People shouldn’t kid themselves into thinking she can’t win. She can.

It’s really not that hard… all it will take is a reasonably strong 3rd party candidate. She’ll get 42% just for showing up. A third party candidate who comes out strong on immigration and right to life could easily get 10% of the vote. Especially since the MSM will give them a complete free pass because they know that’s what gets Hillary in.

I would say her chances in ’08 are at least 50-50… probably better.

If the majority of people vote for one conservative candidate or another, and the Republicans retain control of Congress, then if she wins she'd be a lame-duck President for her entire term. She wouldn't be able to claim a mandate, and Congress wouldn't give her an inch of slack.

You are correct, sad to say! With the majority of the MSM behind her (and saying absolutely nothing bad about her), plus the huge, huge amount of money that will fill her coffers, plus...

Oh, man! Republicans had better get busy fast! Just because WE can't fathom her winning the presidency doesn't mean it can't happen.

Hill has got a stranglehold on the dem. nomination, and they all know it. Everybody else is jockeying for the V.P. slot.
