It bears repeating - Hillary cannot win in 2008
Most people already know that she's very likely going to lose the nomination to Obama. The ONLY way she can win the nomination is to somehow get enough superdelegates to NOT put the pledged delegate leader over the magic number. If that would happen, the protests by outraged Democratic voters would be severe and extremely damaging to Hillary already slim chances against McCain. (Hint - people tend to vote for the person they like, and McCain is more likable than Hillary, who is seen as untrustworthy by a huge majority). Then subtract the enthusiam and money that Obama would have brought to the table, plus disenchanting the loyal Democratic voting bloc of African-Americans who've overwhelmingly supported Obama, and she'd likely lose in a landslide.

5. Call it like it is.
She can't STEAL the nomination. No matter how hard she tries she won't be allowed to steal it. The SD's aren't idiots.

She's done. Lets move on to the GE already.

6. Wrong...she can win...Barry can't...
...besides, you're wrong about likability...people often do vote for someone they might not like. Likability is only part of the equation, but leave it to a Bot to simply oversimplify everything. President McLame, here we come.

8. The echo chamber from the Obamites is hilarious.
She can win the election if she gets the nominee. She can compete in Ohio and Florida, Obama can't.

9. IF Hillary manages to seperate the SDs from their minds, and get installed as nominee,
she would have more trouble with the Congress than Bill EVER had.

13. Hillary will be lucky to win re-election to her Senate seat in 2012.
And I will personally drive 8 hours to campaign for any Democrat we run against her for that seat.

She is rapidly surpassing Lieberman as most reprehensible DINO.
