She'll get left support because the other option will be whatever religious nutjob the tea party forces through.
Why would you vote Hillary Clinton?

If she gets the Democratic nomination, I'll vote for her unless she really manages to annoy me with her policies. Given the state of the Republican party, even former moderates like Mitt was forced to swing toward the crazy to secure the base.
If I have a choice between tolerable and terrible, I'm going with tolerable.
Or I drink the Kool-Aid and go 3rd party.
If Hillary does get the nomination, basically her entire campaign will have to be some variant of "I'm the best you guys have, and unless you want that nutcase elected you had better vote for me".

She can win a general. Unfortunately, I doubt Warren could. Not sure who else really is popular enough right now.
Biden would be a mistake IMNHO.

I can't imagine Biden not torpedoing himself with some half-baked comment
the man is George W Bush with hairplugs
Then again if you get Obama off the teleprompter he starts talking about giving asthmatic kids their breathalyzers so that happens to a lot of politicians

That is not the worst Obama quote. He also claimed there are 57 US states, and that his grandfather was in the normandy invasion (iirc). He comes off as pretty bizarre when the teleprompter is out.
Other Obama strange quotes, from http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/barackobama/a/obama-isms.htm:

Those are slips of the tongue, not really "strange."
I have read bigger gaffes in recent Greek short fiction.

No, his grandfather liberated Auschwitz.
Even better
Maybe he was sent there in the break he had from working on the Manhattan project.

That might be worse but the 57 states comment shouldn't be considered a big deal compared to most gaffes. He clearly meant 47 and he even said he had 3 left to visit.

Most gaffes in general can be ignored unless you're GWB or Biden because it's hilarious.
I also think it should be termed a 'gaffe' only if the person involved is not consistently idiotic.. W/Biden are merely up to their normal standard. But that isn't the issue; the issue is that somehow it is spinned as 'funny' to have such politicians in the top positions, when in reality it is scary.

Aren't they the same person?
Iirc the antichrist is at least supposed to wooe the public? So post his great nobel prize i doubt Obama can be tied to that role; an 'o' from the verb is now missing 
Also, outside of gnostic theologies, i think Satan=Devil=Antichrist anyway (?). In older theologies there is often a very clear distinction between the Satan and the Devil, the former being higher up but less conscious an entity than its (the latter) underling
