23. Well, for one thing she hasn't said that she's running...

And if she did, she is by far the one most likely to get the nomination. I also think she is liked well enough by the masses that her win wouldn't be too difficult. Chris Christie is pretty much out of the race. The only one that might have a shot of beating Hillary is Jeb and I don't think that's likely to go far because of his last name.

Also, I think she'd make a fine president if she did win. I'm not sure if we'd get exactly the same. There are liable to be differences from Obama. I don't think he's done a bad job either.

If she does run, I will fully get behind her. Not just because she's a frontrunner right out of the gate, but also because I think she'd make a damn fine president we can all be proud of.
