Hillary has everything that Bill had.
But Hillary isn't Bill. She has everything to push her up front, but once she's up front and in the spotlight, then what?
She isn't a great speaker. She's shrill. She screams. And she won't be able to think quick on her feet.

And she has enough liabilities that will keep the opposition around long enough to keep chipping at her. She will implode.

She might get it, but it's far from a sure thing. "Her turn" isn't good enough. She has nothing to offer, and the protective curtain that she's been hiding behind will finally come off. She'll have to avoid debates with everybody at all costs, but she won't be able to.

If you watched any of the debates with Lazio or Spencer, HiIllary can handle herself in a debate. She is a policy wonk who can command the "facts" when needed. She also has the experienced political handlers who will control her image. You can bet she won't be shrill and scream.

And she has enough liabilities that will keep the opposition around long enough to keep chipping at her. She will implode.

That is not going to happen in the Dem primaries. They are not going to go after one another hammer and tong. It will be kid glove treatment. They will not want to give the Reps any ammo for the general election. The 2004 Dem primary was pretty tame.

She will get the Dem nomination because she has the political machine behind her. I don't underestimate her ability to handle herself in the debates. If the Reps are waiting for her to self-destruct, we are barking up the wrong tree. We need to go after her. Bush and Rove were afraid to go after Kerry and it almost cost us the election and we would have without the intervention of the Swiftees. Hillary will be a formidable candidate and she will have a fawning MSM behind her.
