It won't. It will exacerbate it.

All candidates want you to believe they are the best possible choice for the office they seek. They will tell you all the great things they have done and what they will do when elected. They do not tell you of there failures, ineffectiveness, lack of success, etc. Listening to them and believing them is the wrong way to make a decision. It is imperative you look back at their history. It is not likely they will change and what they did yesterday will be very similar to what you can expect tomorrow. In Hillary's case - I can not find where she has done much in the national interest in her year as a Senator. She makes a good speech but she has not done anything to correct the problems. Go further back in her past; before her accompanying tour in the White House while she was there as the first lady and before. Can you find anything that would lead you to believe she is the best choice for our next president? She was the first lady for eight years before Bush became President; maybe she lived in ignorance during that eight years but I would have thought she would understand Iraq and the terrorist situation far better than to vote for war (or was she one of the senators who did not read the intelligence report?)! She may be the best candidate; it depends on what you want and what you believe in. My list puts her behind several other candidates, democratic and republican. I do not vote by party but the person I think will best represent ALL of us!

Liberals: Want him to succeed because it verifies their view of things. If his Presidency is viewed as good, their positions look good. Conservatives: He espouses pretty much everything they DO NOT WANT to happen in government: more social services, government stepping in to business, taxing the wealthy, etc. Essentially he embodies the liberal position to them, therefore he is the enemy. Moderates & Independents: Are always a divided bunch, that why they're moderate, they fall to one side of the mid line on some things and the other on other issues. ALL: I do actually believe a small part may have to do with race, but it is a VERY small sliver of the whole pie.

No president can eliminating the divisiveness in our govt and country. We are no longer a United States, we are a divided union that will continue to split as more Hispanic, Muslim, and other third world immigrants come to our country both legally and illegally. No one can stop this tide. Eventually the US will become like Canada with an English speaking East and a Spanish speaking West. You can thank Ted Kennedy and the liberals for that.

Carl Rove is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing figures in modern American politics. Barring him and his backer Richard Mellon Scaife from politics will end Hillary's problem, since the very co-ordinated assault on them in the Arkansas project is what caused her problem.

I believe you meant she is bipolar. Recently, in regards to Bush pardoning Libby she said her husband never did anything which can be compared to that. Actually, here is her statement.
"Her husband's pardons, issued in the closing hours of his presidency, were simply routine exercise in the use of the pardon power, and none were aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy, she said"
How do you explain the pardon of Susan McDougal in which she went to jail to protect Bubba?
How you do explain the pardon of a family friend who Hilary's brother was paid to get pardoned? (Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory)
How do you explain his pardoning of his half brother?
I guess he has never misused his power as well? Like when the newly elected President Clinton used his office to force Hillary Clinton's thesis on how good socialism is to be hidden from public view. I guess that isn't abusing his power?

Why would anyone expect the divisiveness to end just because we elect someone only half the country likes?!

It will end only if the Congress is comfortabley in the control of Democrats. Right now it is nearly 50/50 in the Senate and only a slight margin in the House. Those margins need to increase. Neocons and their agenda must disappear through the public's refusal to reelect them. These are only a couple of ways it is going to happen. Time will tell.

In short, electing her will not happen. She is not the right person for the job and most of the USA knows it.

How is she any more polarizing than George W. Bush and Cheney?
