I'm going to hand everybody in America a shovel and we're going to start digging our way out.-Sen. Hillary Clinton (Democrat-NY), her party's leading candidate for the presidential nomination, during a speech to the Communication Workers of America yesterday, on how she'd tackle the Bush mess.
Hear, hear! It's going to take all of us, in one form or another, big or small, to dig us out of the tremendous mess in which President Bush has buried us. But with each passing day I doubt a little bit more whether Sen. Clinton is the one who can lead the charge.
A new Harris Poll finds that 50% of Americans would not vote for Clinton if she is the Democratic presidential nominee in 2008. FIFTY PERCENT! Only 36% say they would vote for her. More over, 21% of Democrats say they would not vote for her. Those kind of numbers lead to 49-state defeats in the Electoral College, Senator! As such, those kind of numbers should lead one to re-think whether their candidacy is worth the risk.
The way things stand right now, 2008 should find the Democrats steamrolling over the Republicans. And - again, the way things stand right now - Americans don't seem to think Ms. Clinton is that Democrat. Please Senator, for the sake of not only the party but our nation, re-think your candidacy.
