More Iffy News for Hillary
According to a recent poll, two thirds of respondents think Hillary Clinton will run for president in 2008, but only one third of those think she will win.
In the same poll, nearly 80 percent don't think Condoleezza Rice would win either. However, the article fails to say how many respondents would vote for her. (Condi keeps saying she won't run, while Hillary is "just concentrating" on her run for Senate, not actually saying "no.")
Of course, Hillary leads the pack when it comes to Democrats, but just look at who she's up against, with only Al Gore, John Edwards and John Kerry breaking double digits.
So it seems that the TV show Commander in Chief (currently on hiatus and a poor ratings victim) isn't exactly preparing the electorate for a woman president, as 27 percent said they wouldn't vote for a woman no matter what. Frankly, it annoys me that so many people factor in a candidate's sex rather than whether or not he or she is right for the job.
To me, it's the individual.
