It's going to be Hillary. Richardson might be no. 2 on the ticket, but Hillary will be 1. And the polls have her winning at this point, beating all the Republicans.
Of course, there are 3 years to go before it matters, but looking at the cast of potential candidates, I am worried that we're going to end up with Hillary.
She's going to demogogue medicare and social security. All she's gotta do is take Fla., and win the states that Kerry won. Any state that'd vote for Kerry would certainly vote for Hillary. And since I'm in Orlando, I can tell you that winning Florida is very doable for Hillary, if she demogogues medicare and social security.
I can name about 5 states that Kerry won that Hillary would probably lose.
She swings a few of them blue states back in play, and there is a better chance that she would swing texas then there is of her winning Florida.
Next to Janet Reno, Hillary is the 2nd most hated woman in the democratic party with cubans there.
Even some of the more liberal cubans loathe her.
