The Dems seem likely to have more money than the Repubs. That buys a lot of attack ads to drive up the negatives of the Pubs and a lot of soft and fluffy ads to drive down the negatives of Hillary. Throw in a billion dollars worth of puff pieces from the mainstream media on Hillary and this won’t be a cakewalk.
Notice no war experience has come up in this campaign. What I have is a distinct memory of is Hillary with Russert...after we started for Iraq: "It is the policy of the Democratic Party to get rid of Saddam". They were hoping to use the attack on Iraq as "their idea" from the beginning.
