Of course the GOP will use Sexism, even if they were to nominate a Liz Cheney/Sarah Palin ticket.

Hell, they would use every sexist insult in the book, invent a whole NEW book, and THEN say "we are not sexist, we have female candidates, who of course, are REAL women who are not fake ones like Hillary."

That being said, in the primary, and yes, there will be a primary, it would not behoove her supporters to repeat 2008 where some people that simply did not want Hillary was called a sexist. The good and bad news about the name "Clinton" is that it carries a meaning, just as the name "Bush" or "Kennedy" does.

I personally would love to see Kathleen Sibelius and/or Janet Napolitano run, especially as they both are former governors that made in in Red country, and both did great jobs in the Obama Administration. The fact that neither of these two are being mined for at least Veep status is shocking.
