CBS Poll: 85% of Democrats approve of a Clinton candidacy
Democrats are similarly concerned with ideological purity: 63 percent say it's more important to have a nominee who agrees with them, while 35 percent say it's more important to pick a winner.
Most of the popular anticipation is coalescing around former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Eighty-five percent of Democrats would like Clinton to dive in, while 11 percent want her to stay out.
Her closest competitor, Vice President Joe Biden, is sought by only 40 percent of Democrats. Thirty-eight percent want Biden to stay on the sidelines.
Twenty-three percent say Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a darling of liberal activists, should launch a bid, but 20 percent disagree.
Beyond those three, Democrats' excitement about their potential field is lacking. Only 16 percent want New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to run, while 18 percent disagree. Twelve percent would like to see Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, to run, while 16 percent want Sanders to keep his day job. Three percent want former Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Maryland, to run, but 13 percent don't. And 6 percent of voters want former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Virginia, to run, but 14 percent disagree.

sooo interesting to see where we are a year from now.
last two years of the Obama Presidency~ May We(Yes We Can) all have Good Fortune for our Country and the Planet. It is a Planetary thing, too.
To the last two years of the Obama Presidency.. may it work out well for all of us on Planet Earth!
… and what a silly comment to make when another person's post asks to examine what you might think is true..
You and I have something in common, and we're both stand-up about it!
Best, MMM
Welcome to DU, btw--we need all the help we can get.
"And they're comparing her with Joe Biden for God's sake. If third way Hillary has to face a traditional populist Democrat, most Democrats will choose the real deal."
on the global trade and TPP was discussed. And, a number of the people there were some of the big names in NAFT!!!
So obviously, she is all for the death of the American work force and the upward transfer of wealth! 
(never mind, they also happen to be trade and global economics experts and never mind, her comments on what she would like to see come out of any trade deal ... all that is irrelevant when building the HRC bogeyman.)
The M$M continues to set the narrative for low information voters.
They treat the presidency like a high school popularity contest. 
I was not addressing why she chose to defend a man she considered guilty of rape, but rather the fact that she believed him guilty, laughed about it and still went to extraordinary lengths to get him off. He ended up pleading out to a reduced charge of fondling, because the crack Arkansas police botched the evidence of the 12 year old's blood stained panties. The article YOU cited also backs up my claims about my earlier research, i.e, she went to New York to get an a high powered expert to intimidate the local yokels in Arkansas. The article also validates the tape recordings from the University of Arkansas on which Hillary laughed about the case.
"
s)he couldn’t recall the name of the Nobel Prize-winning blood expert from New York, whose promise to testify was critical to her defense. "
I urge everyone to read your politifact link, not as to why she took this case, but as to the despicable, win-at-any-cost manner in which she pursued it, at the expense of a 12 year old child. That method of belittling a younger woman victimized by an older man surfaced writ large when she bizarrely blamed Monica Lewinsky as a looney toon, and excused Bill's actions.
At PolitiFact, we decided to review what’s known about the case to see if Clinton accurately portrayed how she came to represent the defendant. Because some of the key players have died, we won’t issue a rating on our Truth-O-Meter.
Overall, we did find a few inconsistencies in Clinton’s recollection of the nearly 40-year-old events. But we also found significant evidence suggesting she had little choice but to take the case. And the story itself provides insights in the early career of a potential 2016 presidential candidate.
Clinton mounted a vigorous defense that included discrediting the child victim’s story by writing in an affidavit that the girl was "emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men" and had made "false accusations" in the past. The victim told Thrush in 2008 and the Daily Beast that Clinton made that up.
Those details didn’t make it into Clinton’s memoir Living History or her recollections of the case in the newly released interview. She does note that the defendant passed a lie-detector test — "which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs," she said in the 1980s — and she said the prosecution botched one of the most important pieces of evidence, Taylor’s blood-stained underwear. She called it a "terrible case."
Taylor, charged with first-degree rape, ultimately pleaded guilty to unlawful fondling of a minor. He died in 1992.
aren't you tired of being taken to the woodshed all the time?
HRC is a dead issue here..take a hint and go try to drum up some tired old support at the retirement community down the road, cause it ain't working here.
Even I might have a shot at one. 
So funny that the Far Left thinks Majority America agrees with them on everything!!!!
