So, Obama has Reggie Love, his 'bodyman' and Hillary had Huma, her 'bodywoman'. Rotten tomatoes are definitely being thrown Hillary's way these days .... the foundation's ills, Huma, etc. She's not 'inevitable' or a 'shoe-in' by any means. The Obama thug machine is going to support Biden, not Hillary (IMO) .... somebody is trying to kick her cankles out from under her early in the process.
I repeat...IMHO, the headline is very strong in its implication...first, the use of the word “close” is very suggestive..and second...phrasing it as a question, with the “?” at the end...that’s an open invitation to speculation..
Try SHOO-IN. As in shooing chickens....or a group of children, to move them in a desired direction.
My guess is that the nomination will not go to either Hillary or Biden, but someone relatively unknown like Bill Clinton was in ‘92 or Barak Obama was in 2008.
The Democrat electorate falls in love on the first date. Old politicians - even theirs - are fodder for late night comedians. My guess is the MSM will carry Hillary a few rounds, but ultimately she’ll bow out earlier than she did in ‘08.
