It might mollify some of the die hard Clinton camp supporters, sure. Though IMO it can still give off a "...no, it's ok when -we- do it see.." stink that may or may not linger the closer 2016 gets.
Quote:Yes, Hillary will probably be the Democrats candidate, unless another unknown "Obama" is out there ready to be catapulted above her again. The Republican's problem is which of the mostly extremely chauvinist (original meaning), bigoted, white, male candidates will be selected to oppose her. Granted, there are some women, and some non-white people on the list.
Anything that appears like a foregone conclusion coronation, instead of an honest (even if just for appearances) contest for either party can backfire though could it not.
Last I looked most USofA-ricans don't particularly like the idea of "divine right of kings and or queens" and such. I think you guys might have even fought a war over it a long time ago or something.
