Theres cause for concern in Hillaryland, the constellation of Democratic advisers, supporters and politicians counting on the former secretary of state to lead the party to a sweeping victory next November.
From Our Advertisers
Hillary Rodham Clintons nomination is almost a foregone conclusion, barring any unlikely legal or health issues. Democrats will offer a more coherent and unified front for the general election than the fractious Republicans.
Still, this optimism is based on the presumed weakness of the opposition, and ignores what polling suggests could be the candidates own vulnerabilities.
The worries of some Clinton insiders are focused on the general election. There is an enthusiasm gap. Surveys of voters at this early stage of the campaign show that young people, independents, possibly even blacks and Hispanics are not excited about her candidacy.

Just for their candidate lacking integrity.
Ticket sales for "Bullets Over Broadway" has been passed by "Dodging Bullets in Bosnia" as the play of the year!!
To be surpassed earlier next year by "Dodging Questions on Stage".
To be followed by the comedy "Life in Dodge City".
All great plays, I'm sure.

Oh, wait, that was a lie, to get her cred on.
