PLEASE NOTE: I am not asking whether or not you are planning on voting for her in either a primary or the general elections. I am asking you to measure the liklihood of her winning the Democratic nomination.

I think at this point, the odds would be greatly in her favor. But there is a lot of time left before the nominations - plenty of time for her popularity to fall off, or someone else's popularity to soar. Barack Obama will put a good campaign together, but in the end he may be too inexperienced to mount an effective threat to Hillary's nomination. But there are a lot of other candidate stumping out there.

At this point, I would say yes. But there is a lot of time left before the elections. The Democratic party could decide that she cannot win & not nominate her as the party choice. It seems unlikely, but it could happen, they may not sense that a woman can win. Even though she is running ahead in polls, doesn't mean that lead will hold. She could also make a mistake, easy to do; just the wrong word at the wrong time & boom, she is gone! There are those; although Democratic in voting, may just decide that they don't want a woman President. Only time will tell. Too soon to tell.

Too soon to tell! Have to wait until it's a little closer and all the Democrats who are running have surfaced. It's the candidate who the majority think is the best for the job, who will win.

I think so.
Obama would be a good running mate.
So would Vilsack from Iowa.
Both offer the midwest support the democratic party could have used in 2004.
She would be a good VP nominee as well.
It will be a tough road for Republicans to hold the White House.

I don't think she has a chance.
Mitt Romney is a more likely candidate.
With a good coach and make up crew, he stands a chance.
He has the same fetal alcohol syndrome look as Bush but if he stands at a angle to the camera it's hard to see it.

The bar is set pretty low in the Democratic Party, so probably. Look what they've ran in the past two elections.

I hope not. After seeing Obama speaking over the weekend, I think I am going to support him. It is a long time till the elections and I think Obama's message of ending partisan politics is going to appeal to voters who are sick of the current system.

No, her likelihood of getting the Democratic nomination is about 1%.

She has a lock on winning the whole thing.
You might not like her but she will be our next President. Those in charge have decided.
