>>>>>>although I would love to be proven wrong, my big fear is that, despite her Amazonian aggressiveness when it comes to foreign policy, these supposedly "antiwar" Democrats will find her Xena-like persona irresistible>>>>>>

I think if she makes a "comeback" among the part's antiwar core constituency it will be less that we can't resist her "Xena -like " persona and more that we will regard her as a pale, wan, and probably disingenuous version of the real deal: i.e. the hard- right totalitarians that have monopolized the FED gov't over the last few years.

It's easy for even a detractor ... like myself... to envision her forever rattling her saber toward eye-RAN... and all things 'evil', but much harder to picture her actually giving the go-ahead for an unprovoked war of aggression,a la Bush Co. Thus, the base may stay with her, as the lesser of two evils.

I believe her people think she can reprise Bill's '92 game plan. I doubt it... as much of that success was attributable to Bill's personal charm, and ability to speak publicly. Hillary is woefully short-changed in both departments. So we may see more than just the perfunctory saber rattling from Ms. Clinton.

I don't think she can be nominated, in any scenario. I'm willing to BET she can't be elected.
