173. To be honest
The only place I've heard ANY support for HC is here on this forum. I have yet to meet anyone out in the world that suppports her for Prez. I don't hate her, like many here would like to think. I honestly don't think she has a prayer to win. Remember, going into 04, Joementum was in the lead before the primaries.

The counts against her:
She supports a widely unpopular war and voted to give * the authority to wage it.
She is universally unpopular among Rethugs, even those that may vote for some other Democratic candidate.
She has not led any initiatives as a Senator. Unless you count her getting on her pulpit against video games. Now that's a real barn burner.
She is in bed with the DLC, meaning that she cares more about wealthy donors than working people.
She cares more about what AIPAC thinks than what WE THE PEOPLE think.
The punditocracy keeps pushing her down our throats. That smells extremely fishy to me.

There are many better candidates than her, ones without nearly the amount of baggage.

If anyone can come up with some real positives that would convince me that she would be the best chance at the presidency, I'm all ears.
