I think a lot of the negativity comes from Republicans.  Sure there may be a few vocal Hillary haters and they do seem to come out of the woodwork in a competitive election like this, but I believe that a majority of Democrats (Obama supporters included) like Hillary.  I am an Obama supporter but I found it very difficult to choose between the two.  While she has her faults, Hillary and her husband have been champions of the Democratic Party and by and large, good leaders.  She will continue to lead even if she does not ultimately win this nomination.
