Reply #5: I definitely think the MSM and the Republican party is trying to set her

up as the "unbeatable" nominee who's destined to lose to whatever POS the Republicans nominate in 2008. Is the DLC in on it too? Don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I do know that I'm sick of having my nominees chosen by a bunch of white Iowans activists. The Iowa/New Hampshire "birth-rite" to go first should be replaced by a rotating system allowing more representative states the opportunity to go early. The entire "frontloading" of the primaries has effectively destroyed any chance of the people having a real voice in the process. Whoever wins Iowa/New Hampshire today is virtually unstoppable. Thats not a system that often leads to a successful nominee.

I reject anyone attempting to cram any nominee down my throat, be it the DLC, the Republican thugs, or the media. Give some serious attention to the other candidates and let the people decide.

Sadly this will never happen. From the moment Hillary announces, all eyes will be focused on her campaign, every word written will dwell on her mis-steps and "unelectiblity" and Warner/Edwards/Clark/Feingold et al will be ignored as "also-rans". By the time she is nominated, she will be running 20 points behind whatever neanderthal the other side nominates.
