Nov 2014

is the equivalent of a hundred years?

She may very well go on to be the nominee and the eventual victor, but two years out is way too soon to be making any conclusions one way or another, I don't give a damn what "THE POLLS" say at this point.

Nothing is inevitable with two years to go, unless the electoral process is obsolete (which it may very well be since 2000).

I thought the point of primaries was to select the nominees and the point of the general election was to select the president and members of Congress.

If it's inevitable let's just forgo the process, declare the heirs to the throne now based on polls, and put the money normally wasted on elections to some good use.
