High-profile Democrats are jumping on the “Ready for Hillary” bandwagon, supporting Clinton for president before she even enters the race -- boosting her presumptive candidacy and potentially their own political fortunes.

Horse hockey; the only headlines I keep seeing are for Warren. Faux News is only saying this because they’re, I’m sure, Murdoch-ing behind a Bush/Clinton ticket. No, I’m not kidding.

In a primary, Warren would make Hillary a moderate by contrast, even though she is not. Of course, Obama really didn’t misrepresent himself....he ran as a lib and won.

Somehow the prospect of Secretary of Defense Al Franken does not inspire confidence.

The latest poll of registered Democrats shows Clinton with a 47 point lead on her nearest rival for the nomination, Joe Biden.

I see a Clinton/Warren Democrat ticket.
Women were 53% of the electorate in 2012 and Dems love symbolism.

They’d anointed Obama by this time in 2007. Hillary and Edwards were still battling it out (Edwards may have even become Obama’s running mate if his infidelity hadn’t been exposed).
