I don't doubt that she has many supporters; I do think her polling numbers are inflated at this early stage of the game because she is the well-known, annointed frontrunner, and there are too many good alternatives in this race for it not to tighten over time (at least that is my hope). Few people that I know are paying very close attention to the '08 campaign right now. They might be the sane ones.

The point of my response is that while she has made herself intellectually appealing to the right, they still hate her anyway. There's a healthy amount of irrationality in their response, but there it is.
