Earlier I wrote about the odds of hillary clinton being elected. I thought that she would, because many of my peers think her being a woman is enough. A CNN poll disagrees:

Regarding potential Democratic candidates, 47 percent of respondents said they would “definitely not vote for” both Clinton, the junior senator from New York who is running for re-election this year, and Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, the party’s candidate in 2004.

This poll is silly for one particular historical reason:

Among all choices, Clinton had the highest positive number; of those polled, 22 percent said they would “definitely vote for” her.

Remember folks that Bill Clinton won with less than 50% of the vote both times. If the republicans put up a Bob Dole against Hillary Clinton, a Clinton II is not so hard to believe.
