One of the goals of President Obama’s State of the Union last night was to emphasize liberal issues, such as gun control, that could ease Hillary Clinton’s path to the White House.

But first she’s got to win the Democratic nomination, and for the first time in this contest, the mainstream media are considering the possibility that this isn’t a slam dunk.

The media’s conventional wisdom has long been that Hillary might stumble in an early state or two, but she was still a virtual lock to be the nominee. But suddenly the punditry, fueled by recent polls, is starting to shift, with news organizations now at least considering the possibility that this is a real race.

Nothing is a slam dunk. Hillary Clinton ran in 2008. The media thought she would be nominated, but that was Barack Obama.

I am less confident about Hillary Clinton getting nominated.

Obama schlonged Hillary if that's the case. Most Americans don't support democratic efforts at gun confiscation. Bernie is way more favorable to gun rights than Hitlery.

If authenticity is this year's most prized virtue, Bernie has HilLiar trounced already.
