Charlie Cook, one of the most respected political experts in the country, believes Hillary Clinton has only a 25-30 percent chance of running for president, and in any case he thinks she is either “rusty” or “she has lost her fastball.” He bases that on her disastrous book tour, in which she said some very inappropriate things and also did not sell many books.

A few months ago, I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary was running. Lately, however, I'm not so sure. There was the lackluster book tour, with a few gaffes (such as the "dead broke" comment) along the way. Not a single Democratic candidate that Hillary campaigned for this year was able to win. I suspect that many Democrats see her as someone whose best days are behind her. Those Democrats looking for a "historic" woman candidate now have an alternative in Elizabeth Warren. As a result, Hillary is faced with a tough choice. On the one hand, her enormous ego is still telling her she's entitled to the presidency. On the other hand, she can't bear the thought of running for the nomination a second time, only to be rejected by her own party yet again.

Hillary Clinton is the John McCain or Bob Dole of the Democrat party. The only reason for her to get the nomination is that it is her turn.

So far Hillary has been able to keep other big name Democrats from jumping in by keeping the media repeating the mantra that it is inevitable that Hillary will get the nomination and be elected President in 2016. But now, even the most cool-aid drinking Democrats are starting to question, why would anyone actually want to vote for her?

Rumor has it the Clintons were so toxic on the campaign trail that Chelsea is begging them not to campaign when she starts running for office....
