sure, let's talk about the article.

Do I agree with it? No real opinion as this is just predictions based on current polling.
This prediction tends to shatter the "conventional wisdom" that her challenge will come from the left.
I find that prediction fascinating but definitely a possibility.

There's also some good meat about polling among self-identified Democrats and Democratic leaning indies/non-affiliated - Clinton crushed the SID's last time (as she is in current polling) but got clobbered by Obama in the other category and was a major factor in his win.

Who will gobble up the non SID's will probably be just as the article states.
