Building the Beast That Devours You II
It shouldn't be a big surprise that Hillary Clinton received the highest percentage of those who would "definitely not" vote for her compared to the rest of her presidential rivals, Democrat or Republican.
Senator Clinton is a divisive figure, and long has been. That's no doubt part of her problem, and ironically, a lot of voter fatigue with the prospect of her candidacy, may be the result of the way the Democrats have chosen to go after President Bush. As I noted here, the left has waged a long political battle of attrition against the President, challenging everything he does, and attributing only the worst motives to him.
The Dems have refused to rebuke even the most out of control, reckless rhetoric (Teddy Kennedy comes to mind), hoping to harness grass-roots anger on the left for their own purposes. It's tiresome, not only to Republicans, but to the great mass of Americans who really don't like the kind of ugliness that they've witnessed being directed at President Bush.
People are tired of polarization, as President Bush himself was aware in 2000. They're even more tired of it now. And that's one more good reason that the Democrats have only themselves to thank for strengthening peoples' determination not to support the polarizing Mrs. Clinton. Oh, in addition to the fact that the left think's she's too much of a hawk. And that the American people don't resonate with inauthenticity.
