CORALVILLE, Iowa - It was a blunt question for Hillary Rodham Clinton at the end of a long campaign day. A young man said he knew a lot of people who just didn't like her, and he wanted to know what she could do about it.
"It goes straight to the perception that she is cold, calculating and devoid of human warmth," said Dennis Goldford, professor of political science at Drake University in Des Moines. "Many Democrats either believe those things are true or they know people who believe them to be true, and that speaks to concerns about her electability."

Because thankfully, Hillary is the master of her own portrait and her paint is cracked and dried.

I think emotions get in the way when you are training. You need to be able to distance yourself from the dog, view him/her objectively, and respond in a rational way. You cant be angry, impatient or too sympathetic and still be a good trainer (or teacher for that matter). Other than that, emote away :o) I have had foster dogs with whom I felt VERY discouraged. But I tuck that feeling away, go think for a while, maybe throw my problem out to other people to get different ideas, and then just try something else. So far every dog I have had has come around to the point where he/she can go live in a new home and function. I feel a sense of accomplishment and joy when that happens :o) I think kids and dogs are quite different. You can reason with a kid, and a kid, ultimately, has to learn to make his own decisions and become independent. A dog will never reach that point. But both kids and dogs need structure, consistency, discipline and affection. (If I were walking my dog and his head and tail went down, I would assume he is trying to pick up the scent of a rabbit. :o))

Yet she continues to lead by double digits in all national polls among Democratic voters. I guess they might feel as I do. I don't care if she feels warm and fuzzy to me, I care that she's got what it takes to clean up Bush's mess. I don't care if she's got a backbone of steel and a hard calculating mind - wait, I do care, that could come in handy while being President. I don't have to want to have a heart to heart with her, I just need to know that she'll be an excellent and very competent President, and I do believe that. Right now I'll put my fond hope aside that she and my lady's group can get together and flaunt our femininity more than our brains. She might be a bit too busy for that for the next few years.

Wild you would bring this up as they had a poll on CNN or Fox, but legit from someone. It was about who you hated the most. Hillary cam in first at 44%, then Rudy at, I think it was 27%, then about six of the other candidates on both sides. I do have to agree with the lady's answer as no matter how she acted they will turn it, like the rest. She does seem to catch more heck or maybe not as the others in the lead have been catching heck. Take care.

It appears that those perceptions are actually felt, she is the one that is giving off these bad vibes as one would say....she was raised in a family that was not much on "feelings, warmth and compassion." So as she traveled through the 60's and married a man that only treated her like a doormat, she made a pack with the devil...as long as she would get what she wanted (the presidency of the USA) she would endure anything..............and she has...People that is just what most of us, realize-- that this in an unholy alliance and we should be exstreamly concerned about it.

Because it is repeated so often in questions like this, and because she has a naturally stand-offish personality. In judging the candidates of both parties, we should look to their deeds and their policies as well as at their apparent public personality.

Have you not seen her? Just listen to her speeches. That is why. She cares only about number one, and that is it. She will change positions daily if it means she can be elected. She is dangerous.

She is a woman running for president. Imagine what her critics would be saying if she was warm and fuzzy. Of course they would say - she's too compassionate to be the commander in chief.....she lacks strength and is behaving like a den mother. Let's face it - no matter how she acts, there will be criticism. After all - a stage of men defeated by a woman would be such an ego blow, they have to go after her at every turn. And they will.
