Default Re: Strategy for Democrats

Hillary has been very visibly 'moving' right for quite some time now, basically since Bill left the White House. The health care thing was one of the biggest planks in their platform and well known as her pet issue... now she has dropped it since they got crushed on it and nobody supports it. Even to a lot of Democrats it feels like posturing, and of course the right LOVES it because they've been accusing her of coveting the presidency for over a decade.

Add to this that she is a woman (no chance), that her husband was impeached and she will be tied to every scandal in that White House all over again, that she is a Senator and they typically fare worse than state-level executives, and that she is from the northeast, and you pretty much have a recipe for losing an election that the Democrats have no business losing.
