28. I worry when a candidate is hyped as acceptable to Republicans and Democrats.
The candidate should make conservatives at least a little nervous (actually a lot nervous would be best, but she wouldn't get in if their degree of anxiety rises too high, unfortunately). Some other name being kicked around has that quality connected to it, and she should be kicked to the curb right now.

One thing makes me nauseated about the Republicans more than anything, though, and that is their willingness to play the race card in the first hand, not caring if it angers or alienates African-Americans, whom they've written off anyway, as long as it confuses the Dems and media and gets the red-meat eaters all hot and horny. I can just imagine that if they think an African American nominee is having too easy a ride, they'll pour some gasoline on the situation and dare each other to light a match.
