Something I caught yesterday on ABC with George Stephanopolous....she is the leading candidate in her party in a poll. Can't recall the source of the poll. But, at the moment, Obama is a distant 2nd.
Saw it yesterday on Meet the Press, with Tim Russert.
He was talking to Sen. Kennedy, and they showed a poll of likely democrat voters and who they favored.
(approx)
43%-Hillary Clinton
18%-Barrack Obama
13%-John Edwards
11%-Al Gore
8%-John Kerry
^^^if I remember correctly, that's what the polls were.
However, many things can change in the next 4-5 months.
Looks like there's a good chance that it'll be Hillary getting the nomination though.
In which case, McCain will WTFpWn her. 😛

Al Gore was 10%, but it matters not. These are DEMOCRATS, not Americans.
I strongly envision Howard Dean pushing for Obama. The problem, imo, is that Hillary can't win a general election. It won't be an pwning as you suggest, but I don't think she would win. However, she is brilliant, her husband is the best campaigner in the US, and she has enough cash to do anything. You can't just throw that away.
That's why I'd like Hillary to be VP to Obama. The question is whether or not she'd accept that position.
However, The Republican party has its own problems. McCain would have a hard time getting a nomination for the party. Giuliani has nothign to run on, except 9-11, and I'd REALLY like to see that campaign stategy end.

Hillary better go out and pray with more Christians in the midwest to get more support 😱
No. Thats stupid. Maybe people should grow up and repect people's personal religious preferences.
An interesting perspective.
"Strategists: Clinton must tackle her 'Billary' problem
Observers on both sides of the political aisle say that after all these years what Hillary Clinton needs is a separation agreement from her husband. No, not that kind, a political separation, where she gets his assets, without the liablities.
Former President Bill Clinton's political assets are of course considerable: He's considered by many to have the finest political mind in the Democratic Party, his ability to connect with voters is as impressive as ever, and he remains the biggest draw on the Democratic money circuit.
But being so closely identified with Bill is not without its drawbacks for Hillary, according Anita Dunn, a Democratic strategist, and Scott Reed, a Republican strategist.
They say that one reason around 40 percent of U.S. voters have an unfavorable opinion of Senator Clinton (according to CNN polling) is that they don't like her husband, and that because Bill and Hillary originally came as a package, she gets saddled with the mistrust directed toward him.
Her challenge? Reintroduce herself, drop the baggage, move past the soap opera, become a candidate of the future, not the past.
As Anita Dunn told us today, Senator Clinton's problem is that the voters don't know her, but they think they do. New Yorkers now know her apart from her husband, and reelected her overwhelmingly. It's her job now to take that separation national."
