While Hillary Clinton rides high in nationwide polls among the Democratic candidates, the seeds of her defeat have already been planted.

A recent poll points out her problem:

In the poll, 48% say they would consider voting for Clinton versus 52% who say they wouldn't. By comparison, majorities signal they would consider voting for all other major presidential candidates or possible candidates: Giuliani (64%-36%), Fred Thompson (62%-38%), Bloomberg (61%-39%), Obama (60%-40%), Edwards (59%-41%), McCain (58%-42%), Biden (57%-43%), Richardson (57%-43%), Huckabee (56%-44%), and Romney (54%-46%).

The only way Clinton could win in November 2008 with only 48 percent of the vote is if a third-party candidate snatches votes from the Republican nominee. And that assumes that she doesn't lose any of that 48 percent.

Hopefully Democrats will realize that a second Clinton Administration is a pipe dream and opt for someone else. Obama is making a good case for this, seriously outraising Clinton so far this year.
