I don't know a single person that likes her. Who are her supporters? What is her appeal? Are these poll rigged? They have to be rigged. I just don't get it. How is she beating Edwards, Obama, and Richardson, let alone she is number one? By a lot? I don't get it.

Evidently there are plenty of people who like her. There are a lot of people on Y/A who like her. Some of her supporters (you asked) are the first responders to 9/11 because she helped to get health care for them. They are on TV all the time speaking on her behalf. She won the Senate race in New York handily and no one thought she would. Therefore, she must get a lot of silent vote. And she is not beating Obama in Iowa. She also has a lot of money to run on and a lot of people are donating to her campaign, so those people must like her. No, the polls are not rigged and although they are accurate a lot, a few times they are wrong. I think she appeals to a lot of the middle class because they have always been the biggest tax base and she wants to tax the rich more instead of breaking the backs of the middle class. She is also liked by the poor as she wants to narrow the gaps between the classes. She's big on education. I don't know that I will vote for her in the Primary, but if she is the Democrat nominee then I will vote for her. I like her stand on stem cell research. I have a paralyzed son ( Iraq) and that is the issue closest to my heart. I hope I have answered all your questions. I tried.

The media likes her. Edwards is about to overtake her. In Iowa, Obama and Edwards are almost winning. Edwards is on top with the regular voters. Edwards, Obama, and Richardson are increasing popularity while Clinton is decreasing. The really odd thing is that most of the people who support Clinton think she is a liar.

1. ALL polls are rigged.
2. NONE of her opponents for the Democrat party nomination are any better.
3. Herr lead is getting smaller. Last I heard Hillary and Obama were in a statistical tie in some states.

Here's a typical question:
"Would you like Hillary Clinton to save the world, or do you want Obama or Edwards just to mess it up worse?"
Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. The Media want Hillary, so they'll word questions in a way that makes her sound better, and to skew the polls.

A lot of media coverage is one of the reasons. While personally I know of no one that likes Hillary, or plans to vote for her, I do see signs around town supporting her. It only makes sense that you hang around people with the same point of view as yourself. So none of your friends would be for her.

The polls show different things. They show her leading amoung Dems.
Yet in the General election she loses and Edwards and Obama are leading.

The media spends the most time talking about clinton. So when the stupid and uninformed are asked about it they reply with whatever candidate they can remember. Since clinton is the most talked about she is remembered for the polls as well.
Fortunately the stupid and uninformed often don't get up off of the couches to vote. So we are safe.

I think that the polls are rigged. Quite frankly, I don't care if she gets the nomination and would actually like it. She would be easier to beat than Obama. Oh, and a woman president wouldn't be bad, just not a liberal one like her.

She may be leading in the Democratic polls, but I don't think she has a chance in the national election. I don't understand her or the democratic party. I can't understand the hatred those people have for anything that is out of their party. The older I get, the less I understand. I just wish they would work for the betterment of this nation instead of for the advancement of the democrats.
