More "forking" it over to the Republicans by Hillary Rodham Clinton (from Chicago Tribune) ;

"I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it's imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold," the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant's bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.
(now the kicker......)
"I believe that I've done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you'll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy," she said.

Dear Anon,

I think there are two major issues that will decide this election: national security, which is the Republican way of saying "war" without saying "Iraq": and the economy.

The bottom line will be simple. If the Democrats can hammer on the economy, and if the economy is in the tank, the the Dems win. If something happens to bring national security to the fore, then the Republicans win. Easch party owns their respective issue.

As we get closer to the November election watch how these two issues mutate and take on various forms, but make no mistake, war and the economy will decide this election.

Best,
TRM
