I doubt that they would have won by a landslide no matter who the Dems got to stand. The whole process of voting in the States is so skewed to the rural areas of the south where population density ain't as great. And that is without considering the interesting voting anomalies that occured in other places. In fact, I'll go so far as to predict that something or other will get in the way of the Dems this time around, no matter what they do about it, and no matter who stands. Which is not necessarily to imply that the next elections will resemble that of let's say for example's sake Zimbabwe. There will be a crisis of some kind, and an emergency....perhaps a terrorist attack. And all the newspapers and networks will fall into line, PDQ. And before you know it, you'll have a brand new Republican president. I'd be pretty scared if I were you, even if you are a right-wing sort of chap.
