After One Year of Trying to Prove She Wasn't "Divisive", Hillary Reinforces That Image.
Advertisements [?]
There was a fleeting moment when Hillary Clinton had begun to get her consistent high negatives with the American people closer to 40% and down from the once over 50% which would doom any chance she might have to win the election in 2008. That fleeting moment is now gone.

The Clinton antics which led to her campaign manager in New Hampshire resigning in disgrace and the never ending nastiness that just keeps surfacing has finally reached critical mass. That "divisive image" that the American people had sensed about her has now set like concrete. And it will be the very thing that ends her life time ambition once and for all.

The last thing that Hillary needed was to remind voters of what it was that never liked about her: she's a divisive person.

Meanwhile, every poll shows Barack Obama with favorability ratings almost up to 80%. And while I know her loyal supporters will try to gloss that over, try to diminish what that really means when it comes to elections, I know that there are some of her supporters who are cringing at what she has done in the last week.

Maybe she just can't help it. Maybe it's not her campaign staffers, after all. Maybe it's not just Mark Penn and Terry McAuliff giving her bad advice. Maybe this is really the true Hillary Clinton that I had refused to see all these many years: the one that nearly half of the country always saw.

Well, the tears were nice until they were followed by the nastiness that followed.

We've moved from tears to jeers in just days.

The next favorability polls will prove me right.

She is turning people off in droves.

Democrats really need to take a pause and think about how badly she will be defeated in November if we nominate her. Why?

There are simply too many Americans that really despise her, and rightly or wrongly, I am convinced that it is insurmountable at this late point.

Buyers beware.
