I think Clinton would be a tougher match up for her.

How so?

Hillary's been on the national stage for two decades, and is well past her "sell by" date. She never earned her position in politics on her own merits, but rode Bubba's coat tails the whole way. What has she ever accomplished that could hold a candle to Sarah Palin's resume?

Where is the coast to coast grass roots support for Hillary? Sarah Palin is the titular head of an historic, citizen insurgency, in the Tea Parties. What's Hillary Clinton leading? The (non-existent) Coffee Party???

One last thing. If Hillary is the Democrat nominee in 2012, blacks will stay home. They're not going to accept any reason for Obama not seeking a second term. Not even The One will be able to convince them that he's stepping aside for the good of the party. They're going to believe that the Clintons pushed him out of the way.

There’s another possibility: Obama/Hillary 2012. The PUMA’s will unite with all the other democrats.

Hey, I’m a Palin backer and I think she could beat Hill or Barry. You’re right about blacks staying home, but otherwise Hill can wrap herself in the experience mantle, has the Ivy degree and upper-middle mannerisms and would likewise be the first female president. Probably most important of all, she’s not Barry and compared to Barry too many people consider her to be moderate. She could get away with positioning herself between Barry and Sarah politically. The lack of enthusiasm among blacks, however, could be a killer.
