Cyrus O'Miley could give Hill a good run

April 1 was yesterday. Time to stop being ironically stupid.

Huh. So is it finally over? Is Hillary left without threats at last?

Granted, Warren was her biggest thread, but with her out of the picture, anti-Clinton Dems will have to turn to someone else. Or embrace her.

O'Malley will likely wind up consolidating most of the anti-Hillary vote, but it won't be enough.

Denial was inevitable with such a poor choice.

I don't think so. When you take Warren out of the mix, Hillary tends to be pretty solid with about 2/3 of the vote. Taking her out actually improves Hillary's numbers, so they're definitely not "anti-Hillary." As for the rest that remains, you've got O'Malley, Webb, and Sanders. Sanders seems to have the easiest niche to claim the anti-Hillary vote because the activists love him and he draws a clear contrast. He's the candidate who particularly caucus goers are going to be motivated for, not a bland guy like O'Malley or a dinosaur like Webb. O'Malley's position as "mainstream liberal" has already been boxed out because most of those people are already with Hillary. For instance, there's not very many people who think Hillary is too far right but are scared of Sanders because he's a socialist. Webb may be able to claim what little remains of the right flank of the Democratic Party, but that obviously won't get him very far, particularly when you consider the primary calendar.

I'm starting to think we might have a Hilary-Warren pact for 2016. Its not a bad ticket; has moderate appeal on top and liberal appeal all around.

Clinton /=/ Moderate. She's more or less the typical mainstream democrat. Her excellent primary polling is not because she's moderate, but instead because of:

1. She's female
2. She's had essentially 100% name recognition since the 1990s
3. She came really close in 2008
4. She polls better than Biden in the GE.

No Warren is great news for America.  We don't need a hardcore progressive running the ship.  We've got one now and it's not working too well.  America really needs a Repub to take control and implement conservative policies and nominate conservative SCJ's.

That's ridic....O'Malley is to the right of Hillary,  it's the people to the left of Hillary that would be the anti-Hillary vote, like Obama was.
