“I still don’t understand why demonrats think hitlery is soooooo awesome”

Dem’s have fallen into the same trap that historically has snared Republicans. That trap being to nominate the most senior person who’s “turn has come”; I.e., Dole, McCain, Romney. Let’em nominate Hillary. She’s old, and will be older in 2016, tired, fat and burned out. Besides her weight, she has plenty of other baggage that will haunt her even in this non-judgemental era....

I agree with your overall point, but I think there is a wrinkle here.

Romney was involved in politics for decades. He won precisely one election. He's not a senior person. He's not an electable person. He was just a bad, bad choice. It wasn't his turn. He didn't deserve the office. But he was "inevitable".

The GOP makes very odd choices for their candidates. I am under no illusion that the people choose their candidates through primaries -- I don't think it works that way. Romney was selected by the GOP, with very little chance of winning, and for no good reason except perhaps for the fact that he had very little chance of winning.

She looks like shit. I seriously doubt she'd withstand the rigors of a campaign, to say nothing of a presidency.
