I don't think Hillary knows what she stands for yet. She is waiting to announce her candidacy because she is waiting to see how the wind is blowing and whether can back what the wind says.
That means she isn't genuine. (No politician is).
She could announce her candidacy today and she still wouldn't say what she stands for. That's why so many on the left dislike her. She plays it safe and never shows true leadership.

I wish Warren would run, but she keeps saying no, so I have to believe it's no. The democrats have some attractive alternatives (Cory Booker, Alan Grayson) but they have no chance, especially Grayson.
The reason she hasn't declared yet is because then it would be open season for the media and the right wing to attack her. Right now, they can't because it looks stupid to attack someone who isn't officially running for President. Warren keeps saying no for the same reason. Plus, the moment she declared, the Clintons would come after her and even Obama would be forced to choose sides. Imagine how bad that would look for Hillary if her former boss hesitated on endorsing her. Grayson would be a great VP. Warren/Grayson 2016. If only.

Let's face it--you righties are fixated on identity politics and assume everyone else is too. Blacks didn't vote for Obama because he's black. They voted for him because blacks traditionally vote Democrat. If it were about race, blacks would've voted for Obama over Hillary. But at the start of the 2008 primary season, Hillary was leading among blacks. And if identity politics really mattered, then how come more women voted for Obama than McCain despite his putting Sarah Palin on the ticket?

Righties are not 'fixated on identity politics.' In fact I would argue that they bullheadedly ignore identity politics due to idealism about being 'color blind,' and then end up losing elections. I am not fixated on identity politics either, but I am fixated on reality, and identity politics is the reality these days.
People in this hardball town scarcely blinked at the bald racial calculations behind the recent "unity" summit (convened by the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson) to produce a single major black candidate for mayor, a process that ultimately rallied behind former Senator Carol Moseley Braun.
A black candidate who stepped aside last Friday, Congressman Danny K. Davis, made no secret that he and other African-American leaders feared a split in the black vote would hand a victory to the white candidate, Rahm Emanuel, or to the leading Latino contender, Gery Chico.
Note that there were no conservatives anywhere to be found in the race for mayor of Chicago.
Nope you want laughs you go with Bachmann, and add Palin, does not matter which goes for which office, I prefer Palin as Prez and Bachmann as VP, then I finally get to use my Moose and Squirrel label, I so missed out on that last time around, heck they could use that as the symbol.
OP asks for insight/analysis of Hillary Clinton, and liberal posters seem to have a tough time answering, instead defaulting to their favorite parlor game of 3rd grade name-calling against R's. I think this speaks volumes.
It is right out of Alinsky's playbook. D'ya think liberals have a problem with being the bully or being bullied?
You silly, I said I would Never support her unless Cruz was her opponent, (the only current candidate worse for the Nation IMO). Maybe you should try paying closer attention to what I post instead of see my name and over reacting I was just having fun at the expense of Moose and her side kick Squirrel while I could they are always such a hoot, the laughs never stop coming.
Like most libs, you most likely never got the non existent punchline.

What punchline? You want to know what she stands for look it up, the web will give you her stand on every issue we face. As I said, I would not support her, because of her stand on the issues, that is Unless the right goes full moonbat crazy and trots out a Tea Party guy or gal as their "alternative". You seem very concerned about Hillary, you shouldn't be unless you simply feel you have to run a TP'er, then you should be very concerned, Independents are more wary of TP'ers than Hillary because they already know what they would do to the Nation and it would not be a good thing.
