Clinton Camp Says Long-Shot Democratic Challengers Still Pose A Real Threat - WaPo
Hill's team puts out a country music video and yet no one on DU is talking about it.
Why is that?, you ask. Could it be that it sucks? Or is it that the DUmp monkey hive mind still wants to blame her for running against the clean articulate black (half black) guy?
Backers and allies of Hillary Rodham Clinton are increasingly worried about the threat posed by a motley field of Democratic presidential hopefuls who could complicate, or even derail, a Clinton candidacy in 2016 by focusing attention on her weaknesses. No...... Not Hillery! Weak?! No!
But each of the emerging challengers also appeals to a constituency within the Democratic Party that Clinton has struggled with in the past. And unlike Clinton — who has yet to formulate a clear message for a potential campaign — each has distinct issues to build a campaign around.I think she should take a stand on racism and immigration!
But the biggest concern among many Clinton acolytes is someone who says she is not running — Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), an economic populist who has come to personify a longing among liberal Democrats for someone further to Clinton’s left.
Warren especially interests and worries Bill Clinton, the unofficial top strategist for his wife’s shadow campaign, according to two people who know the former president well. Bill Clinton admires Warren’s stemwinder speaking style, and Hillary Clinton echoed parts of Warren’s sticking-up-for-the-little guy economic message during midterm speeches this year.Warren better watch out if Bill starts offering her cigars.

6. Good news I like Hillary on a personal level and I think she would have done a good job had she been elected in 2008. But, now I feel that thing that smacks as a my turn thing. So, I am just not feeling it.

9. Still pushing her "inevitability," I see: We are expected to function with the idea the nomination is hers to lose. (By the way ... go away, Bill. Just go away.)
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Pretty quiet thread so far... but I still wonder about the song...
