It is said that Democrats fall in love and Republicans "fall-in-line". Recent history suggests that the Republicans' discipline wins elections. Now for the first time in 2 generations the opposite is true. The Republicans have been decimated by Bush incompetence and carelessness about the travails of his own Party. The GOP primaries have the potential to be messy and the recrimination among the rank and file is likely to be fierce (Who Lost Ohio?)
Democrats are falling in line for a very good reason: Hillary Clinton can and will win the White House for them and as the top of the ticket sweep the more important congressional and Senate offices to finally get a working majority. And more than love, the Democrats, after the abuse by the Cheney-Bush crowd, want to win.
Obama is fresh and a great asset for the Democrat future, but not ready for the big top. John Edwards has an important message, but no organizational depth to go the distance. The Clinton Machine is equal to the task of winning and then governing for 8 years and that more than love is muting the criticism and building Hillary's support.

She will need it.
