Poll: No Group Wishes Hillary Won in '08

YouGov does a form of polling, not exactly random sampling but maybe interesting anyway if not necessarily predictive of the population at large. They asked their panel the following question:
Do you wish Hillary Clinton had been elected president instead of Barack Obama in 2008?
Their results are counterintuitive, both Democrats and Republicans answered "No." Forty-nine percent of Republicans answered "No," 59% of Democrats answered the same.

Are we sure she will be her party's nominee two years from now? Presumably Democrats felt answering "Yes" was disloyal, I get that.

What I don't get is why Republicans are glad Obama is president instead of Clinton? Is it because his weirdness makes him easier to demonize than the Pants Suit Diva?

Are Republicans unready for a woman as president? Or is the thought of ol' horny Bill back in the White House, reminiscing about where Monica L. knelt in her blue dress, and sneaking around to meet his current main squeeze just too much to stomach?
