If Soetoro is still a viable candidate in 2012 then the Press and the Democrats will, indeed, choose the Republican candidate because large, perhaps overwhelming, numbers of Democrats will re-register as Republicans to vote in the Republican primaries. The Republican primaries will be especially targeted by Democrat vote fraud organizations like ACORN or whatever acronym it is flying under at the time. We need for Mrs. Bill to mount an insurgent campaign against the Kenyan to keep the Democrats in their own primaries. At the same time Hilarius in actual contention is itself a scary thought tempered by the knowledge that insurgent winners of nomination against incumbent presidents have not heretofore won the ensuing elections.
However, if Obama is a possible, but not sure-thing, candidate for the 'Rat nomination, it will be great fun to watch liberal heads spin as they try to decide to stay 'Rats and protect Obama, or re-register as republicans to throw the 'Pub nomination to Palin, who they believe could not possibly win the general.
Hillary vieing for the nomination could only make it more entertaining!
Do they sell popcorn futures? LOL
