Problems for Hillary in the general election
I went to this link from Andrew Sullivan; it's a reminder that Hillary has just huge negatives amongst the population at large--52% of Americans wouldn't consider voting for her. If she's nominated, one has to wonder if she'll run a slash-and-burn campaign. Saturated with negativity, such a campaign would pump up the negatives of the Republican nomineee and lower turnout, giving her a chance.

The only development that could threaten Hillary's election is if Mayor Bloomberg was to run. As for her running a slash and burn campaign,what makes you think she's that stupid! All this talk of her running a diivisive campaign is just a set up for conservatives to use even more vicious attacks on her and when she defends herself to accuse her of the very things conservatives have become famous for (see the 2004 electio and the Swift Boat smear..).
