A new Zogby poll asked likely voters the question, whom would you NEVER vote for for President? It's not surprising that Governor Richardson was the most acceptable candidate of either party. Only 34% said they would NOT vote for Richardson. That is in stark contrast to the 50% who responded that they would NEVER vote for New York Senator Hillary Clinton. She's joined by Senator Mike Gravel and Congressman Kucinich at the top of the list of candidates unacceptable to the American electorate.
If the leading Democratic candidate can't even get a majority of Americans to vote for her, shouldn't we be looking somewhere else? A 49% victory doesn't give us the strong Democratic mandate we'll need to repair the damage of the Bush administration. We can't afford another razor thin election; we deserve a crushing victory over the GOP.
