Barnes: “Whether we like it or not, [Sen. Clinton is] a polarizing figure and I think she’d have a very difficult time being elected and governing."

Tom Crawford writes in Georgia Trend:

[Former governor Roy Barnes and former lieutenant governor Mark Taylor -- both backers of former Sen. John Edwards -- say Sen. Hillary Clinton's] nomination would be harmful to Democrats in down-ticket races. “With Senator Clinton, it is very difficult for somebody with such high negatives to be elected,” Barnes said at a news conference with Taylor. “Whether we like it or not, she’s a polarizing figure and I think she’d have a very difficult time being elected and governing.” Taylor said, “I am not OK with a president that cannot bring this country together. We need a president that can unite this country.”
