she lost the primary in 2008 to a virtual unknown. But she wants to be president and like Donald Trump she has the money to throw around, along with the fact that she knows all the decision makers after serving as first lady. She's not a horrible person and she is in fact very intelligent. I've said over and over that she should be sitting on the supreme court. I don't think, however, that she has the personality to successfully win in the general. I guess we'll see. If she's the candidate we'll have no choice but to support her, but it's going to be very lukewarm support at best from the progressive wing of the party (and all of the Reagan dems Bernie is attracting - who I think will look elsewhere because of NAFTA).
