Just a quick note. Should Hillary have been the nominee, she would have a more insurmountable problem of winning the GE. For starters, the AA backlash would have eroded any chances she would have, because the nomination would have been perceived as strongarmed by loyalist party insiders than the Democratic vote. Secondly, Clinton has a huge huge negative rating in the electorate on points of trustworthiness as well as past Clinton era baggage. Thirdly, new young voters would leave the political scene altogether. Fourth and not the least, Hillary women who are indeed Democrats may be disappointed but eventually would vote for a Democrat, Obama. Would they really want 4 more years of Bush in McCain. There are women for Hillary who are Repubs. That number would vote for McCain anyway.
