THROWING AWAY A FORTUNE IN FEELINGS:

'Thermometer' finds voters cool to Hillary (Donald Lambro, September 16, 2007, Washington Times)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has the highest negative ratings of any presidential candidate in the 2008 race, can add another voter designation to her image: the coldest.

The Gallup Poll recently asked voters to rank the candidates on a "feeling thermometer," in which zero was the coldest and 100 was the warmest. The New York senator and Democratic front-runner was the "most polarized" of all the candidates in either party, according to the poll.

"Nearly as many Americans say she leaves them cold as say they feel warmly about her," Gallup said.

The '08 race looks eerily like '88.
