Polarizing Express

The article I found in LA Times dealt with how people are beginning to see Hillary Clinton. People have been poking fun at Hillary. Is it the way she is running he campaign? One remark was about how she is going to run this country was about, “

If you’re more sartorially oriented, grab the ‘No Way in Hellary’ shirt,
tastefully emblazoned with a red sketch of Clinton flicking out her forked
tongue” (Klein).

Some people are beginning to believe that her way is wrong now, relating her to a devil. If you follow her, its like following the devil, made by some critics. On the other side of the spectrum on that same place where they were selling those shirts there were ones that

“declares you a member of ‘Team Hillary’, complete with a membership logo etched
in a calming, light-blue script” (Klein).

By looking at this, there is a sense of a polarizing effect now. No one is beginning to stay in the gray area or lean Hillary or not lean Hillary. As the caucuses draw near people’s view on certain candidates are starting to blossom. You can’t just stay in the middle hoping that you’ll decide the best candidate when time comes. According to the last five USA Today/Gallup polls she

“has a 50.4% favorable rating and a 46.6% unfavorable rating compared to Obama’s
53.8% favorable and 30.2% unfavorable” (Klein).

With Hillary, it’s actually questionable now on if she should become the next president or the best possible democratic candidate for president. In my opinion, in the long run the polarizing effect on her is going to hurt her in the future because you don’t have all or some just leaning to one side. She has about half and half leaning against her and with her. She needs to do something drastic in order for her relieve this polarizing effect because Obama has caught up with her in polls. I believe right now, Obama has the upper hand now going as the underdog.
