I guess what happened was once they were in there Hillary hoovered up all the top secret dirt on people she could hide and as Rush said ended up with the testicles of a lot of powerful individuals in an iron clad lock box. Especially as SoS. They HAD to give her the nomination. She PWN3D that party. I read an essay once that analyzed like a million odd elections and determined that in politics, likability trumps money. The more attractive candidate usually wins, despite facing $$ challenges. Can’t think of the name of those counter-intuitive financial author guys.

You got her number.

If American Girl-Hitler didn't have dirty politics, she'd have no politics at all.

Freakanomics (Levitt & Dubner 2005) explores this concept with some real good data. The book has other counter intuitive conclusions that data say are wrong. The guys that wrote the book are very brave men.
