There’s opposition to a candidate’s politics and then there’s opposition to the candidate’s persona.
Regardless of how fair it is, the reason H. Clinton draws the level of opposition she does is because she is widely perceived by many on the right as being dishonest and hypocritical – more so than even most other polticians. There are a lot of people who believe that the only true allegience she has is to gaining office and wielding power. Everything else is for sale.
I don’t think its any exagerration to say that she is the only candidate who will prompt an increase in the number of voters who participate in the General Election. Even among an apathetic elctorage, she is the only candidate that some voters will go out of their way to vote against, and that has little to do with her voting record as a Senator.
No matter what, California’s electoral votes will all go to whichever of the two candidates the Democratic Party puts forth. We just had all the say we’re going have in this election last week when we voted in the primaries.
