Where the greatest question she expected to face was about whether a figure as polarizing as she is could possibly be electable, it could now be whether she is polarizing enough to appeal to primary voters who are looking to express their own anger. Even the excitement factor - the prospect of being the first woman President - has been blunted by the fact that her leading challenger, Barack Obama, could be the first African-American one.
