so get used to the idea. This is not a new political maneuver. George W. Bush* beat it to death.

One thing that helped then Senator Obama defeat Hillary Clinton in the primary was her vote to authorize Bush* to go into Iraq. Many Dems said they would never vote for any candidate as President who used their vote on that issue as a political tool designed to bolster their Presidential odds. And Dems remembered that during Hillary's run against Barack Obama. She is more hawkish than many Dems prefer and she is not a liberal. So I think the statement if she runs, she wins is a bit generous.

Welcome to DU.
