Perhaps it's a little too early ... but Hillary is miles ahead of any of her dem competitors for the presidency. She may be polarizing ... but she's got name recognition up the wahzoo. Many democrats like her, and plenty of republican women will vote for her as a woman. Don't count out the number of people who already look back at the Clinton years with wistful longing. Bush has seen to that. A vote for Hillary in the White House is a vote for Bill in the White House ... a fact not to be underestimated.
I don't particularly like her ... but she'd have to completely self-destruct for me not to vote for the first women candidate I could stand. For a person who thinks all presidents pretty much suck, the chance to make an historic mark weighs more importantly than mere issues. (And, heheh, the first First Lady to become President and the first President to become the first First Gentleman, all in one fell swoop, is a nifty historical presidential precedent, too.)
