This is nothing revolutionary, this is reality. Clinton as a moderate Southern Democrat could pick up Southern states, the increasingly Democratic NE and West Coast, the Rust Belt and with the weird voting that year, places like Montana.

Kind of cute that Snowstalker talks about the broken two-party system, when if the Democrats want to play seriously in Appalachia again, they'll have to shift hard to the centre, and try to appeal to an electorate that has actually gotten appreciably more conservative over the last 20 years, not just the parties shifting away from the centre.

Despite valiant cries from the leftists here, Hillary is very much a mainstream progressive, which means her base is nowhere near as broad as her Husbands, but she does have the capacity to retain the 2012 Obama map and play with the margins and make a serious play in some states that Obama just couldn't work in or had drifted away.

Whatever you may say about her, Hillary Clinton is not (and never will be) a 'southern Democrat'.  Don't confuse her with her husband who actually has southern roots -and an accent to match.   

Um... if that's in reference to me, I was talking about her husband.
