Hillary will be the Dem nominee and she will be elected in a landslide as the Dems mark up another “historic” election—the first black President followed by the first woman President.
...oh, I don’t know...remember that presidential election is electoral vote driven...in our current national setup, I think it impossible that the repub EV total could be less than 191 (Romney’s 206 less N.Carolina’s 15, which Gingrich or Palin would’ve lost); on the other hand, many blue states were hotly contested, including Fla (29 EV) and Ohio (18, I think), virginia (13) as well...and there are others...
...granted, most of those state are trending blue, which is a bad sign, for if they stay blue, repubs are finished...the very topic O’reilly and Krauthammer were going at each other about last night...but, with the right candidate, Her Holy Highness might not like the way things are going on election night...
...however, if forced to bet the house, I think you might be right...
Disagree. The changing demographics will turn more states purple and then blue. VA is going blue in a hurry. In Fairfax County, the largest in the state, we now have an electorate that is comprised of 30% foreign born. Similar demographic changes are happening in NC and AZ. FL will eventually be blue. NV, CO, and NM have passed the threshold from purple to blue.
Any Dem starts a race with CA, NY, NJ, OR, WA, MD, MA, NJ, IL, RI, DE, MA, CT, NV, NM, CO, MN, MI, and some others. Once TX goes, and it will go purple and then blue, then it is all over.
