Who will be the Democratic nominee for President?

[Winston]

Thanks.

1152x768, not that I think it has anything to do with resolution. More likely, it's a matter of what style one uses to view the forums. I use the default/heavy style FWIW. Yours is the only location field that's causing "trouble" at the moment, and I believe there's only ever been one other that did.

Edit: Problem is solved now.

It'll probably be Hillary, more's the pity. Ignoring that, hard to imagine the GOP winning in '08; but confronted with a likely Hillary nom, it is practically in the bag for the Reds.

I'd prefer Edwards, Richardson, Vilsack, or Obama.

I used default/heavy as well, and no problems.

Hillary - I'm assuming she'll have the most money and therefore the nomination.

Actually, Hillary said something interesting the other day: "I'm the candidate the Republicans are most afraid of, because Bill and I are the only ones who know how to beat them, and we have."

I actually think that may be true. People keep assuming Hillary will lose because people don't like her. But you win US elections not by being generally embraced, but by defeating your opponents. That may be her ace in the hole.

Bill beat Bush 41, who didn't have the same tactics behind him that Bush 43 has, and Bob Dole, who never had a chance.

Political climate is much different.

Hillary's easily the biggest threat to the GOP. Obama's way too liberal to win the general and the other Dem nominees don't seem that threatening.

Exactly. Forget "likeable candidate" or "inspiring candidate." Which Dem best deserves the label "formidable candidate"? Hillary, surely. I'm not sure anyone else even gets close.
