If she goes all the way in the primary, she will win the general.
I have no idea why you are so worried. She has no plans for changing the corporate swagger, so that makes her a player both can live with.
Like Biden, Kerry, Dowd, et al, Hillary is a member of the Joe Lieberman Club.

She is not worried about the rabid right, as she as well as other pols realize they now define themselves with their every yahoo hip shot, and that's a spiral downward these days.
