I'm gonna go on the record right now with America is still not ready for anything other than a white guy as President. I mean, people are having fits about Romney's Mormonism, for fuck's sake! It ain't happening. Sure, she'll probably win the nomination, and I don't see it being too far fetched to see Obama on the ticket as VP, but they won't win.
Now, think on this one: What if Obama BEATS Hillary? Would she join his ticket? ...or would she sink his campaign altogether? The Clintons have always divided your party... maybe she might split off altogether. Ever stop to consider that Bloomberg may toss his "independent" campaign to her if that's the case? Democrat voters have become an awfully cagey lot since 2000. I just don't see her as the shoe in she used to be. Kerry proved what entering the race with an already prepared, well-oiled attack machine set against you can do, and she has that in spades. She knows it too...
She has built so many walls against any real questions being asked of her, but that won't last forever. Kos and the internet brigades will want to know she can survive an election before they actually throw their weight behind her in the primaries, and Obama is just cleaner than she is. I think the far-left fringe is still too small and newly organized to do anything other than show a united front in 08, but I'm not so sure they'll unite for her. I also think the weight they do carry is so hip right now the traditional media will follow whatever lead they take without reservation, even if that means throwing Hillary under the bus.
Regardless, neither will be the next President... not of this country anyways.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
