50% of Americans Would Not Vote For Hillary According to New Poll

The results of the latest Zogby poll are exactly why I just can’t get behind a Hillary ticket in 2008. According to the poll roughly half of all registered voters surveyed say they could never vote for Hillary. Does that mean Hillary is a bad person? Nope, she is just a potential problem for a Democratic ticket.

As most of my friends know, I support Barak Obama in the primaries. The reasons are many but the top one is his electability. I feel Obama has the charisma to inspire people and give our country hope at a time when a lot of people have lost that valuable commodity. After the 8 years of George Bush, we desperately need a person who inspires hope for our country and a better tomorrow.

Additionally, on the scale of who you would never vote for as president, Obama came in at 37% and it this case it puts him near the lead for people likely to garner votes. Check out the poll numbers and consider the problems ahead. A Democratic victory is not a sure thing and with Hillary as the candidate a GOP contender could campaign on “I’m not Hillary” as a platform and do well. I would rather see someone who could use that tactic for the Dems but their motto would be “I’m not Bush”.
