Washington Is Hillary Rodham Clinton inevitable?

That question arises Friday because top Clinton supporters are meeting in New York City in a prelude of sorts to more intense political activity aimed at 2016.

Leaders of Ready for Hillary, a big super PAC that is not officially linked to Ms. Clinton but is preparing the way for her possible presidential bid, will join representatives of other Democratic groups to review US politics following the midterms and plan for whats next.

Everyone has a lane. We are going to work together and seamlessly so theres no infighting, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Ready for Hillary adviser and co-chair of Priorities USA Action, told the Associated Press in advance of the meeting.

Hillaryland wants Clintons road ahead to be open, of course. Fighting off serious challengers in the primaries would be hard, expensive, and risky.

And Hillaryland may get its wish.

Yes, some opponents are beginning to stir. Ex-Sen. Jim Webb has already formed an exploratory committee. Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont hes an independent who would presumably switch his registration back to Democrat is hiring campaign staff and mulling a run. Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley has dispatched staffers to Iowa and begun amassing cash.

But look, these guys have very little chance of winning. Clintons dominance of her partys presidential field at this point is historically unprecedented.

She is 52 points ahead of any other Democrat in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) rolling average of major polls. Fifty-two points! Thats crushing it.

And the second-place Democrat in question is VP Joe Biden, who may not run if she does. The third-place contestant is Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who insists shes not running. Clinton is 61 points ahead of Senator Sanders and 62 points ahead of Governor OMalley.
