I used to discount the Republican glee over an extended campagin battle between Hillary and Obama, thinking so what! The Republicans are so disadvantages this time around, Jimmy Carter could probably win another term in the White House. However, I've been getting a better idea of the possible fallout. Kristof gives us a good overview of the potential disaster.
