12. I don't know one republican woman who will vote for her
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 09:12 AM by midlife_mo_Jo
Although I know republican men and women who plan on voting for Obama and Edwards if they ever get the chance in a primary. (I live in a repub county, and was once repub myself. :) ) They hate the war, and hate how Bush has embarrassed us globally.

However, if she gets the nomination, I don't know that any of these men and women are going to vote for her in the general election. They will have to believe that she's going to get us out of this war and restore some honor to the presidency, and I'm not sure that people believe that strongly enough to SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE and switch sides. A few care about the health care issue, but it's not yet resonating "that much" here, and Hillary is not too strong in that department. This is a wealthy county where people think they will always have a good job and health insurance.
