If Hillary Clinton wins the 2008 Democratic nomination for president and has the tactical good sense to pick Governor Bill Richardson (NM) or Senator Barack Obama (IL) for her running mate (the former is a better choice), the next POTUS will be a Democrat. Most Democrats and not a few Republicans will be unable to resist the historic implications of having the first woman and the first minority ever heading the executive branch of the US government.
So when all you conservative Republicans finish fighting with each other, you might want to take time out to consider how you will handle such a state of affairs.
