1. Wait till the campaign starts and their base gets mobilized

Polls don't show shit now.

2. Resistance is Futile

All your votes am belong to Mrs. Clinton.

As a side note - by how much do you think will Mrs. Clinton win the general election if Nader or somebody else who favors actual Democratic principles enters the race? 99%? 98%?

3. So Hillary does better in FLorida than either Obama or Gore...

I know a midwesterner who won't like this....

4. So HRC does 14 points better than Obama against Ghouliani

He will only get weaker if he wins the nomination and the right-wing machine attacks him consistently. HRC has been savaged by the right-wing for years and will more or less remain at her current level in the polls.

5. all we need is florida and ohio

and to hold the kerry states.

It makes the rest of the south and the west irrelevent. But of course, we will be competitive in selective southern and western states to add more proability of victory. But in the end, we only really need ohio or florida.
