It wouldn't be a wise move for the Democrats to nominate Hillary Clinton for President. She brings far too much baggage to the table. The question is do we want to go back to the political dramas of the 1990's? Hillary has started out as the initial frontrunner, but her support seems to be very shallow. The media seems very interested in her candidacy, along with some elements of the donor base, but the grassroots isn't exactly fired up to get behind Hillary. Most likely, it's because she's failing to run a particularly inspired campaign. Many of her stands are standard boilerplate material and her strategic moves are so planned and controlled that they turn off a lot of voters. In other words, she's sitting on her lead when she should be running hard. Watch for the Democratic primary race to start heating up over the next few months, espeically if Hillary continues to fail to capture the public imagination. Obama is the guy to watch.

UPDATE: As primary season approaches, I expect her to begin struggling a bit. Her competition for the nomination have been holding their fire, but expect especially Obama and Edwards to start hitting hard on questions about her honesty, integrity, and sincerity. Hillary is a pro and won't take it sitting down, but it will be interesting to watch if whether any of mud sticks on her thus far well oiled campaign machine. If it does, expect Obama to be the immediate beneficiary.
