Do you guys think it's an oversimplification to say that Hillary's popularity is owed primarily to her last name? Democrats (and more importantly, independents) who loved Bill and wish he could serve a 3rd term, would be voting for the next best thing? Maybe hoping/expecting her to preside in the image and style of her husband?
It seems to me that Hillary's chances depend less on "the issues", and more on whether she can capture and maintain the "Clinton vote" to the extent that it can overcome the inherent limitation of trying to make history as the first woman president.
