In a flowing, gushy editorial, disguised as a story, AP writer Marc Humbert proves he really knows nothing about Hillary, nor about the poll that said only 16% of people would vote for her. Entitled Clinton Campaign Ready For More Then 2006, Humbert slops the praise on.
 Six years after battling her way to a Senate seat from her newly adopted state by campaigning night and day, Hillary Rodham Clinton is coasting toward re-election — and piling up money that could go toward a run for the White House in 2008.
 Today, she visits small pharmacies and talks about the problems with the Medicare drug plan. She lingers for autographs and photos. There is no real hurry.
 (Chuck) D’Amato offered another theory: “A great deal of the hostility toward her has abated.”
 “Because he’s so conservative, it allows her to stay in the middle,” said Hank Sheinkopf, who worked on President Clinton‘s 1996 campaign. “Effectively, he shows up and she becomes a centrist. She couldn’t have asked for someone better.”
Barf. However, the whole centrist thing is what kills her with the radical left. The blogosphere’s number one Leftwing kook site, the Daily Kos, is dead set against her and the DLC, which put Clinton in office (along with Ross Perot running). What Kos says, virtually every other lefty on the internet says.
She also, as the story reports, has no real opposition. Come 2008, if she wants to run, she will be eaten alive by the Moonbat candidates, as well as the GOP, if she makes it through the primaries to emerge as the candidate. And, only 33% of those polled think she can win. You would think that Mr. Humbert would remember that fact, considering he wrote the article back on 2/22/06.
 Thirty-six percent of voters said they liked Clinton more than they did two years ago, but 33 percent said they liked her less.
So much for the gushy, flowing opinion piece.
Hillary has the same trouble that all the other ‘centrist’ candidates will have, as Mr. Teach so rightly points out. Namely, she’ll have to kowtow to the radical hate-america left in order to get through the primary, and in so doing, the whole ‘centrist’ BS will evaporate. Don’t you love how the AP uses a value-laden term like ‘centrist’ in a news piece? they don’t even nod toward objectivity any longer.
