"My own personal bias is there is still a lot of political baggage left from her husband. If I saw her name (on the November ballot) I wouldn't vote for her. I think the general public who don't follow the issues but vote for the person are going to look at her entire history, which isn't too good, and she may pay for her husband's mistakes." Cheryl Klemmer, registered nurse, Oshkosh

"I'm more of a conspiracy theorist so I think the media is playing her up as the front-runner, and you'll see who really is the front-runner when people go to the polls. I don't think that America is ready for another Clinton in the White House to be honest. I don't think any of the candidates have been that impressive so far so I don't think there's any front-runner at this point." Mia Spooner, business analyst, Chicago

"I have mixed feelings on that. I think she has a lot of supporters out there, but there are a lot of people who would never want her in office. I think she could do a lot of good things, but I'm still on the edge whether to support her or not. I think people have a hard time with the idea of a powerful woman. There are a lot of Republicans who wouldn't want a woman in office." Jenny Gehn, student, Coloma

"She's not my No. 1 candidate. She's my No. 2 choice as I like Barack Obama better, but I tend to agree that Hillary will be the Democrat candidate and that she'll be a good choice. She has the experience of not only being first lady but as a senator too. I think she's a smart lady. I also think that most of the people will think she can do the job and vote for her." Bob Soldner, manager, Madison

"I think she probably would be, but I think Barack Obama and John Edwards are going to be very close. I think the baggage she brings with her is the universal health care coverage she proposed (when Bill Clinton was president) and I think Edwards has a better universal health care plan than Hillary, which could affect the outcome of the election." Nancy Wanek, nurse, Madison

"You either like her or you don't. There's no middle ground with Hillary, and that leaves the Republicans with some room to take her on. ... She's been waffling on Iraq ... but regardless of the status of the war in Iraq at the time of the elections, when people go into the booth they will be thinking of what candidate can best protect them against terrorism, and I think in that sense Hillary may be in a weak position unless she changes some minds." Gerald Boyle, vocational consultant, DeForest

"I think Hillary has too much baggage coming in to this to appeal to the whole nation. That doesn't say she wouldn't be the most electable because that depends on who the Republicans run. I think Hillary has too many negatives from her past related to health care, the scandals her husband was involved in, that will adversely affect the voters' opinions of her in the next election." Troy Meyer, economic support supervisor, Janesville
