Ezra Klein makes a good point about Hillary Clinton's "negatives," which are a key reason some people think she can't win the Presidency. Yes, she's a polarizing figure. Yes, there are a lot of people out there who really, really hate her. But the way politics works these days, that's going to be true of anyone with a good shot at winning. No matter who gets the nomination, the opposition will be out there — on both sides of the aisle — demonizing and SwiftBoating and giving out reasons to loathe the candidate. I don't particularly think Senator Clinton is anyone's best choice but at least she comes pre-slimed.
