Alegre tells us that Obama doesn't get it, but Hillary does. Boy, I'll say! Hillary gets it, but good, from CNN. So does McCain:
In a new Zogby poll Hillary Clinton ranks dead last among voters from both parties to be CIC. Zogby surveyed 753 registered voters, with 65% rating McCain most qualified to be CIC, 33% for Obama and an abysmal 2% for Clinton. The poll, jointly commissioned by Larry Flynt and Playgirl magazine, was not released to the media, but sources within the McCain campaign learned of it and, predictably, quickly spread the news.
Anonymous sources within the Clinton campaign were disconsolate, as Senator Clinton herself invented that threshold and made it the centerpiece of her campaign. Most observers, however, expressed little surprise at Clinton's poor showing. Zogby himself, when pressed for an explanation, demurred at first, but finally offered one possible factor: "Senator Clinton is, as has been widely reported, female. It is possible," Zogby continued, "that her reputation for being female seriously undercut voter confidence in her as `Cockhound in Chief.'" Clinton surrogates quickly denounced this as sexist and promised that the Senator herself would be delivering a major speech on the subject within days.
