If we have a unanimous candidate after 2014, like maybe Marco, wouldn't we be better off than going through a treacherous primary like last time. Where money and energy is sapped we wound up with only a few weeks left to counter all their lies? If she has four years to prepare and fund raise and we windup with a contentious primary we really don't have a prayer do we?

I don't it really matters who our candidate is or how we select him. We have reached the tipping point demographically. The Dems have a permanent majority.

Some states like VA and Ohio are talking about allocating their electoral votes by Congressional District and then awarding the two votes from the Senate to whomever wins the majority of the congressional districts. It would help the Reps in swing states offsetting the huge Dem advantage in urban areas. It is a stop gap measure but could help us in the short term.
