66. Therefore, more Democrats prefer her over the other candidates.
There have been national polls showing Hillary besting one or more of the Repub candidates. That shows that country-wide, many people are preferring her.

Now, polls will show other Dem. candidates besting this or that Repub from time to time, also.

But my point is...it is simply not true that "most Independents" and "a large chunk" of Dems don't want to vote for her. The polls indicate the exact opposite.

It's sort of like a friend of mine, who keeps saying that people will not vote for an African American? I tell him...well, SOME people won't, for sure. But the money and the supporters indicate, ipso facto, that MOST people who would vote for a Dem. in the first place are very willing to vote for Obama. He is, after all, leading MOST of the white male candidates. So it's simply not true that Obama's race will hold him back. SOME won't vote for him for that reason...but SOME won't vote for a woman...and SOME won't vote for an elderly person (McCain)....and SOME won't vote for a Mormon.....and SOME won't vote for a minister....and SOME won't vote for a little guy with a high pitched voice. There is something about most of the candidates that SOME people won't vote for. Big deal.

Disclaimer: I am not supporting any one particular candidate at this time. When I do...it's not likely to be Hillary. But I hate to see this unfairness toward her. If someone points out a negative, the positive should also be pointed out, IMO. And only someone with blinders on would think that she doesn't have HUGE support in the country.
