anyhoooo...........personally I think it takes two things to get elected -- money and machinery. All else (ie, appeal to southern males, testicles, moral center) is a matter of convenience but not ultimately a determining factor. Godzillary has both money and machinery, and no other candidate can match her.

and still, the basic question is 'if not the lesbian lizard queen, then who?' I simply can't see any other candidate matching her, or it as one may prefer.



I don't think I'd say unseen in national politics -- just unmatched amongst the current field. It's a fair point to say that others have not yet put their machines into motion...but then again, if these other candidates were Godzillary's political equals they would have their machines in motion.

cheers

I don't think they are "deciding factors", its just the simple fact that a having a woman as a candidate is actually a hinderance in a general election for the Dems, while it would be an asset for the reps to run a woman.
