May 2014

She only lost by a hair in 2008, and that only happened because they didn't factor the importance of the caucus states, a mistake that her campaign would not repeat.

Furthermore, Democrats better pray that she chooses to run. This won't be like 2008 when a Democrat was assured a win after Bush, two wars and the economic collapse. It's rare that Democrats get a third consecutive term in the WH. Hillary could probably be the one person who could make it happen.
