7. She's in a box

If she repudiates the status quo to gain the votes she needs to win the primaries she will be throwing a knife into the heart of her appeal to the moderates in her base who comprise her greatest support (in both votes and financially).

Failing to do that will not give her enough support to be the nominee in a time when voters are even more desperate for the "change" Obama was supposed to deliver.

Its the Obama problem all over again, except this time theres no guessing if the challenger really is a liberal.
