Hillary v. Condi
January 26, 2006 | By Charmaine Yoest
Gallup has just released a poll on how many registered voters would vote for Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice.
From Waco Kid
Bad news for Hill's juggernaut: a solid 51% of voters "definitely" would not vote for her. The graph at the right shows the breakdown by party affiliation.
The numbers for Clinton don't surprise me. What does surprise are the high negatives for Condi Rice: 46% of voters would definitely not vote for her.
If you factor in the margin of error -- +/- 3, then you have nearly a dead heat between these two.

Comments
I'm a Republican and Condi would not be my first choice, however, I think two different factors are driving these negatives:
1. Hillary's are driven by what people know about her and don't like.
2. Condi's are driven by what people don't know about her and concern about being untested, etc.
The Condi negative numbers could be improved. Hillary's are very hard to alter.

those are also mythical numbers. as if there were no opponent.
standing in the voting booth, you're going to press the red or the blue button.

Um, Rice has been in the national spotlight for over five years -- and you think people don't know enough about her? Doubt it.
It's much more likely that America has watched her performance -- shilling for non-existent WMDs in Iraq, claiming that 'nobody could have known bin Laden would attack the US' after her own office recieved a report in the July 2001 titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside US" -- and doesn't need to see one more episode of The Condoleezza Show.
