Any other Democrats anxious about Hillary?

Secondly, her negatives are deep. The people who dislike her really dislike her. Her positives, on the other hand, are not so deep. Besides a few people such as IceSpear, myself, and maybe a couple others, not many people will passionately defend her, but there are a lot of lukewarm supporters. I think this is a negative dynamic, because the more people research her, the more general opinion will be driven by those with strong opinions. I don't think many of the people who hate her can be convinced to stop hating her, but she's going to have to gin up her positives and get a critical mass of more than just lukewarm supporters. Yech.

There are quite a few people who really like her.  About half of the Democratic party is firmly on her side if the 2008 primaries are any indication.

A big chunk of her 2008 support was only there because she was running against a black guy.

Until then, I see her as liable to going the way of Al Gore, killed by "inevitability" and perceived pretentiousness. Heck Bernie Sanders and O'Malley may as well be the next Bill Bradley.

Actually Gore was trailing by double digits for much of 1998 and 1999, and he ended up with the most votes. In June 1999, Fox had a poll with Bush up 60-28.

Hillary is more like Bush than like Gore in that scenario. The inevitable candidate the whole party coalesces around with high ratings who stumbles out of the gate.

On the other hand, Bush was extremely likable whereas Hillary Clinton is about as likable as Richard Nixon, so it's hardly a perfect fit
