"In December, 2007, just as the 2008 presidential primaries were beginning to heat up, and with Hillary Clinton 26 points ahead in national polling of Democrats, I wrote an article for AlterNet arguing that she was beatable, that she had vulnerabilities the other candidates did not have, that she had historically high 'unfavorables,' that she polled poorly against Republicans and that Democrats should rethink the "inevitability" of her candidacy.
Apparently, they did, and we know how that turned out.
Once again, Clinton is riding high in polling of Democrats; once again, her supporters are claiming she is "inevitable," and once again she has vulnerabilities other candidates lack, including extremely high "unfavorables," as well as additional liabilities in 2016 she didn't have in 2008 --
some of her own making, some not."
