"...so why are conservatives bellying up to her? Do they think she is the nominee they want because she can be beaten in the general election?" In a word: YES. (Any pol with 'negatives' as high as their 'positives' in the polling, and who is also an extremely well-known quantity with the public - so it becomes harder to change people's attitudes, because they are already fairly well set - has difficulties that can be exploited in an election.) With negatives that high, moving even 3% or so of the public over to the 'negative' side would likely be enough to prevail.
