I recognize that there are criticisms of Clinton from the left, there just doesn't seem to be any real power behind it. In short, from where I sit it's just some grumbling and then they are going to vote D note matter what. That's sad...because if that's the case the Republicans have already won 2016 either way.
Some of that is probably because they are afraid of her. She has a reputation for bearing a grudge and punishing those that opposed her. I think there are a lot of Obama supporters that are already looking over their shoulder with regards to what's going to happen if she wins in 2016 and remembers them backing Obama in 2008.
Democrats are to fractured for there to be any real power behind an opposition,and as i stated earlier, Hillary and the media have pretty much snuffed out any competition she has by basically making her the heir apparent since 2008.We have a sitting VP who has less than 10% support in his own party's primary.
Hillary and Bill spent the last 25 years networking and supporting other Democrats. It isnt just that they scare people into not going up against them, it is that so many people have road their coat tails to success that they have allies all over the place, even the Democrats who lost in general elections still are grateful to the Clintons for supporting them in the primaries.
No one else is going to be able to build that kind of support any time soon(Elizabeth Warren seems to be trying)

Good post.
We will just have to wait and see how things fall out.
Personally, I'm not going to hold my nose and vote for her or another Bush.....looks like I might be voting 3rd party again lol.
She is wayyyy too dangerous to be in the whitehouse if the senate and house are still republican....it's going to be just like when Bill was in office. That got us banking rules eased, NAFTA etc.
I like the fact that she seems to scare you right wingers like Obama does. Though in reality, there are a number of reasons why I like Warren and would love to see her one day run for president....but do I have interest in explaining that to someone I know has no interest in hearing what those reasons are? No, I do not.
At least you're being honest on this. Though, I still can't imagine what you see in her.
To maximize the brainpower, you have to pair SheJackL with Maxine "Shallow" Waters as her running mate. They would be unstoppable in a debate, a literal Mensa machine.
That paves the way to make Rev. "Tax Free" Sharpton the new Sec. of the Treasury -- after all, lil' Timmy Geithner didn't pay his taxes either.

I think Webb, like a number of others who would seemingly be great candidates for POTUS, is too smart to want the job. We'll likely get nothing but another pair of political hacks fronting the two major parties.
