WHO'S UNELECTABLE?

We have friends -- really, a few -- who say Sen. Hillary Clinton can't win because she's "unelectable" (conveniently overlooking the fact that she's been elected, twice, to the U.S. Senate). They say she's too polarizing, too harsh, too strong.

But right now she's the most-electable Democrat running for president, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research poll. And three Republicans carry more negative impact with registered voters:
Would Definitely Vote Against That Candidate in November

Romney 62%
Giuliani 55%
Huckabee 52%
Clinton 43%
McCain 43%
Obama 38%

Would Definitely Vote For That Candidate in November

Clinton 37%
Obama 30%
McCain 22%
Giuliani 19%
Huckabee 15%
Romney 13%
In head-to-head match-ups, Clinton and Barack Obama beat any Republican presidential candidate.
