Hillary Clinton remains the most formidable presidential nomination frontrunner for a non-incumbent in the modern era. As I wrote about last year, Clinton's combination of a number of factors made her strength pretty much unprecedented. Clinton has, if anything, become stronger over the last 12 months.
Clinton's polling among Democrats is still incredible. The latest Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey has her at 67% of the vote among Democrats nationally. That compares to 61% in December 2012. The fact that her numbers have if anything gone up is a very good sign for her. It shows that her numbers weren't merely inflated because she held the non-partisan secretary of state position, as they were for general election electorate.
Some might want to dismiss the predictiveness of early polling. Some may want to point to Clinton or Rudy Giuliani in 2008. The problem with that point of view in my opinion is that most early front-runners didn't put up anywhere near the same numbers Clinton is doing for 2016. Clinton was about 30pt lower in 2008 than she is now. Giuliani was about 35pt lower than Clinton now.
Other candidates too were simply not close. George W Bush was stuck in the mid 20s for the 2000 Republican nomination. His father was in the low 40s for 1988. Colin Powell was in the mid 20s and mid 30s for his 1996 and 2000 no-goes respectively. Bob Dole was in the high 30s for 1996....

It’s a sad fact that a woman who is as corrupt ,untruthful , and incompetent as this woman is as powerful as the article suggests.
It is a sorry recommendation for the Democrat party.
Benghazi.
Lest we forget, Hillary Clinton was destined to get elected to the White House in 2008. Something tells me, there’s going to be another surprise underdog get the Democratic Party nomination in 2016 and it could be somebody few people know about right now. Nonetheless, the GOP is in such disarray that Democrats could nominate Bugs Bunny and he would still win in a landslide. Hillary has created too many enemies and has betrayed too many Democrats, they won’t let her win the nomination.
The only candidate in my mind who could catch fire, Massachusetts' Senator Liz Warren, has already declared her support for Clinton. In fact, every single female Democratic senator is behind Clinton. What a difference that is from 2008.
Well, if Granny Warren, the fake Injun, says vote Hillary, then I guess she's the cat's meow.
Time to steamroller the cat with HillaryCare -> RomneyCare -> ObamaCare!

I think this article was originally published in 2006... Ha!
Don’t forget...Hillary is the world’s smartest woman, while Obama is the World’s smartest Negro.
My guess if that truly is what is ‘destined’ it will be a real black American - one that was actually born here, grew up here and was “down with the struggle.” I don’t know who that could be, but he/she had better get going.
I’m thinking it might be Wendy Davis in Texas.
Maybe, but it will be tough to overcome the “Abortion Barbie” moniker.
Democrats are pro-abortion anyway. If she wins the Texas governor’s race, she will get the Democrat nomination. Her poll numbers in Texas continue to rise. She appears to be the next Barack Obama. This sounds unpleasant but the fact is that GOP voters are stuck with Chris Christie as their nominee and he will do worse in the general election than McCain or Romney. It’s gonna take about 10 years before Republicans start to realize they should act with unity.

Wendy Davis won’t be the Texas Governor, not by a long shot.
The BUTCHER OF BENGAZI!
The Guardian is a far-left UK newspaper; nothing they say is to be taken as anything more than propaganda and disinformation.
Hey, when I see H. Clinton I think Benghazi too.
Just like she was in 2008.
Doubtful. obama had something against her in 2008. That can pop up again.
Looks like the lord himself is going to have to help save America from itself, and those who would venerate this cold venal incompetent greedy old woman
