She will need to run tough. SHe will be as hawkish as possible, without upsetting the anti-war activists too much. But upsetting some of them is a risk she's probably willing to take, because they won't be worth a damn in a general election anyway.
It's an unfortunate double standard, but in order for a woman to run for this office, she needs to be Margaret Thatcher. If she's mean well than she's a bitch. If she's sweet and soft spoken then she's too soft to lead. She can't be too cute, and she can't be a bitch. Hillary handles this fine line very well, but her campaign will constantly be keeping this in mind.
I think Edwards has the labor union crowd right now, but they'll fall in line behind whoever the candidate may ultiamtely be.
