However, the country has had 15 years to form their opinion of HRC, and no amount of money or time is going to appreciably change their perception.<BR/><BR/>Her negatives are greater now than Bush's were in 2004. She might take the nomination, but I simply see no way she wins a general election.Centrist Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412223627851388638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595996759970178408.post-19740547119229957192007-03-28T16:35:00.000-05:002007-03-28T16:35:00.000-05:00Randall, I agree that the Harris numbers don't loo...Randall, I agree that the Harris numbers don't look promising, but don't underestimate Hillary.
