all of this talk about 'electability' (or lack there of) glosses over the fact that she...more than anyone...has the best chance of threading the needle between the 2 major factions of the party.

shes a lefty...she seems/talks mainstream/moderate...and shes great at presenting new/complex ideas for people to chew on.

she obviously has progressive policies...but has that educated air about her that suburban moderates are attracted to (plus the family/employment policies). shes pro-labor/consumer (for the white working class) and whenever she speaks in front of a black audience (particularly with women) she kills it with her authenticity when it comes to racial justice.

shes a grownup bernie (c) me lol.

i think we got sidetracked by the pocahontas stuff but now people are getting re-acquainted with the stuff that made her a rising star in the party in the first place.
