40. I think the party will coalesce around Hillary if she is the nominee.

And I think she will win, perhaps handily. My bet is on Mike Huckabee to win the Rpublican nomination. Hillary can trounce him, possibly even winning Arkansas.

I don't think the campaign here against Hillary is too bad. And people do tend to change their minds once the primary voting is over. I didn't like Obama in 2008, but I voted for him in the GE. Now I like him a lot and think he has been a great president. I'm glad he has been in the White House for the past 6 1/2 years--can you imagine if it had been McCain or Romney?
