It's really very simple....
If we nominate Clinton, we will lose. Period. Kucinich is more electable than Clinton at this point.
The bulk of the Republican base right now is exhausted and demoralized; only their true believers, the ones who wouldn't vote Democratic ever, really care about their candidates right now. The Dems can steal that base by electing somebody who promises to do things differently -- which is the one thing that Clinton cannot ever believably promise to do, no matter how sincere she sounds; it's just not something ex-Republicans will believe her capable of doing.
Her candidacy is a mistake. She wouldn't even make a good Vice-President for Obama, because she's not scandal-free and doesn't bring much experience to the table.
