"Why am I wrong?"
Hillary is loathed more widely than the writer credits, and this loathing is now spreading into the Left, which has the option to cast a protest vote with Nader.
Also, McCain is going to make a strong appeal to those just left of center. He's already started this with his forgotten-things trip.
His party's Right has always accused him of being a closet Democrat, something I sincerely doubt, but I think he will be able to do a credible job of posing himself as a touch left of center on some issues.
At the same time, Hillary is terribly vulnerable with the background she has. Obama has been reluctant to bring such things up, but the Republicans sure won't, and they have a warehouse full of material to draw on.
Further still, while it is difficult for a man to treat a woman in public the way Hillary treats Obama, after sinking as low as she has, it will be far easier. Anyway, the Republicans are expert at innuendo and using stand-ins, as Hillary should know from the 1990s.
And no matter what some may say, I do believe in American-style campaigns, which are little more than duopoly advertising campaigns, that the unpleasant aspects of Hillary's persona will feature heavily.
She does have a voice that resembles finger-nails scratching a blackboard. She does say some surprisingly absurd things at times. She does make some genuinely goofy faces which have been captured by cameras.
And she has the burden of Bill. Who wants that creature stalking around the corridors of power again? Remember, even nice guy Al Gore blamed Bill Clinton for his 2000 defeat, reportedly in an ugly scene.
Lastly, Mr. Rove’s recent comments on the Democrats do tell us whom the Republicans view as the weaker candidate, and it ain’t Obama.
That is, unless Hillary keeps tossing crap the way she did in Pennsylvania.
