Democrats! “‘Hillary Clinton is better known than any [other] presidential candidate on either side. She has a lot of people who love her and a lot of people who hate her,’ said Scott Rasmussen, who conducted the poll. … Mr. Rasmussen said the rest of the field is steadily catching up to Mrs. Clinton when voters are asked in other polls whether they support or oppose a particular candidate, rather than asked whom they most oppose among all the candidates. By that measure, each of the candidates is now opposed by at least 30 percent and most now draw more than 40 percent opposition, he said.”

But when you ask it by name, Hillary runs away with it.  She leads in the anti-vote.  Her negatives are pretty high.  It’s going to be interesting to see.  That’s polarization.  We in talk radio like that kind of number, but presidential candidates do not get elected with numbers like that.

Boortz pretty much in the same vein with a different poll:

hillary-clinton-large-10.jpg [3]While her campaign is trying to just get people to like her (not to mention her left-wing policies) 50 percent of America says that it will absolutely not vote for her.  This figure is large compared to Obama and Edwards with numbers in the 30s.  She has also been voted “least friendly” in a recent Pew Research poll.


A top Hillary strategist says, “It’s important for people to understand the depth of Hillary, the way she has helped people.”

Based on the polling data, I’m inclined to believe that the American people already know her depth… or more correctly, her total lack of it.
