Here are the top 10 reasons Hillary doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell:

1. Being the quintessence of a flipflopper, she’s far more chameleon than true leader, watching the wind far more than stirring the currents, especially regarding Iraq.

2. Name recogniition by this time has, like a carton of old cottage cheese, exceeded its expiration date. (Just ask Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson and Newt Gingrich about that syndrome)

3. Her voting record is an agenda that prompts running from not running on.

4. Since she is genuinely smart (you can name the truly smart presidents on both hands and still have fingers left over) there is an enormous conspicuous gap between potentiality and actuality, mostly because she’s cunning and self-motivated and rarely dedicated to the public arena.

5. Having inherited her husband’s allegiance to the Contract with America, and the concominant loyalty to limited government that is Republican in nature, she is torn between personal amibtion and political compromise, which in a more soulful individual would produce a kind of Shakespearian tragedy, but in her yields nothing more than misspent talent.

6. The gender issue, arriving at an untimely phase of history, will prompt female support and reactionary male animus, dividing a country that needs to be united to recover much of its lost glory.

7. Since she takes herself so seriously, she’s blatantly humorless, and doesn’t have the kind of endearing qualities that candidates like Reagan and GW have exhibited, which, in a country that overvalues personality, is a distinct deficit that becomes more obvious over time.

8. Her brassiness, which, of course, will register as "ballsiness" among right wing commentators, appears to the naive as the kind of strength that GW projects when in fact it has more to do with egoism and rudeness, which wears thin in a long campaign, especially among the insiders who have to work with her.

9. Because she’s alienated herself from many of her Democratic colleagues, she won’t have the kind of support she needs if she wins the nomination.

10. Her character, which appears to be rock hard from the outside, will show its flimsy nature once she finally faces the kind of merciless attacks she deserves, and hasn’t hesitated from delivering to underlings
