Because for all of the Hillary supporters, you can rest easy; she will win the primary. Ickes and Hillary have been salting the Democratic waters for years, and they have the bucks to do it. When Hillary officially announces, let the fundraisers begin! Already Hillary is making moves on the grassroots with tempting little e-mails about this issue and that issue, all new to her concerns, to expand her data base.

She will have all the air time, all the money, and most importantly a huge inside party machine. Why do you think Ickes, the man who runs HillPAC, now runs the ACT?

So that's that.

If Hillary has much of a core beyond her own ambitions, it is center to center-right. BTW, she has always stood up for women and children, I'll grant her that. Unless of course they live in Iraq; at which point, the next election and proper posturing takes precedence.

Now someone at DU explained to me why I'm a bad "woman" if I don't support Hillary.

For those of you who believe that Hillary will lose the General Election, time will prove you right. The republican base is now larger than the Democratic base, and to win is to expand the base. Hillary not only can't do that, no matter how much she embraces "Operation Rescue" she will actually shrink the base.

I voted for Kerry, took a second job to send him all of the money, and cast an ABB vote. I don't know if I can do that again; I don't think I want to; and I don't think four years is a long enough time to change my mind.
