If Kerry was distasteful, Hillary may be even harder for the majority to swallow and they might realize that after this recent and resounding rejection of liberalism.
John Kerry, not geography, may be the death knell for ol' Hill. I'd say the Demons are going to have some serious in-fighting.
The bottom line is America is not ready to elect a woman president. Men would turn out heavy against her heavily on both sides, and a good number of women wouldnt vote for her. Hispanics alone are still very patriarchal and would never conceive of a woman president. And does anyone think those coal miners and steel workers are going to look her in the eyes and believe she is empathetic to their needs? And I'm not even begining to talk about foreign affairs and waging the battle againts terrorism. The military would completely reject her. When a woman does finally win, it will have to be a conservative one. It's much less threatening to Americas core ideals.
