Yeah, but they first must get past their respective primaries.

The dem snake will find it easy, as the libs don't have a visceral connectivity, they merely want to win at any and all costs.("Those are our planes now").

R's generally do a little siftin', and many don't show up as a protest, in their minds (rightly or wrongly) being more important than who's planes they are.

However, if a candidate presents himself, that does indeed connect viscerally, they get the population under the bell and probably one std deviation on either side, and most of the people on their side of the curve.

Demography is destiny. The Dems are fast becoming the permanent majority party thanks to our legal immigration policies that import hundreds of thousands of Dem voters annually. In probably a decade it won't matter who the candidates are, the Dems will win regardless.

Right now, the Dems start with an enormous advantage in the electoral college. When you look at the 2012 electoral results, it is difficult to see what states Hillary or any Dem would lose that Obama won.
