In Defense of Hillary

[Akno21]

Everyone around her thinks that Hillary Clinton would get creamed should she get the DNC Nomination in 2008. However, wouldn't she have some huge advantages that other Democrats wouldn't have?

-A superior campaign team. Most likely, the Bill Clinton people would come back, and even GOPers who despised Clinton should admit that he surrounded himself with good people, in an electoral sense. Plus, I think Clinton himself would give a bit more detailed campaign advice to Hillary than he did to Kerry.

-Fundraising. Only Dean could match the fundraising she could do.

As much as she could fundraise, I just can't see her winning. I think there would be a barrier about 3 percentage points shy of a win. That's simply not good enough an outlook before the GOP attack dogs get their way.

But with the storied campaign team, she could [gasp] have her own attack dogs.
