How much do you basically consider this Primary contest, a contest for the presidency?

[Levgreee]

Meaning, the Republicans wouldn't be able to compete in the GE, the Dem candidate would be a shoe-in.

I can't help but think of it a contest for the presidency, although I know things can change drastically... but it will come as a surprise to me if/when the Republicans do become more competitive.

1. I think the Republicans can win this primary. nt

4. I think a Republican can win the Republican primary (is that what you meant?) :-)

After that, pack your bags baby its time for an embarrassment to the Repugnant party that is loooonnnnggg overdue.

5. What I mean is that

I think a Clinton victory in our primaries will mean McCain has a shot at the White House.

2. The Democrat will win this year.

That's why only the dud Republicans are wasting their time. It's their only chance.

3. I see it as a contest for the soul of the Dem party. Status quo (Hillary) vs.

change (Edwards or Obama).

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

6. It won't be a shoe-in and the Republicans WILL rally around

their candidate.

7. I'm about 90% sure of that

Most of my doubts are named Hillary Clinton.
