She's done a lot of favors customerserviceguy Aug 2014 #22

That doesn't explain why she's so popular with progressive voters in NYC and state. n/t pnwmom Aug 2014 #24

She ran two campaigns in NY State customerserviceguy Aug 2014 #25

Polls across the country put her popularity close to 80% with Democratic voters. pnwmom Aug 2014 #26

Maybe "she did favors" for all 80% percent of them./NT DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2014 #44

polls kcjohn1 Aug 2014 #27

No. It's shows he's a winner, at least on the field he chooses to play on./NT DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2014 #45

" Ice Queen" sufrommich Aug 2014 #42

In the case of Hillary gyroscope Aug 2014 #48

Obama barely beat her in 2008 and he proved to be quite electable. She is not unbeatable but pampango Aug 2014 #43

"Ice Queen" sounds kind of sexist to me. /NT DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2014 #46
