Columnist: Nearly Half of Dems ‘Hate’ Hillary News Max ^ \| September 3 \| Staff Posted on 09/03/2006 10:12:23 AM PDT by yoe The Democrats’ chances of retaking the White House are doomed if they nominate Hillary Clinton in 2008, according to Boston Herald Business Columnist Brett Arends. Several weeks ago Arends reported that 45 percent of Democrats in New Hampshire were telling focus groups “they hate her. Hate.” Among the words used to describe Clinton were “evil” and “diabolical.” “These people will not vote for her in a general election,” Arends writes. “So you’d think the party would be throwing itself, right now, into a relentless quest for a more viable alternative... “Instead the party establishment is pouring its time, money and effort into launching the USS Hillary – even though the ship is leaving port already holed below the waterline.” The likely outcome, according to the columnist, is “a sudden, panicked reappraisal early in 2008, and a backup nominee picked in haste. As they did last time.” Arends adds that considering the problems besetting the Republican administration – including the war in Iraq, the deficits and fuel prices – “you’d expect the opposition to be at 65 percent in the polls and heading for a landslide. “Instead, there is still a real chance the GOP will keep one or even both houses of Congress this fall – and the White House in two years’ time.”
