Politically, and regardless that neither one of them will relish the arrangement, the Hildabeast will have no choice but to ask Obama to be her VP if she gets the nod, and he will have no choice but to say "yes" ("my country calls," "we want to put political differences behind us," blah blah blah).
So not only will the Klintoon era not end, the Obama era will concurrently begin.
If Hildy is defeated now, her and the Sinkmeister lose most of their power, even if they are not kicked off the national stage completely.
Even if Obama were then to win the general, at least we would be rid of the pernicious Klintoons and, two, on his own, Obama might be stopped in terms of creating for the Rats a long-term hold on power.
IMHO, the worst scenario for the country is a Hildy/Obama ticket, but I see it coming.
Boy, won’t he be surprised when she does it again. Like most self-absorbed personalities, she will see that she can “get away with it”, and will repeat her performance. Maybe not this week, but soon, when things get tight again.
Obama backed down first. He was probably afraid of the Clinton Machine.
