For someone as ridiculously political as I am, I just don’t buy the conventional wisdom that Hillary Clinton is not electable. With her $29 million dollar bankroll for her re-election campaign, she seems electable to me. She scared Rudy out of the race in 2000, and she drew a challenger that out raised her and she still beat him by ten points. Now, on the eve of her biggest electoral triumph to date, people are still singing from the same Hillary-is-not-electable-hymnal. I don’t understand. Help me, somebody.
