I don't believe that Hillary will be the man. I think Obama will be the Dem candidate. The Republican Party (imho) strategically and tactically speaking is about where the Dems were in 1980...Dems lost. The Republicans can win but only if they get it together. If they do not, then Hello Obama! If anyone doesn't get that, save this note and reread after the elections.
For the Republicans, it's time to get in step and work out ideological differences in the platform and after the elections. United we stand and can win...divided we fall...an old saying but probably very true for modern Republicans.
