HOW . . .

. . . did this seemingly prevailing conventional wisdom that Hillary is "unstoppable" in 2008 get started?

She'll be a 1.33-term Senator in 2008. And a former First Lady who tried to be a co-President and got shot back down to making cookies every time she tried to set policy. (That's not a slur on a stereotype; it's a literal truth. She bombed miserably on national health care, and next we heard from her, she was sharing cookie recipes.) This is not a resume made in Heaven for the Oval Office.

Where is she all that in tune with the nation on policy, either? Better question yet, in those areas where she might be (at least by position-taking in the Senate), how's she going to get past the MoveOn and DailyKos types who currently rule the Democrats from the radical Left? There's already talk in those circles to head off her candidacy.

My feel of the sitauation, today, January 8, 2006, is that she won't get the nomination.
