You should know how these campaigns go. You never know how it will turn. If there's something the media can latch on to, they'll repeat it over and over as gospel.

What I think is the biggest potential threat would be the effect of our nominees stirring up right-wing voters who might have just sat this one out because of their own lackluster field. Nothing more pernicious than voters who come to the process against something or another. You have to take notice of the phenom last pres election where record numbers of KKK Karl-coerced republicans trumped the record numbers of Democrats who showed up.

Maybe doubling the challenge isn't as smart a strategy as diluting it.

I've got to wonder, though, just how far we could advance as a nation if we were successful in selling a minority-minority or a minority-woman ticket?
