2008 U.S. Democratic Presidential Nomination

[Alcon]

This topic most definitely makes baby Jesus cry.

I know that using Newsmax as a source of anything credible is a faux pas, but this is really the only web site I could find a reference to this poll on. To wit:

51% of Americans will not, under any circumstance, vote for Hillary Clinton

This is before the inevitable smear campaigns that turned a candidate like John Kerry from a respectable, albeit all-too-liberal, Vietnam vet into a thoroughly mediocre candidate.

Hillary Clinton cannot win. It's not that the nation isn't necessarily ready for a female president, but the first female president will probably be a Republican. The voting public just sees a candidate like Hillary Clinton as a patronising attempt to get the woman vote - something which, in truth, she may very well be.

John Kerry is done for. He is even less popular than during the 2004 election, and now that he will be facing a candidate who will not be terribly unpopular among independents, he would be crushed. The same goes for Al Gore, who has turned into everyone's crazy uncle.

Mark Warner, on the other hand, is a fiscally moderate Virginia Governor with approval ratings over 70% in a fairly Republican state. He did great things for the economy. He may not be terribly exciting, but he's sensible enough and, unlike several other people on this list, his career isn't over.

The problem with Clark, by the way, is that he lacks any experience whatsoever and is very much prone to verbal gaffes that reveal that he doesn't really know all that much about politics.
