Not the Hilary and Mitt we know now, but the reshaped, re-messaged Hilary and Mitt of 2008.
So it's a little difficult to accurately foresee what a contest is like between two people who simply don't exist at this moment.
All this negative stuff about Hilary is actually free campaigning on her behalf. The bar will be set so low for her, that all she'll have to do is not bite off a baby's head, and people will say "Oh, she's not as bad as they said she was"

Agreed there. there is a campaign against her for the lat four years at least. I think if she uses Bill properly and just goes with a 'Clinton back in the house' alot of people will just go 'It wasn't that bad the first time'. Obama is a cracker of a running mate.
Bush has created a disaster for the GOP which the next candidate on the other side is going to have to distance themselves from.
It's not over by any means. The republicans have to pull out a candidate which has an unqualified following and not rely on the anti-clinton faction. The Dems tried that for Kerry, it didn't work. The GOP doesn't seem so joined up at the moment Bush's admin is tearing up the party abit.
So nothing can be decided until the candidates are choosen. If they are dudes for some reason or other then the possblity of a third could come...
America should allow a single transferable vote in that case. It is very undemocratic if some could win with over 60% voters hating your guts
