… Polls show Hillary Clinton to be a prohibitive favorite for the Democratic nomination; an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted earlier this month showed that 86 percent of Democratic primary voters could see themselves supporting her candidacy. But there are also forces of human nature that will try to chip away at that seeming inevitability. Those Democrats in early states, believing it was ordained in the Ten Commandments, the Magna Carta, and the Constitution that they be the screening committee for the nation, may well bridle at the suggestion that anyone’s nomination is a fait accompli, at least before their state has weighed in. CONT.
