I agree If Hillary runs as I expect her to she will win nomination.She will run as a Obama Democrat and likely keep the huge black,Hispanic,and Asian voters that got Obama In with young white voters.Some white women who listened to BS about Obama would likely come home to Hillary.

Forget about Rubio.The nomination will come between Jeb Bush,Christie(after he wins reelection In a landslide he will start setting up his 2016 run) and Santorum.

If you think Obama Is too centist with how he treats corporations and his cuts in SS and medicare In budget that will never get
voted on then Hillary Is particully a right wing leaning dem compared to Obama.Obama Is the more liberal of the 2 of them.

If dems want the 2016 nominee to be left of Obama that's not Hillary.
