This looks like a new Harris Poll. It was conducted through the 12th of June, thus I think its the newest one. I apologize if this has been posted already.

I wouldn't put too much into these polls. I think the real race begins in the Fall and that is when they will be a better indicator of the Dem political state.

5. Have more free time now that my grad school's semester is over
Just because you don't like the results of the poll, you come attacking me?

I brought up the Whitewater incident to show it is hypocritical to attack Obama for non-criminal wrongdoings with Rezko when Clintons were involved in a sketchy real estate deal themselves with Whitewater.

2. I hope the Hillarians realize that
that 36% of dems is stuck in granite. AND that 90% of the GOP and 80% of the moderates will never vote for her. including 50% of the democrats.

my issues with Hillary are personal, professional, social, economic, and ethical. on each score she fails, and on some, pretty badly.

6. Then I recommend that you NEVER vote for her.
However, since there are more Democrats than any other party, if she wins the nomination, it doesn't matter a damn if NO Republican votes for her, as long as our votes are counted.

Your math sucks, btw.

7. Hillary is hard to accept
Given all the history of the Clinton administration, and all the slime that will be hurled, it is hard to get excited about Hillary. She alone, among the candidates, shows some fortitude in dealing with terrorism seriously.

No one advocating unconditional withdrawal without regard for the serious consequences that could result if the islamic terrorist movement succeeds in its goal, is likely to get elected, and Hillary understands this.

Democrats must be strong on national defense or we lose. Hillary's acumen and experience are difficult to deny. She is not my first choice, but she will probably be our only choice.

10. The shiny clean well-examined Clinton admin history, you mean?
If Hillary is the Democratic nominee, she damn well will be our only choice. Until then, we vote for whatever reason we personally choose. And my reason will never be what is acceptable to OTHER people.

13. Hillary's dealing with terrorism is limited to bombing Iran and staying in Iraq
and, like most of the rest of the Democratic field, her Middle East policy consists of enabling Israel and screwing the Palestinians.

8. so does Hillary, as a candidate.
I wish her nothing good. She would be a disaster as the nominee.

Obama, with all his growing Rezko warts would be far better, as would Richardson and Edwards. Hell, Kucinich would be great. But not Hillary. Never.
