Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says her political negatives are a "blessing."

Speaking at a house party in Concord, N.H, the Democratic front-runner for the 2008 presidential nomination said she's been in the spotlight for so long that there's nothing left for her opponents to dig up and smear her with.

"The tactics... will be to drive up the negatives of whoever our nominee is, and it will all be fresh information," said Clinton, according to the Boston Globe. "It will all be, 'Oh you didn't know? Let us tell you. Let us paint a caricature...' Whereas I have the somewhat mixed, but I think rather fortunate blessing, of already starting with those negatives."

Considering that almost half of Americans say that they would NEVER vote for Hillary, I seriously doubt that her negatives are really a positive.

She essentially has to get 100% of the vote of people who say they might consider voting for her to win. And we all know the smear campaigns haven't really started yet.
