Dukakis is right about lining up those precincts, however precincts are not going to fall in line if Hillary Clinton is is the democratic nominee. It's not just because of some vague notion that she can't win because of negative perceptions that are really never identified. It's because of real concerns about trusting her to end the war in Iraq and bring all the troops home. She might bring most of the troops home but she would leave a residual force in Iraq to train the untrainable--Iraqi Security. Then she would label those troops something other than combat troops when in fact these troops would be fighting for their lives every day. We'd have to then send back all the troops sent home to protect them. In fact, she's already said Bush's surge is working, which should pop a red flag to anyone who was considering voting for her. Hillary supported this war for years and just when she announced her candidacy for the presidency she all of a sudden became a beacon for ending the war. Political winds make up her conscience. That's not someone you can trust. No wonder Hillary hasn't apologized for her vote to give Bush a gun so he could pull the trigger on Iraq. She feels she has nothing to apologize for.
Trust too was an issue with her husband. Bill Clinton spoke of woman's rights and then gave us Monica Lewinsky and talked about equal oportunity for gays and then gave us not only Don't Ask, Don't Tell but The Defense of Marriage Act.
A lot of people may still go to the polls and vote for Hillary Clinton but they won't work for her campaign.
