Hillary's problem
She has front-runner syndrome. She is going to say as little as possible. She is going to play it as safe as she can get away with. She would very much like the election to be tomorrow.
Time is not on her side. The more Obama and Edwards and Kucinich and Biden get some attention, the less brave she gets.
She is hiding her core. She is playing it safe. In fairness, its the smart move given her circumstances.... But primary voters want to see some more passion. I want her to be more willing to put herself out there, take the risk and declare her intentions more than she has up to this point.

She comes across as a technician.

I do think she is the overwhelming favorite to win.

1. if people wanted passion
they would have voted for dean instead of kerry.

Primary voters date the ones with passion and then marry the boring technocrats.

2. Not always
We married John Kennedy and we married Bill Clinton. Money can also be an important factor. If the one with passion has lots of bucks it can even the playing field.
