No. It just proved that you actually have to run a competent campaign. There is no sure thing.
Do you think she's learned anything in 8 years or does the Party have to ensure that she has no opposition for her to win the nomination?

She learned. So, did the folks around her.
I'd like the Party to run a Midwest governor against her just to be sure.

Doesn't matter; the other side is so preoccupied with its own self-destructive idiocy the dems could run Chelsea and win.
They might be able to run her in the Kentucky Derby and win.

What happens when you don't have looks or brains?
Better to be like Michelle Bachmann or Sarah Palin and have great looks and the brain of a three-year-old, I guess.

Great, but is the Party encouraging competition? From what I gather, they're not.Anybody. 2008 was a great race that produced the best general candidate. Do it again. If she wins this time, vaya con Dios; if not, it's because the candidate who beats her is stronger. Natural selection.

By the time the debates were done last time the Dems could have run Clint Eastwood's empty chair and won. Hell Obama could have gone on TV dressed as a Black Panther, smoking a joint and speaking like a Blacksplotation film and won. The GOP destroyed themselves and it was live on every channel for the world to see.
Maybe I was unclear. Will the Party countenance any opposition to Hillary in 2016?
And should we be starting a Campaign 2016 thread?

Yes, and yes.
It will have been 16 years since Bill's presidency. The Clintonista faction is strong in the party but they're incredibly old. Their rhetoric is old. Their tech outreach is non-existent. They throw money at problems but they have no energy. Even the people who are arguing for Hillary on Dem Underground, Kos, etc and doing it from a purely tactical POV. The only people who find Hillary in any way inspiring or energizing are 48-year old women managers at Wall Street firms who still read Camille Paglia. They're the walking dead.
In terms of organization and strategy, the Clintons are Republicans running in a Dem primary. They have a big Rolodex dominated by wealthy establishment donors... hey, wait a minute...
I've got it: Hillary should run as a Republican! She's farther to the right than Bush Sr., she's the darling of Wall Street, and she thinks like a Republican. And the Republicans would have a candidate with a functioning cerebral cortex for a change. Everybody wins!
