Clinton WILL NOT win the nomination.  Maybe in the dreams of some liberal feminist hippie, but certainly not in reality.  I would think that the voters in the Democratic primaries wouldn't be that stupid.

Disagree. This party has nominated 1 President in the past quarter of a century. "Smart" and "Democratic Primary Voter" are mutually exclusive terms.

Clinton has the money and her husband, who is rather popular among Democrats. She'll be able to rack up superdelegates easily and should win enough states to win the nomination. Unless Clinton manages to drastically alter her image or runs an amazing Democratic Convention, she has little chance of winning the general election, however.

She also has a failed socialist health care bill, she was one to stand up and shout over violent video games, she still arse's about in a pro-war manner, not to mention that she has been trying to keep Bill muffled for some time now. I just don't think the Democrats like her, money can't make 'bitch' go away.

I doubt anyone will remember Hillarycare (although I hope they do) in 2008. The pro-war stuff may have an impact, however, with the liberal base, who will probably side with Feingold. Money itself is extremely important in the primary phase, but less important in the general. I'm going to make a prediction here: Hillary will outfinance all other democratic candidates easily.

I sure hope Clinton doesn't win the nomination, but ultimately, I think she'll prevail. Let's hope that New Hampshirans and Iowans are smart enough to see that she doesn't though.

I agree with Boss Tweed that McCain vs. Clinton is looking likely.
