Both perhaps. I personally will be happy with either candidate. I voted for McCain (I vote Dem in the real races) in the primaries under the premise that I vote for the person I like the most on the other side, if my side loses its still hopefully win win. The hurdles I see for the GOP are many

I don't really like the way she got nasty when things weren't going her way. This is what probably caused her to fail, rather than focusing on a vision for the future she choose to do the easy thing. This shows a lack of fortitude, which is a requirement of the presidency. I really don't think
