The Democrats have a real problem. Hillary knows what she is doing. Look at the resent polls. A CNN poll had only 16 percent of registered voters saying they would definitely vote for her for president. An additional 32 percent said they would consider her. Now translate that into how many democrats would vote for her in the primary. She is not doing well with the base.

None of the so called leading Democratic Candidates are. None are doing well with the Democratic base. She has to go radical left to have any hopes of getting the nomination. The truth is the Democratic base loves Dean. She has to roar almost as loud as he does.

Hillary hopes to get the base's support in time to go back to playing moderate before the 2008 election. Fat chance!!

I pretty much agree with you. I will note, however, how close Gore and Kerry came to winning. Closer than either candidate deserved, given what lousy human being and candidates they were.

Hillary isn't playing it smart right now, but she isn't dumb, and we're giving her free advice with columns like the one we're posting on :-)
