I don't think she could win the presidency. Her demeanor and manner are too cold. And she doesn't have much sense of humor.
Her voice also is not warm.
The so-called undecided or independent voters cast their ballots for someone with warmth, humor, someone they can feel comfortable about.
Hillary is actually a great person, but she just does not have the personality to win a presidential election. Gore barely did (although he won the popular vote). Kerry, one of my favorites, did not have it either.
Obama has it. He gives the impression that he is confident but not over-confident. He has charisma because he is genuinely loving and compassionate.
Hillary is kind and competent, but she lacks the charisma because she just doesn't love everybody she meets. It isn't a fault of character. It is simply her nature.
Now Bill Clinton -- there is an outgoing person who wins you over right away.
I have been watching elections for a long time. Hillary would probably do a good, maybe even a great, job as president, but she does not have the kind of personality that wins elections.
