If she runs .. and I think she will ... she won't announce it till the last moment

I hope she does run, it will be a battle royal in the primaries. Some will back out, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Dean will not. He is already on record that he favors the of axing of McAuliffe. Dean feels he is so close to the nomination he can taste it. It will be a battle for the control of the Democrat Party. Once Hillary starts her smear campaign, there will be no holds barred. Dean will not take it sitting down. Hillary could even wind up losing, and make lots and lots of people, very, very happy!!

"The contest, again almost certainly, will be over by March 2 at the latest, and possibly as early as the end of January. California, New York, Texas, Ohio and eight smaller states will hold primary elections on Super-Super Tuesday that second day of March.

I think that too many pundits are assuming that the primaries will determine the nominee but with a large number of candidates running it is possible that no one candidate would garner a majority. Therefore, the nominee could be selected at the convention with the superdelegates holding the balance of power.
