Poll: Hillary Clinton, Condi Rice top picks of who would make a “good president”
Clinton is the only one who garners a positive response from a majority of voters. The new poll, released Wednesday, finds 55 percent think she would be a good president, up from 50 percent who thought so in 2006.
For Rice, 43 percent of voters say she would be good. That’s down from 47 percent when the question was last asked in 2006.
Clinton and Rice are followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (37 percent), Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (37 percent) and Vice President Joe Biden (35 percent).

I dont even think American’s know who Rice is anymore. That’s how much this favorability stuff is bull 4 years out. It doesnt hurt but it’s not much.

The American people must live in a fog bank. She accomplished nothing as a senator and nothing as Secretary of State (other than getting 4 people killed, which most Americans know nothing about) and these people couldn’t cite one thing she’s ever done, yet they’re convinced she’d make a good President.
Bitter Clinger on February 14, 2013 at 1:08 PM
Why? She has zero accomplishments and a hundred screw-ups.
Funny way of measuring success.

1. See that most Americans are so stupid they don’t know Condi Rice from Susan Rice
2. ?????
3. Oh f-

“Success” ceased to be a metric of picking U.S. Presidents quite some time ago. Benghazi, Wikileaks, and the reset are nothing compared to being the right gender and having the right husband.

Polling the low-information voter. Always good for a few laughs — until they elect an unqualified idiot that runs the country into the ground. But they like him/her, so “No problem.”

Cause she is there without actually being there. She hasnt really done anything or got media attention or had to take a stand on anything so her numbers being high arent surprising. They’ll come down a bit if she does run
Flapjackmaka on February 14, 2013 at 1:19 PM
That’s what they used to say about the possibility of a black president…

Once you exclude the William Ayers, Van Jones, and the like, you’ve probably got about 300 million people (yes, including the 3 year olds) who would do a better job than the clown that is in there now.

apples to oranges. Blacks have a lower rate of running for positions then women. And that isnt what they used to say with black people.
Flapjackmaka on February 14, 2013 at 1:21 PM
That is not what the question asks.
besser tot als rot on February 14, 2013 at 1:21 PM
I think we need to vote a woman in, because it’s about time, right? Now that we’ve got a black dude, it’s definitely time for a chick.
That’s all that matters, by the way.

Because nobody has ever said “Bradley Effect” or “Wilder Effect.”

Well the voters did vote for bill/bho two times and they are worthless slug slimes so why not have the stupid vote for hill another slug slime?
I really have no use for hill or condi. I did like condi, but who knows what party she is?

It’s exactly what it asks. Who would make a good president? Two women yet I refuse to believe they’d win easily. The same thing happened in 2008 against Obama in the primaries
Flapjackmaka on February 14, 2013 at 1:29 PM
I think you’ve nailed a campaign slogan there that will appeal to the zombie voters.
Copyright it, now!
fogw on February 14, 2013 at 1:30 PM
Asking “who would make a good president” is not the same as asking “would you vote for X” or “would you vote for X over Y.” Those do not mean the same thing. Not even close.
besser tot als rot on February 14, 2013 at 1:31 PM
That’s a good point. And considering what we have now, the bar is so low that we could probably get a solid chunk to claim a toaster would be a decent leader.
Toaster ’16… no experience here either, but at least warm buttery toast!
Gingotts on February 14, 2013 at 1:38 PM
It’s not the same as water into wine, or even lowering the sea levels, but turning bread into toast is still pretty special. More impressive than the results of obozo’s community organizing.

Gotta check those boxes on America’s bucket list. After that, La Raza. After that, LGBTXYZPDQ. After that, a mella yella. Lastly, let the Red Man get ahead, man. Sorry, Lizard People, no shirt, no shoes, NO DICE.

Condi’s out. We already checked the black box. That leaves Mister Ed Hillary, Willlllbuuuurrrrr. She gets a mulligan for being the first black co-president from 1992-2000.
Christien on February 14, 2013 at 2:11 PM
Both would make for good (for nothing) presidents.

So cute to see all of the seminar Kos Kids and Huffers and DUmmies posting at the Faux News link. To wit:
Minds are terrible things to waste, unless one doesn’t have one to begin with…
