Democrats around the country want a person they can get behind but unfortunately they don't have one. So in the absence of a real leader they are about to get stuck with a lame horse, one Mrs. Hillary Clinton.

Many believe that name recognition alone is going to do the trick. Yet others believe it is her bed fellow (at least some nights) that is going to be her ticket in, yet others are counting on some phantom womens movement where by all the women in America will snap up this chance to place a woman, any woman into the White House.

You might want to stop believing your own hype. This crazy woman can not win election on a national scale mostly because unlike New York, most people don't like her. The woman has a better than 50% disapproval rating and she isn't making things any better for herself with lack luster debate performances like the one the other night when she got slammed by her own adherents for committing the mother of all flip-flops.

The woman has name recognition, I'll give her that. but even with the likability that her husband had with those on the left, her husband still could never muster 50% of the vote and neither will his wife. Former President Clinton had likability that Hillary does not have, even scandal plagued as he was. He also had some political savvy which his wife lacks.

Then there is the so called experience she has. Doing what exactly, sitting in the Senate, big damn deal. Ted Kennedy has been there for more than 44 years and he could never make a serious run at the Presidency because people think of Congressmen and Senators as do nothing people.

Between her lack of warmth and her husbands over use of his personal warmth most Americans are ready for someone other than another Clinton in the office.

Then there are those who believe that Hillary can win because the GOP may well fracture over their choice of non-conservative options in Nov. '08. This would be a possibility with Obama or Edwards because most don't think they can win anyway. But a non-conservative GOP nominee vs. Hillary will be a big enough driving force to keep the GOP from fracturing into two parties.  Evangelicals will do just about anything to keep this chick out of the White House.

And where oh where are these women they keep talking about. A bit insulting if you ask me to think that women would just vote based on her status as a woman than about the issues. Makes women seem a bit dim witted, like maybe they shouldn't be voting at all.

her issues are also off the beaten track. Socialized medicine is falling apart in England and she wants to introduce it here, in a country where 70% of those with health insurance like both their carrier and the service they provide. We already have a socialized system for people who lack coverage. Medicare is their so called crowning achievement.

Her attitude, that she is somehow in line and has paid her dues is a bit offensive to Democrats also.

In the end Hillary will most likely cause a GOP win in the White House but it won't be much of one because most of the leaders in the field are damn near as liberal as she is and none of then are conservative. Be real, Obama or Edwards would more likely cause a rift in the GOP because many think they are less of a threat and many within the GOP would be willing to risk a split to gain a true conservative in office.

And as I mentioned above, scandals and Clinton go together. There was Bill's dealing with the Chinese and now there is the growing Hillary scandal with the Chinese and money. Her support of illegal's drivers licenses in New York will back fire soon too.

All in all, she's a loser in this race despite what the GOP does.

But what would I know; I'm just an Average American.
