Hilary is droping in the polls to Obama. The problem is not Obama, in that her support is mostly a rejection of Edwards and the other candidates. The problem is also a lack of courage on the part of the other candidates.
Hilary has a core of far left never married or widowed feminist and some media types.
Her support amongst unions and the far left has always been paper thin. Her spin meisters have gone out of the way to remove her from the people. Rudy Guliani can walk into a real sporting event and look like he belongs and so can Charles Schumer or Mayor Bloomburg. They appear natural and do not worry about being booed. John Kerry looked like a clod when the owner of the Red Sox placed him in a highly visable seat. The reality is that it isn't about money because Bloomburg can buy and sell Kerry even with the Heinz money. Bloomberg has a one of us persona and is a fighter. He built his fortune and knows how to move amongst real people.
Hilary was booed by the firefighters and her allies at Disney edited that out of the documentaries of 9-11. She has been shell shot ever since and appears only before packed houses or scripted interviews. The result of her PR staff is that she appears imperial and phony. The PR team did not have to excersize such tight control of Bill Clinton because he could mingle with regular folk. Hilary's legendary temper and perpetual victimhood are annoying. Rick Lazio handed her an envelope in a debate and her allies in the media spun that as Lazio bullies Hilary. If that is the case my boss must bully me hourly when he leaves cases at my desk.
The other candidates are afraid to say a word about Hilary. However Howard Dean has no love for the Clintoons and correctly blames the Clintonista faction in the media for going nutty about the scream.
The imperial image and PR control has left many Democrats unsure of who and what she is. She has been positioning herself steadily as anti-war, notably by knifing Joe Lieberman in the back by supporting Comwad Lamont. Yet the far left does not trust her. The ordinary people do not seem to think she is one of us. Hilary has been marketed much like a laxative. Buy brand X because it is brand x and not brand Y. This doesn't work for Proctor and Gamble as even Metamucil advertisements speak of the benefit of the product. Why should we vote for Hilary is never answered and the best she can do is point to her husbands record. Her record in the senate is almost as bad as Col Bernie Sanders or Gomer Kerry who have done nothing. Sanders has sponsored one bill that passed in the house of Representatives in between some wacky votes on pedophelia and the amber alert.
There is also the Clinton sleaze factor including book deals that seem more like payola. The dirty secret is that most of the Clintoon scandals are more related to Hilary than Bill including cattle futures, missing FBI files ( worse than Watergate),
travelgate and the sale of Presidential pardons by Hugh "lowlife" Rodham. The media may let Hilary skate but the people aren't so stupid. There is even among Democrats Clinton fatigue.
Hilary does not have what it takes to fix her image problem. Outside her core suporters her support has always been luke warm. Obama is a flash in the pan but the message for Edwards and Richardson is that Hilary is vulnerable. The Democrats are not smart enough to nominate Richardson so it looks more and more like Rudy in 08.

She's going to slap Dennis Kucinich in the face during a primary debate and - because slapping Dennis Kucinich would be just damned funny - Hillary Clinton will ride to the nomination on a wave of "what will she do next?"
Lets see Duck the only one who is soft on pedophiles is still Bernie Col Sanders.
Hilary's anti-semetic quotes are far more recent than the macacca quote and nobody had any evidence Sen Allen was a criminal. Hilary's crimes are far more serious than Watergate.
How did Mrs Sanders get a job as a College President? Her pay on the campaign of Col Sanders also reeks of corruption. The Sanders as man of the people bit is a con, unless the people are Boss Tweed or the corrupt Chicago Mayor Daley's office.
Unlike Hilary, Bernie Kerik was a genuine hero and his scandals are far less serious than hers. Hilary did one good thing, she tossed faux Rabbi Lerner an anchor and has distanced herself from the Commie fool.
oh plucky! there are no pedophilic preachers running for president. just a bunch of lefties morphing and angling for the attention of the right, by bible waving and other such nonsense. they're pathetic at best. the right is NOT going to awaken left any time soon.
one can keep up with hitlery's goings on here:

BE INFORMED!
How the clergy men pedophiles is relevant to this post is beyond me. However, Col Bernie Sannders has some unusual votes in this area.
This is more Marxist bigotry. Speaking of pedophiles Daniel Ortega molested his step daughter.
However, when one commits genocide against Indians this is a minor matter. The intimidation of the Jewish community by the Sandinazis is also a fact. Rep Ted Wiess played stupid when he was confronted on this issue by me.
Obama is doing what Colin Powell didn't...he is striking while hot. What does anyone really know about Obaba?
He only has two years of national experience and the morons are waiting in line to declare him the new Bobby Kennedy.
Hillary is no longer the shining light in the Democratic Party. Since becoming Senator she has lost a lot of that luster as her positions become better known.
Bloomberg made his money while Kerry married into it.
Edwards will win the nomination.
AC
Edwards has not shown the inclination to explain why he is a better candidate than anyone. He is too timid to go on the offensive.
If Hilary were smart she would accept the VP from Richardson. The Clintonistas can then manufacture a scandal, but I am too cynical.
Edwards will make a good compromise candidate. Someone who all Democrats can identify at least partly with unlike Hillary or Obama. I don't see them making the same mistake twice with John Kerry or Mr. Global Warming.
Duck
The NYU speach with Gore screaming "He betrayed our country will kill any chance he had and he knows it". Moreover Hilary will knife him in the back as that is what she does.
Tell that to Howard Dean whose scream is played all over the radio.Dean correctly blames Clintonistas in the media for the ensuing mayhem. The Clintonista spin was Dean was unelectable so Gomer Kerry was pushed as "electable".
Funny thing is that treason and betraying your country does bother some people.Dean had less bagage but the Clintonistas did not lift a finger to help Gomer.
Muckraking, smears, and baseless personal attacks are Ducky's predictions for the path to victory for Democrats in 2008.
Even Ducky knows Dems are hosed for ideology.
As opposed to running a brothel out of one's townhose, or taking a 17 year old page out of the USA for nefarious purposes, Manslaughter or treason. It seems there are no standards in MA.
exposing their base as fudge packers.
You oughta know about exposing fudge packers there Mr. Feather
Golly gee!
I'd agree with Ducky but in light of his Nostradumbass predictions (100% wrong); I'd sooner bet that monkeys will fly out of his butt.
plucky - pot meet kettle.
Beak,
That's the thing about Massachusetts. Just about anywhere you go there you run into someone from Massachussetts. I don't know how the people that live there can stand it.
Ducky,
Admit it. You're just as clueless about what Democrats will represent in 2008 as the Democrats in office now are. Sorry to give you such a deer-in-the-headlights moment, but you've been a leftist how long? Surely the post office has been late with your mail-order talking points once or twice and you had to rough it? No?
Gore a viable candidate EVER AGAIN?
ROTFLMAO!!!
Brooke,
Should we tell Ducky what the #1 and #2 issues in 2008 will be, or keep him guessing?
