3. Supporting anyone over Hillary in a primary would be a complete and total waste of time and effort.

There are only so many times you're going to be handed a juggernaut built to roll over any possible opposition in the general and nearly guarantee that the GOP is kept out of the White House for another 4-8 years. I get wanting the ideal Liberal candidate but *nobody* else in the field comes within shouting distance of Clinton's viability. With a megaphone. And a 20 foot tall bank of speakers.

If she runs it's a done deal barring something happening between now and '16 which somehow renders her electorally damaged in a huge way. There is no Obama equivalent in the making right now that could possibly go up against her and have a shot in hell. (And nobody say Warren. Yes she's awesome, no she wouldn't have a chance at this time.)
