Hillary's electability is largely political myth at this point

56. You are right, and I find all those who crow

that she *almost* won in 2008 don't seem to understand that she lost. Almost won is still lost.

This far out what most polls really show is name recognition. She has wonderful name recognition. But then, she had that in 2008 also. And she still lost.

Aside from what Prism so clearly describes about her only three campaigns, there's a somewhat naïve belief that women all over America are desperate to elect a woman President. Just because she's a woman. First off, it's obvious women do not cross party lines in droves to vote for another woman, otherwise we'd currently have Governor Wendy Davis and Senator Alison Lundgren Grimes. In addition, there are a lot of women out there who don't really think women belong in elected office of any kind, and really don't have any business as President.

In addition, the notion that because all of her past scandals have been dealt with means she's bullet proof this time around overlook Benghazi, which unfortunately will never die. It also overlooks that every single thing she and Bill ever did in the past will be once again grist for the hate mill, as dumb as that is.

And worst of all, is that if a corporatist Wall Street crony like her becomes President, the stability of Social Security and Medicare will be severely compromised.
