No. We should not do that. We should have a vigorous primary and see who the best candidate is. Her middle east views need to be discussed so that we can be sure she wont make the same mistake twice and i am worried about her hawkish views. We need to ask questions and get some solid policy from her and see who else wants to run. I suspect we will have a good selection to choose from and if someone can beat her, they deserve our vote as long as they are not a conservadem.
