"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

 Independents: Clinton unlikely to win us over
Politically, Carl McAloose is as close to a fence-sitter as they come. He helped vote Democrat Bill Clinton into the White House in the 1990s. Twice he backed Republican George Bush's candidacy. And while he follows the 2008 race closely, he says he has no idea which party he'll support.But McAloose is sure of one thing: He can't stand the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Politically, Carl McAloose is as close to a fence-sitter as they come. He helped vote Democrat Bill Clinton into the White House in the 1990s. Twice he backed Republican George Bush's candidacy. And while he follows the 2008 race closely, he says he has no idea which party he'll support.But McAloose is sure of one thing: He can't stand the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency.''I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if my life depended on it,'' said McAloose, a health care executive from West Brunswick Township in Schuylkill County.McAloose represents Clinton's Achilles' heel.Republicans' contempt for the former first lady is well-documented: More than three in four Republicans regularly tell pollsters they view her unfavorably. What could play an even greater role in the race should she emerge as the Democratic nominee is Clinton's standing among those who consider themselves political independents.Nationwide, no candidate among the Republican and Democratic front-runners besides Mitt Romney receives worse ratings among independent voters who offer an opinion, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll.Nearly half of independent voters (47 percent) who express an opinion view the New York senator unfavorably, the August poll showed.In Pennsylvania, a key swing state, Clinton is the most disliked presidential hopeful among independents, with an equal percentage of voters (47 percent) saying they don't like her, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released last week.It's unclear exactly why Romney does so poorly -- half say they like him, half don't -- among independents nationwide who expressed an opinion in the Pew poll. The upside for him: Four in 10 voters say they can't rate him yet. Clinton doesn't have that luxury. Almost all independents polled -- 95 percent -- have formed an opinion of her.''The warning signs are there that if she is not able to do better among independents than it looks like she might do right now, that it could be a problem,'' said Scott Keeter, director of survey research for the Pew Research Center.
