hillary clinton is a partial republican? what does this mean?
and since some genius has predetermined who votes for who then why bother with an election... would save alot of time and money to just place the selections into the designated spots and let them govern
also i assume that the 30% of hispanics, women, and the 5% of blacks will be "voting against their own self interests"
Hillary Clinton will get 70% of women (maybe more. Women correctly believe that most of the problems in this country are because men are running it) and Hispanics and 95% of blacks. There is no way the Republicans can beat her. She may even bring the House along with her. She may not even have primary opposition, so she can define herself right up the middle of the electorate. This could be the largest landslide in US history.
Let's see how much Obama screws up the next 2 years. That will make all the difference.
I was on Youtube yesterday watching some of the older and then newer speeches and press conferences by Obama. What's really interesting after listening to him is to go back and watch them again with the volume turned down. Extreme agining in only a few years aside, it is interesting to watch the mans' body language. And the eyes. He is a very tired and angry man nowadays.
In an electorate that overwhelmingly favored Republicans, Democrats said they managed to boost the number of ballots cast over 2010 in key states like New Hampshire, North Carolina and Colorado.
The people will be even sicker of them after 2 more years of the SAME-O,SAME-O!
I have actually heard the opposite. Democrats' reliance on demographics over actual content cost them the election. Additionally, it remains to be seen how dedicated the Obama coalition is to the democrats

It's called political science. We can predict how certain groups are likely to vote with quite a bit of accuracy. Clinton, particularly if she has no primary opposition of significance, will be able to go right up the middle of American politics appealing to the moderate majority. Women will take a huge amount of satisfaction in voting for the first woman president in history as did blacks with Obama. She is a transformational candidate as was Obama, but she knows her stuff too, is strongly connected politically, and above all, qualified. The question will not be whether she wins, but if she can get the House back too.

Well from what I've heard people say,they don't blame the Democratic 'party' for the failings of Obama as a President,but they have a huge number of the GOP 'party' to blame for their low 22% approval of Congress!

Political science meets political reality. Clinton is an aging women with serious baggage. While certainly bright, she's not the least bit glib or charismatic on her feet like her husband was, or young, hip and black like Obama. She's also prone to gaffes as we've seen. The more she was out in the public, the lower her approval ratings became.
The demographic game dems play so well with young, uninformed voters is a two way sword. The Clinton name will mean nothing to that demographic. Also, democrats have really developed into the party of the cult of personality. Worked with Bill Clinton, worked with Obama - you roll out a 67 year old pear-shaped Hillary Clinton - good luck. Dem turnout is great when a single leader excites the base - but lousy otherwise.
I am in no way predicting a GOP victory, but I'm not sure Clinton will even be the dem nominee. Frankly, I'd expect dems to find one of your more promising and younger Hispanic candidates to run. Plus - Hillary will have to twist herself in pretzels distancing herself from Obama's disastrous policies while not distancing herself from Obama the democratic cult figure. She was, you know, a part of his administration. Benghazi ring any bells?
No, but you should be if Clinton runs. It's over before it even starts.
Not if Obama keeps doing what he's been doing. This could easily spill over to 2016 and hurt Hillary.
It will be interesting to see Dems in Congress support Obama or look into the future of 2016.
They may have to make a choice.
More importantly, she's too old. The last 3 Presidents have been in their 40's and that's what it takes to get the youth vote.
She will be about 70 years old by the time we vote in 2016.
