Ooooh, I love this post, every point you have is SPOT ON. I am shaking my head at WHO exactly would even consider voting for her, if she does throw her hat in the ring??? Come on man, we can do BETTER than that.
Yes, it is to the point of ridiculous to even consider voting for her.
The VP has an office in the White House. When most educated people speak of "The White House" they mean the Prez and VP.
He may have an office there but he's the leader of the Senate, and the Senate doesnt work in the White House. You cant "lead" and not be Present.. Well obama can. but he's special.

Reasons not to go back decades now.
People will vote for her because
A) She's a Democrat
B) She's a female
C) Clinton is considered a successful President, and jokes were made that it was Hillary actually running things
D) Many think the scandals are fabricated
E) Others know/believe they are real, but just dont care.
Are there any other female Democrats that look capable and competent? I have nothing against a female president, but she actually has to be capable, not just female. A vagina doesn't make you more or less qualified, any more than pigmentation does. And I'm sure the Dems have some decent female leaders out there. Finestein, Boxer, Pelosi and Murry, oh and Hillary, aren't really the best they can offer. There have to be some with brains and ability too.
Word is the Dems have a BIG problem in 2015: their POTUS choices are getting old in age. Hillary will be pushing 70 if she tries to run. So will the rest of the big name Dems.

What I cant wait to see is if Hillary will run as a Washington outsider, or if she'll run on Obamas policies being widely successful and pretend the nation is full of idiots.

Especially a rather sad commentary of the US today.
That is just acquiescing to "Character does not matter one iota".
In polls, HC consistently leads big vs everyone. The only path for the GOP is to widen their tent, and appeal to moderate Americans en masse in swing states, and even win at least 1 or 2 Blue Wall states.
Jeb Bush should be the candidate best able to do that.
But going against any Dem with the Blue wall intact is like going up vs the Univ of Kentucky men's bb team or UConn women's team. The opponent starts off trailing badly, needing to make NO mistakes, and needing to avoid writing off any voting block.

No way the GOP widens that tent. They've got their Tea Partiers all lined up and anyone that shows any disagreement is called a RINO and made to walk the plank. Jeb Bush is called a RINO. Their whole mantra is anyone but Jeb. They want purity, no tent widening for them. And don't forget, the GOP platform is no gay marriage. Same with immigration, etc.
I am not viewing widening it as likely; I am simply accepting the fact not widening it insures GOP POTUS defeat.
