In response to "My comment is less about her ability to win the general and more about the lack of ambition within the party to attempt to beat her." by Name Withheld By Request

The party (save the Warren Wing) is united behind her because they know she is the best chance to win

Whatever her faults as a primary candidate (and she's obviously never going to be an Obama on the trail) she - and the party machinery - will present a compelling, stark distinction with whatever GOP juggernaut emerges from their primaries

The economy would have to completely tank by next November and Obama's approval ratings would have to collapse at the same time to change the fundamentals of her race against whomever the GOP chooses

As the Moody's prediction notes, she can afford to lose Ohio, Colorado, and Florida from Obama's coalition of victory and still eke out a bare electoral majority

I refuse to believe she was the only Democrat that could "eek" out a win. Your IM is setting a low bar. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:58 3

  - Yeah, I guess I just wonder how ambitious Democrat pols looked at HRC's not-insignificant unfavourables and still saw, "Best Chance". -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 13:03 1
    - Her favorables within the party are still super high -- (edited) - jangles Aug 11, 13:25
