Well, I'm calling the Democratic nomination for Hillary Clinton. [View all] MineralMan Jan 2015 OP

Bernie said he would decide by March, and we aren't there yet. CaliforniaPeggy Jan 2015 #1

Probably. Which proves that money and "not as bad" still works. Tierra_y_Libertad Jan 2015 #2

Actually, it proves that the majority of those who vote MineralMan Jan 2015 #17

THe other day I said she needed money, and tons of it (Warren) and someone said she cant take randys1 Jan 2015 #79

except for that fact that MOST Democrats disagree with Left Leaning Independents on that. VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #112

Tsk, tsk. And...? Tierra_y_Libertad Jan 2015 #124

And nothing.... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #128

I'm a Democrat (and, a leftist) that doesn't support Hillary. Tierra_y_Libertad Jan 2015 #129

awww VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #130

I don't mind being called independent. And, you're the one telling Democrats what to do. Tierra_y_Libertad Jan 2015 #131

but the difference is...I AM one!!!! VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #133

It's too early for me to predict the general election. MineralMan Jan 2015 #14

Is that a prediction or wishful thinking? LordGlenconner Jan 2015 #103

this time i dont want her to run, but i still think she will likely be our nominee La Lioness Priyanka Jan 2015 #5

What I want has little to do with my prediction. MineralMan Jan 2015 #13

I agree with you La Lioness Priyanka Jan 2015 #89

where? I just proved YOU wrong....and I can back it up with evidence.... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #172

so you agree...you have a "mole hill" VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #178

Which issues collectively do you think counter-balance "Pro-War"? Scuba Jan 2015 #181

Where did you even get THAT bullshit idea that she is...Pro War? VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #183

Occam's dull razor... brooklynite Jan 2015 #7

So I keep reading. MineralMan Jan 2015 #11

Is this a recycled prediction from '08? Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #8

Nope. I was an Obama supporter from the beginning MineralMan Jan 2015 #9

But the Hillary camp was predicting what you are predicting now Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #15

So? I wasn't predicting that. MineralMan Jan 2015 #19

I get it. They were predicting it, not you ;~) Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #24

The GOP frontrunners are in a dead heat with "The Next One" Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #26

You don't think it's too early to call the nomination for Hillary? Autumn Jan 2015 #33

No. I think at this point that my prediction is fairly clear and MineralMan Jan 2015 #40

I'll take your word for that. I'm not seeing a viable alternative yet either Autumn Jan 2015 #46

I think you're incorrect. MineralMan Jan 2015 #51

In early 2006, I did not think he could win. MineralMan Jan 2015 #119

I wish that old forum was still open JonLP24 Jan 2015 #137

Someone had a forum that had a collection of my internet posts? MineralMan Jan 2015 #148

The forum was here JonLP24 Jan 2015 #167

Oh, OK. The Meta Forum. MineralMan Jan 2015 #168

It was very entertaining to read JonLP24 Jan 2015 #169

All they have to do is get the corporate Dem the primary win and running in the general election. stillwaiting Jan 2015 #109

Of course the left is ALWAYS to blame. Has been for years. Autumn Jan 2015 #111

At this point this isn't a prediction so much as it is accepted wisdom tkmorris Jan 2015 #22

Yep, and I see the GOP being a long Klown Kar again. MohRokTah Jan 2015 #25

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with options in the primary Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #88

There are plenty of Democrats with the name recognition. If the Democratic party can't find someone Autumn Jan 2015 #92

That kinda sums the difference between 3rd-Way and Populists Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #93

Why didn't you caucus for Obama? joshcryer Jan 2015 #139
