False. She's the favorite to win the Democratic nomination, not the general election. I'd bet the house on that proposition (except I live in an apartment.)

Look again.

She's the fave to win the Dem nomination.

The Dems are favored to win the presidential election.

Ergo.

As I have said here many, many times, I don't think Hillary Clinton will be nominated in 2008. But on the off chance she is, I'd be okay with it. Few candidates are more beatable. Remember the mind-set of the liberals in 2004. They LOVED Howard Dean, but when the rubber met the road, they were afraid to nominate him. They didn't think he was electable. They thought a long-time senator with a military record (*snarf*) was a safer, more electable choice. Kerry, in comparison to Dean, had "gravitas." (I know, it's ridiculous, but we're in the liberal mind now.)

Hillary Clinton, after all, is a one-term senator (who may not even win a second term), a woman, a politician with connections to a president that really stank, a politician with all sorts of nasty trash stuck to her shoes and trailing out of her @$$. As bad as the Dems are when it comes to nominations---ie, Dukakis, McGovern, Mondale, Gore---I don't believe they will ever stoop as low as to anoint Hillary Clinton. I probably won't live to see it, but I'm living for the day I can crow "I told you so," because I'm very sure of this. She hasn't a snowball of a chance.
