First, no one knows yet whether Hillary will run in 2016.

Second, who in hell is saying that there won't be several candidates running in the primaries? The ones who keep calling her "inevitable" are the same ones who were doing it in 2008: the media.

Third, which supporters are trying to "win ugly"? Her supporters think that she's the best and most qualified candidate. Those of you who don't agree can vote for someone else.

What's with these constant threads and concerns about a Hillary run? She's as entitled to run just as anyone else. Furthermore, I think that if she does run, she will win.

The only thing I see as "ugly" are the myriad of threads that people feel compelled to post three years before an election, bashing a person who no one knows yet if she'll run. This constant negativity against a fellow Democrat is wearing thin. Meaning that if this is the ugliness that we can expect on this site for the next three years, then we will have a very divided party indeed. 2016 won't be like 2008 where any Democrat would have won the WH after the Bush years. It's going to take some effort to keep the WH in 2016.

Also, it wouldn't be up to Hillary to decide who else is running in the 2016 primaries. That should be a decision made by the politicians who decide to throw their hat in the ring. Once all candidates declare their intention to run, I'm sure that she will engage them (again, if she does choose to run). That's what debates are for, aren't they?
