Hillary Clinton: still 'likable enough.'

Let me just summarize this video: Democrats are… OK with having Hillary Clinton as their candidate, but she’s not the candidate that they want.  Let me summarize it further: Hillary Clinton will lose the 2016 Presidential election, but the Democrats haven’t worked it out yet. Via the Washington Free Beacon:

I know that people will raise eyebrows at that statement, but let’s face it: the Democrats are trying to reproduce the 2008 Barack Obama phenomenon without a Barack Obama.  If they can’t find another candidate who reproduces the mass hysteria that we saw then, they don’t have a choice of winning.  Nobody has ever claimed that Hillary Clinton is the sort of figure that can produce mass hysteria: the reason that the ad below worked in the 2008 election cycle because it was true.

I know, I know: I keep getting told that Hillary Clinton is a formidable candidate. Some of that is prudence. Some of that is an appreciation of the value of money in a campaign. And some of that is the ingrown, overgrown, and generally ritualized pessimism that flowers over here on the Right. But very little of it is because people look at Hillary Clinton and go WOW. The WOW is not strong in this woman.
