It seems she is destined for coronation as America's first female president. At least, that's what SHE believes. Does the Democrat base have the courage to choose Obama or Edwards over her?

She is in trouble but the base will come out for her, if she is the nominee there will be more Republicans voting than ever before.

Do not confuse "voter opinion" (which is ONLY evidenced at the ballot boxes) with "media opinion".
I think it's pretty clear that if it were up to the media, Hillary would be sworn in as soon as possible.
The fact that we can even see enough to consider the possibility that Hillary's nomination might be in doubt when it comes to voter opinion indicates that she is in very serious trouble indeed.
If that is as true as I think, she has a complication few candidates have ever had, and that is that she is limited in how she can respond. Already about half the voters dislike her intensely, and anything she does to damage her opponents' reputations will be expected, and considered a "dirty trick". It won't matter whether the photographs are genuine or not, and it won't even matter if she and her staff really are totally innocent of the disclosure, any such effort by anyone against an opponent of hers is more than likely going to backfire and cause her more damage than the target.
So that leaves her stuck with having to campaign on her own ability, experience, character, integrity, and leadership.
Yeah, I'd call that being in serious trouble.

I hope that her numbers continue to tank. Only a sexist would vote for Hillary no matter what she says or does. People who are not sexists will measure Hillary by her actions and words.
To see her try to have it both ways in national, televised debates speaks volumes. To see her vote for Bush's policies and then speak out against those same policies is repugnant.
I'd like someone to ask Hillary:
"Which is it? Is the Iranian Guard a terrorist group or not? If they are then what prevents military action against them? If not, then why did you vote to label them as such?"

I wouldn't worry about old Hillary. I'm sure she has photos of Obama and Edwards snorting cocaine, and banging hookers, or something. She won't release them until right before critical primaries. Hillary will win the nomination just like her hubby did back in '92 by destroying the reputations of her rivals.

Most of the Dems I know will vote Repub if the DNC is foolish enough to allow Hillery to get the nomination.

Doesn't take courage...they have a better chance at winning than Hillary, imo, she is hated by too many people.

No,they'll vote for her. She'll p*ssy whip them into submission. Of course,she will lose as president and hopefully she'll go off with Janet Reno somewhere.

Courage has nothing to do with it. Where did you come up with that crap? I hope both her and Obama go away.

She is in big time trouble, and, she knows it. If she loses Iowa and New Hampshire, it may be over for her campaign.

I think her base is the business roundtable or the drug company lobby. Fortunately, businesses can't vote.
