I will support the nominee. femmocrat Feb 2014 #1

Conventional wisdom never saw Obama coming. Sanders/Ellison 2016. idendoit Feb 2014 #15

Sanders isn't a member of the Democratic Party. Historic NY Feb 2014 #32

She is same old same old. SheilaT Feb 2014 #2

Maybe we just have a sense of reality....nt Walk away Feb 2014 #4

Sense of reality? SheilaT Feb 2014 #5

Like I said...we have a sense of reality....nt Walk away Feb 2014 #9

I concur, Hillaray is the Dems best chance for 2016. c588415 Feb 2014 #12

Amen! BlueDemKev Feb 2014 #13

No, she is not. SheilaT Feb 2014 #20

Good luck with that. It's a popular opinion here but most Democrats... Walk away Feb 2014 #48

Well if Hillary is not your choice for prez, c588415 Feb 2014 #61

LOL!!! Beacool Feb 2014 #38

Yet in the real world it's Clintom 92% and Warren 8%.... Walk away Feb 2014 #3

Warren is just my dream ticket 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #6

Yeah, but DU is not the real world. Beacool Feb 2014 #8

And let's not forget all of those Independents for Warren... Walk away Feb 2014 #10

I like Warren. Beacool Feb 2014 #11

Oh, Hillary wants it... elzenmahn Feb 2014 #16

The Democratic party better hope that she wants it. Beacool Feb 2014 #39

It's not about liking. My personal beliefs are more in line with Warren's... Walk away Feb 2014 #49

In all fairness to Warren, neither did Obama in 2008. Beacool Feb 2014 #50

Not Hillary...please. Oldenuff Feb 2014 #17

No one in the party will listen for the simple reason that she's popular Beacool Feb 2014 #40

If not Hillary, then WHO?? AverageMe Feb 2014 #81

NOT Queen Blue Dog. blkmusclmachine Feb 2014 #18

I voted NH, Jamaal510 Feb 2014 #19

maybe because this poll doesn't name a contender 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #35

It's because DU is an alternate world. Beacool Feb 2014 #41

Here's why Hillary should be President: MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #21

You start. Enthusiast Feb 2014 #22

She was a senator and SOS. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #24

What great legislation did she initiate as Senator? MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #25

About the same amount as Warren, Obama, and Sanders. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #26

Warren created the CFPB, beat MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #30

Has she gotten legislation passed? I am asking because I don't know. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #31

No, she hasn't. Beacool Feb 2014 #42

Thanks. That does not mean I don't like her but... hrmjustin Feb 2014 #43

I like her too. Beacool Feb 2014 #44

Agreed! I think Hillary would be the better candidate and president. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #45

So she's less qualified than Adlai Stevenson was? n/t Chan790 Feb 2014 #63

Do you think she is qualified? I do. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #64

I do not. Chan790 Feb 2014 #66

She was mine as well. Who is qualified? hrmjustin Feb 2014 #67

No idea at this point. Chan790 Feb 2014 #68

I think she will be the next president. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #69

She was first to call out the right wing conspiracy. joshcryer Feb 2014 #73

Love Hillary! hrmjustin Feb 2014 #23

I will not let the Whitehouse be ceded to the GOP in 2016 beachbum bob Feb 2014 #27

That's pretty much my thought too at this time. n/t RKP5637 Feb 2014 #33

the problem though is 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #36

We're fucked then because my main opposition to her is that she's a dead-lock to lose. Chan790 Feb 2014 #65

I'll vote Hillary if she gets the nomination. However, BenzoDia Feb 2014 #29

I'll let my signature do the talking here. n/t Laelth Feb 2014 #34

A Hillary (or for that matter a Warren) victory in 2016 flies against the typical reaction to change left is right Feb 2014 #37

Not Hillary. bigwillq Feb 2014 #47

Buck up!!! Beacool Feb 2014 #51

Interesting...what policy positions had you reaching for the clothespins? TheKentuckian Feb 2014 #59

Your vote will cancel out mine and we will all live happily ever after (nt) bigwillq Feb 2014 #83

She is defintiely not my first choice gopiscrap Feb 2014 #52

Not. Just like I would never have supported Reagen or Thatcher or Mulroney Whisp Feb 2014 #53

How'd this work out for the "Not-Romney" candidates? JoePhilly Feb 2014 #55

Golly, I thought this was a discussion board... brooklynite Feb 2014 #60

liking Warren does not seem to be an issue to me 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #74

...but you want her to run, even though she can't win. brooklynite Feb 2014 #75

I wouldn't expect her to run unless it looked like she had a chance 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #79
