Hillary Clinton's Negatives May Drive Republicans to Vote

Steven Tyler
With mounted debate and negative opinions about her continuing to grow, Hillary Clinton may actually drive Republicans that normally would not vote out on Election Day to vote against her.

When you hear Hillary Clinton's name, the whole county is divided. Just about everyone has an opinion about her. She is very respected, but also a very feared individual. As the 2008 elections near, she has her own Democratic Party very eerie if she becomes their candidate, and also has many Republicans that would normally not vote next year since they do not have any strong candidates actually go out and vote against her even if they do not like the Republican Candidate.

So what are the Democrats worried about? They know that the Clinton's name have been around for generations now and many people have very divided and separated opinions about the Clinton's. These opinions will hurt the Democrats because if Hilary Clinton is their candidate, many people may vote against the Democratic Party. Many Democratic candidates in recent interviews would also only talk about Clinton if it would be held anonymous. Most supported Clinton in the presidential race and admired her, but also held a certain private fear about her.

And haven't you heard the other candidates attacking Hilary Clinton more than any other candidate? In all of their campaigns and commercials running, they always find one way or another to attack Clinton, their biggest threat, using the primary fact that she "voted in support of the Iraq war," and now changed her views about it. Clinton has definitely spilled a bit of worry into her competition.

This controversy is also growing more and more as Hilary's percentage rate for her winning in the election has been increasing. According to a new poll, which I also have an article on, Hillary Clinton is up 18 percentage points to her nearest Democratic rival Obama. This is a huge step forward for her in stepping up in her campaign. But will her polarizing status stop her from becoming president?

According to a new Gallup poll, the nation is really split at this moment. 49 percent of people polled feel that she is an unfavorable candidate in the race, where are 47 percent of people polled favor her in their election. So it is a complete division.

This will definitely be an election to play close attention to. The real question is whether Americans are ready for change. Will they elect the first woman president or the first non-white president, both on the Democratic party, or will stubborn Americans go out to vote for Republicans because they are afraid of this change? Come on America, we need change!
