The search for America's most confused voters Noah Millman offers an anecdote: So my liberal Democrat mother-in-law gets to the polling place planning to vote for Hillary Clinton, and discovers that, unbeknownst to her, she has been a registered Republican for the last 40 years. New York being a closed primary state, she dutifully goes into a Republican booth. All she knows is that she can’t stand John McCain. So she votes for . . . Mike Huckabee, with whom she disagrees about pretty much absolutely everything. Puts those mysterious Florida Buchanan voters from 2000 into perspective. To which a commenter replies: Sorry, Florida voters are still the dumbest in the United States. Our local Supervisor of Elections received a flood of calls yesterday from people wondering where to vote. The Supervisor of Elections had to inform each caller that our primary was back in January, and that it was a good thing they didn’t get a chance to vote. meganmcardle.theatlantic.com

Maybe I wasn't clear, but yes, that is what I think-the presence of those negatives is affecting her already, just within her own party, so it has to be considered going forward. It's going to get much worse in a general election. I've been reading how the Rep want her rather than Obama on the ballot, the theory being she will motivate their voters to get to the polls because of how much more negatively they feel about her than Obama.
