But, I am not naive enough to think either is electable in this day and age. Folks, the nominee will be whomever the financial powers that be decide they want to be the lucky dupe that gets their nod. We voters will be allowed to think that we are actually taking part in this wonderfull farce we call a democracy. It's all a game and what we think or want means zilch. Hilary will be our nominee. By the time the next election rolls around we'll all be so beaten down we won't even care. Sorry to be so cynical, but we are are not calling the shots here.
