Hillary Edges Out Oprah as Most Admired Woman in ‘07

[wyldwolf]

These results are based on the Dec. 14-16 USA Today/Gallup poll, which asked Americans, without prompting, to say what man and woman "living today in any part of the world, do they admire most?" Gallup has asked the most admired man and woman questions in this format in all but two years since 1948.

Clinton, who has been named most admired both as first lady and as senator, could become the first female president to win the distinction. If she were to win the 2008 presidential election, she would be only the second person to be elected president after being named most admired. Dwight Eisenhower was most admired man in 1950 and was elected president in 1952.

5. Aside from the fact that this is the umpteenth time this has been posted

anyone who believes this crap from Gallup actually reflects reality is the quitessential sucker.

Yet another reason to be embarrassed about the country where I was born.

9. Same people who Admire Bush Most also Admire Hillary Most? I don't think I'd be proud of this one.

Just points out that they're two sides of the same coin.

11. yeah, pretty much

it's good to see so many people prostrating themselves for her though.

[KennedyGuy]

17. an Obama supporter..talking about prostrating themselves for a candidate?

Now I HAVE heard everything...
Guess thats not the same as the messianic worship of Obama...

[Tellurian]

16. That is good and to add a little word here: SYMBOLIC

When HRC wins the nomination too many republican strategists are girding up for the wrong fight. Republicans are acting and talking and putting out talking points that HRC is too polarizing and making folks believe it will be Leona Hemlsey, the notorious Queen of Mean they will be running against instead of Hillary Rodham Clinton......Folks believe me before this election is over, HRC's candidacy will have more in common with Amelia Earhart's first trans atlantic flight or Sally K Ride's first trip into space than Helmsley's heartlessness.....

Many in here that support obama and edwards have bought into the rights spin and believe HRC will be beat and also they believe if she wins the nomination she will be a loser. FOLKS, far from it because you and the right fail to grasp the crucial role that SYMBOLISM plays in politics. Once HRC is the nominee HRC's bid to be the FIRST EVER WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and believe you me, IT IS A DAMN BIG DEAL, and it will ver shadow every other issue and image as the campaign goes forth.

It is so damn curious that so many in here that enjoy posting polls that show HRC's negatives OVERLOOK that fact that HRC's negatives are clustered mainly among republicans and republican leaning independents whoa re unlikely to vote for her in any circumstance. Over a two year( Aug 05 -Aug 07) period Gallup reported that among "pure independents" HRC had a 46% favorable rating and 43% unfavorable and 12% no opinion. Looking at this would believe it was too close to call but here is the kicker......but RIPE FOR SYMBOLIC EXPLOITATION.....

19. No surprise here, Hillary won as she has done for 12 years!!!

The only exception was in 1997 when she came in second to Laura Bush.
