There's one other data point worth mentioning from that Washington Post/ABC News poll. Much is often made of the percentage of voters who say they would never vote for Hillary Clinton — and, I'd say, rightly so.
Well, get a load of the number of people in the Post poll who say they wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney: 54% (question 44), on third of them Republicans. That's the highest reading among any of the top-tier candidates in either party. Mrs. Clinton, by comparison, registers a measly 45%.
Also tipping the scales in the "definitely would not" weigh-in is John McCain, at 47%. That's a tremendous change from a year ago, when only 28% of voters said the same of him.
