This may prove critical. Women are more likely than men to turn out to vote - and more likely to vote for a Democrat. In Iowa, that Democrat was more likely to be Obama, giving him a victory and momentum going into other states. In a Lifetime/Zogby poll last month, a quarter of New Hampshire female voters said they'd base their choice on the Iowa results.

In order to be elected, you have to get the nomination of one of the two major parties.  Since its a less than zero possibility that the Repubs are going to do that, she needs to get the Demo nomination.  That's not looking good either.

I doubt he would take the demotion.

But, what is cool is that in the last few weeks, I've been a part of a dialog about race, gender, and religion - not to mention war, economics and values - that is truly enlightening.  The US is taking to each other instead of talking at each other, at least at a one on one level, in a way I've never seen.  I can only hope that no matter what, we come out of this long national nightmare a better country.

and who's to say that the sister and brother can't run together?  Hill and Obama, hard to beat when you look at a the map, no matter who is at the top of that ticket.
