Is Hillary overrated?

[Alcon]

When Bobby Jindal (who is of Native American origins) ran for Louisiana Governor as a Republican, he substantially over polled.  There was an interesting study done afterwards that compared where he underperformed relative to what you would expect a GOP candidate to get, and it correlated - to an almost scary degree - to where David Duke got support in his assorted runs for various offices.

A lot of rednecks told the pollsters they were voting for Jindal, but then either stayed home or voted for the "white women" over the "indian" when they got to the ballot box.

i thought Jindal was from India, not a native American -at least that was my impression. 

Born and raised in Baton Rouge Louisiana according to his website..

But you may be right anyway...

His parents were from India; he's not Native American, per Wikipedia.

Hillary had the name recognition advntage no question about that in 2000.  However she is also MUCH MORE popular in NY right now than she was in 2000 & as polls indicate also more popular on a national level than she was then

I was in NY (Long Island actually) last weekend, and I floated her name a few times just to get a reaction.  Almost everyone around me stated that they did not like her.  Of course, those in my presence were either military or police, so it's not a surprise that they do not support her.  I'll be up there again in September and will try again.
