I’m afraid you are right.
“This all could backfire if they both go on the ticket. In other words, this all could be theater.”
My democrap Mom was Obama crazy but when I asked if Hitlery won the nomination she said “well, she’s got experience” right the day after calling her a b***** and really saying she hated her. In the end I fear the two on a ticket, or just Hitlery and her winning. God forbid!
But I’m voting straight REPUB ticket in November, I will do my part to prevent the end of America.

I don’t see any upside to that.
Whether Hillary or Obama is in the VP slot is irrelevant. Which ever candidate loses in the primary election could still end up as the other's running mate in the general election.
Meanwhile, anything we can do to force Hillary and Obama to spend money trying to defeat each other (and drive a bigger wedge between the Dem party and its traditional minority voters) is to our advantage. The more money and effort they expend fighting each other, the less money and effort they'll have left over to use against McCain in the general election.

I’m not so sure. There’s a saying I like that goes something like this: once the dance number has been decided upon, all the rest is just choreography.
I think this is going to end in a Clinton/Obama ticket when the day is done. The rest is just, well, choreography.
She won 28 to O’s 19.
Texas only had a total of 47 delegates???? Last I read it might be days to tally the caucus votes.
Michelle Obama is the real one to fear. Hussein is just following her orders!
Now that's funny!! LOL.
It’s a lose-lose. If Obamba wins, he’ll beat McCain, however, if Hillary wins, she’ll beat McCain, and if McCain wins, it still sucks.

You make some great points.
Regarding Clinton and 3 am phone calls.
I have been going through piles of old newspapers from the ‘90s, and have been surprised to see how much the Clinton White House had to deal with aggression, skullduggery, lying, and cheating by Saddam Hussein. Many bombing and reconnaisance sorties were flown against him during that administration. So HC has probably been there for more than a few 3 am calls already. Even if she did not make the final decisions, I’ll be she took part in the discussions. So she knew what a b#$%^&^ Saddam was when she voted to give Bush negotiating room. There is a very major difference between HC and BHO.
"She hates Barack. Wes Clark will be the VP."
You could be right, but the phrase 'Politics makes strange bedfellows' is more truth than poetry. One situation that comes to mind is the JFK/LBJ ticket. There was no love lost between those two, but for the sake of political expediency they formed an alliance.
1) The Texas Dems allocate 2/3 of the delegates based on the primaries, 1/3 based on the caucuses. That is, the primary vote outweighs the caucus vote 2:1. With nearly al the primary votes in, Hillary has won 51%-49%, a margin of 3 points. If Osama pulls off a 6-point win in the caucuses, then Texas is effectively a tie.
B) Hillary and Obama got more votes each in Texas than all the Republicans combined. Obviously, Republicans have less incentve to get to the polls and rubber-stamp what is basically a done deal, but Democrats have gotten much bigger turnouts throughout the primary process, and it's worth some concern that the "enthusiasm gap" will carry into November (in fact, if you read nothing but FR, it looks like a certainty).

“You’ve identified the problem: helping Hildabeast get the nomination doesn’t get rid of Obama, it simply moves him to the VP slot and, eventually, back into another White House run as an incumbant.
I don’t see any upside to that.”
My sentiments exactly. Edwards and Kerry weren’t exactly friendly, but they were matched up. She can’t afford to lose his votes. The only way his supporters won’t feel “disenfranchised” is to have him on the ticket.
It’s entirely possible that the Beast still has “associates” in the FBI who are quite willing and able to provide files on demand. If the FBI has a file on Barack Redacted Obama, it’s a safe bet that Hillary has it too.
lol.... You better make that in disappearing type, her friend our nominee will NOT accept such ugly language against his friend
