Talk to me after Super Tuesday. This is very premature.

Why no speculation about the Democrats? Hillary doesn’t exactly look secure.

Agreed. But hypothetically it could be a very good thing for the GOP. If the nominees are determined on Super Tuesday there's over six months before the convention and eight until the election. If the Dem nominess is determined but the GOP nominee isn't, most of that time will be spent with the focus on the GOP race.

A lot will depend on whether the GOP contenders abide by the Reagan 11th Commandment in vying for the nomination ... but if they do it'll be an extremely interesting story that will intrigue the electorate ... and the Dems will essentially be pushed to the sidelines for 6th months. The RNC/national party apparatus would need to focus on the organization-building ... with an intent of essentially handing the nominee and their core campaign a ready national campaign organization in a turn-key scenario.

“Why no speculation about the Democrats? Hillary doesn’t exactly look secure.”

The article DOES speculate about the Democrats. But Democrats have something called superdelegates that are supposed to prevent exactly this kind of thing. Right now, most are pledged to Hillary. She and Obama could go into the convention tied in actual state delegates and she would still win by more than a hundred superdelegate votes.

C'mon... you know why. Hillary's capital is all on paper and the spin of her shills in the DBM. Obama has the real heart of the leftist movement behind him... HARD CURRENCY.
