What is hillarys number 1 democratic target?

[MODU]

I say PA.  It's too close to being Republican, and she'd need to strengthen the base if a PA or mid-Atlantic Republican runs against her.

[MODU]

Hillary is considerably to the right of Kerry, and is no doubt a better candidate in terms of personality, leadership, and all that sort of nonsense.

Her position on a line scale doesn't mean she's more likely to be elected.  Too many people hate or distrust her . . . even if she was a Conservative.   

[MODU]

Well, I think the people who hate or distrust her are the sort who never vote anything but Republican.  Certainly she'll get Kerry's percentage, at the very least.

Not necessarily, since some of those who voted for Kerry were more voting against Bush.  In 2008, it would be a fresh start, and the election will be based on the candidates running (one thing which I tried to address on the 100% voter turnout thread).  You have to take into account Republicans who did not vote for Bush, Democratic men who do not want a woman President, Anti-feminists, et al into the equation.
