There is a lot riding on Hillary Clinton. She might have a chance to do something that no one before her has done, and she might have an even better chance than we have thought.
There are several reasons that she might end up with the best shot at the white house. First of all, it is important to remember that a lot of the election is going to have to do with some of the key battleground states, which are Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. These states have been at the forefront of the last several elections, and have decided the outcome in more than a few. So far, Clinton’s lead in these states is resting around 20%, while her lead in other states is about 13%. This means that in the states that count, she is doing better.
Another thing that she has going for her is that John Edwards actually does worse in the states that matter. This is something that works in Clinton’s favor, because in these key battleground states, if her opponent does worse naturally, she has a better chance of winning the rest of the election.
Another thing that Hillary has going for her is that at this point she is very much able to convince people that she can actually do it. It is obvious that if she was in the election for president, she could perhaps win the white house, and this is leading many people to support her in the primary elections.
