The men’s online magazine G2 has an article entitled, “Why the Democrats Woujld be Crazy to Run Hillary.”

And why is that?

She’s not likeable.

An excerpt:
As a result, the Democrats would be crazy to run Hillary Clinton. The main reason can be summed up in one word: Likeability.

There are few living politicians who are as well liked by the general populace as John McCain. Being a war hero, who had to undergo God knows what in a POW prison camp, turned moderate politician, will do that for you.

Obama is also a well liked politician, which probably has something to do with the fact that he’s still so new on the scene that he hasn’t given us much to dislike (although, admittedly, the opposite argument could also be lodged). Clinton, on the other hand, is so polarizing, and so ferociously disliked by a certain segment of the population that she could be seen as the polar opposite of Obama and McCain. However, the reasons why Obama would make for a smarter general election candidate don’t stop there.
