It might be unpopular to say, but in this country at this time, noone has a chance of winning a presidential except a straight white male. I would love to see a woman or minority in the white house, but it won't happen in our lifetime. Too many poeple will vote against Hillary JUST BECAUSE she is a woman, as sad as that might be to say. Moreover, Hillary KNOWS this. She will be forever fameous if she wins the Democratic nomination. She would be the first woman to ever do so. But she will be clobbered in the general election, regardless of who the Republicans put up against her. She is a strong woman, which to most right wing conservative men (and women) means that she is a bitch. I'll say it again ... SHE CAN'T WIN.

If she really cared about the party, she would recognize this and NOT RUN. But she is too intent on becoming fameous and outdoing her husband to care.
