Political analyst and Democratic pollster Doug Schoen tells Newsmax that Hillary Clinton is "the front-runner on both sides" if she decides to run for president in 2016.
He also opines that Republicans are making a "political mistake" in backing a bill to defund Obamacare.
Schoen is the author of the book "Hopelessly Divided: The New Crisis in American Politics and What It Means for 2012 and Beyond."

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Monday, Schoen assesses a potential White House run by Clinton.
"First, there is legitimate concern and indecision," he says. "It's a big decision. She served a long time as secretary of state, four years in the Senate before that. So she has to decide if she wants to go through the rigors of the campaign."
"But that being said, she's the front-runner on both sides if in fact she decides to go do it."
"I don't know if it's all but certain, but I do see her running. She'll be elected, and she's on the odds-on favorite as we talk today."
As to who from the GOP could challenge her, Schoen says: "There are lots of Republicans but I haven't seen a front-runner emerge, and the Republican strategy has been less than ideal."(continued)

That’s great, Doug, because she is so far down at the bottom of the barrel that she is actually the congealed scum under the barrel.
Douglas Schoen is a board member of the International Crisis Group along with George Soros. Need I say more?
It is interesting that I could find this information about Schoen quite easily. However, I could not find anything about his marital status. Is it possible that he is gay? He looks gay.
Just the ones that didn’t Vote for his Republican Opponent I would guess.
It’s difficult to beat someone when you don’t get more Votes than they do, so Obama is now the King.
If people didn’t Vote against him, they certainly can’t complain about what he is doing.
I think they call it “arithmetic”.
Doesn’t matter what she’s accomplished. Like Obama, it’s what she IS:
1. A Clinton (like it or not, Bubba is adored in this country)
2. A woman (even some erstwhile “conservative” women dig this)
3. A leftist democrat (aligns with the center-left orientation of the country)
If she runs, she’ll win... big. Only two wild cards exist to inhibit her path to the White House: If the dems trot out a shiny new rock star in the form of a Hispanic (Julian Castro comes to mind), or if Hillary is felled by a crippling medical event like a massive heart attack or stroke.
Correct. We’ve crossed over the line where we now have a majority of the population that can vote itself largess out of the treasury. The takers outnumber and outvote the makers. Representative civilizations always fall after that, to be take over by a dictator.
A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.

Agreed.
Maybe that’s why the rest of the country seem so happy - they have no clue what is happening to our country; they just focus on entertainment, etc.
