It looks like Hillary Clinton may be memorialized akin to Ronald Reagan
She's getting a portion of the electorate named after her. Way to go, Hillary! Hang in there! :applause: You've come a long way, baby!
Analysis: 'Hillary Democrats' could be up for grabs

By NEDRA PICKLER – 4 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — With the racially tinged Democratic race drawing to an awkward close, Barack Obama and John McCain face the challenge of winning over "Hillary Democrats" — the white, working-class voters who favored the former first lady over Obama's historic candidacy.

Obama and McCain clearly have set their sights on each other, a recognition of the long odds Clinton faces in trying to capture the Democratic presidential nomination. The McCain campaign figures some of her supporters might be up for grabs and won't necessarily vote Democratic in the general election in November.

"I've been saying for a year that you never count a Clinton out, but now people are laughing at me so I guess I've got to stop," McCain strategist Charlie Black said Friday. "But if you look at the blue-collar Democratic votes that Mrs. Clinton's been getting and then look at their opinions of Obama in these public polls, there's clearly an opportunity for McCain."

Clinton won more than two-thirds of the white voters without college degrees in the last three primaries — Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana — according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks. When those Clinton supporters were asked who they would vote for in an Obama-McCain matchup, just fewer than half said they would support Obama. Three in 10 said they would vote for McCain and the rest said they wouldn't vote for either.

1. Yep
She helped to make more people homeless in Iraq with her IWR vote. Just like Reagan did in the 80's to America.

5. Reality: Limbaugh Republicans are her key demo of late
Without that 5-7%, she doesn't win ten states overall.

6. I will never vote for McCain.
I love Hillary and I think that she is the best person for the job. I am a Democrat and will proudly vote for Obama if he is the nominee.
