“”I don’t think this race will go all the way to the convention. If Hillary wins Pennsylvania by the same margin she wins Ohio (and the demographics of PA are very similar to OH) then I think the party leaders will step in and the superdelegates will anoint Hillary as the nominee with Obama as the VP. And that will be an extremely tough ticket to beat.””

I’m worried that the momentum change that occurred last night will mushroom and that Hillary will win the nomination outright before the convention). I know that she is about 130 pledged delegates behind Obama and has a lot of work to do, but I have seen what happens when momentum shifts. One thing that happens is that some voters will vote for her simply because she is closing on him and they want the decision to be made quickly.

I have a sneaking suspicion that those who want a convention fight aren’t going to get one.

Michelle. She can be sold as Big Mama Michelle Obama.ought to be a huge hit, complete with her inane whining.

Nope keep her in the race. They will cut each other up. 1968 all over again, and that year the Dems NEVER united. Trust me, those back-room Dems don’t want a woman or a black, and just might make the decision to throw it to McCain.

Just rmember 1968.

Your are right. A significant percentage of Democrats would NOT vote for a black man on the top of the ticket.

But that percentage would drop drastically if Hillary were on top of the ticket and Obama on the bottom.

Plus, it's hard to argue with the fact that thousands and of NEW voters, mostly urban and young college pukes, have registered in 2008 just because they want to spit in the eye of the establishment by voting for quasi-muslim "free college, free food, free everything" commie-lib Obama.

Right here in my county, the number of NEWLY registered Democrats just TODAY pushed the Dems OVER the number of registered Republicans for the first time in the past 40 years. (the Board of Elections confirmed the numbers)

Yes, I agree that the old time Democrat rank and file, the union members, blue-dogs, etc will NOT elect a black man for President .....

Which is why Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, and others should have just let Obama win on Tuesday....

Now, Hillary will come back from the dead..... she will select Obama as VP (and yes, he will accept).... and all will be hunky dory in the Democratic party again.

Don't kid yourself. The desire of the liberal wacko Democrats to defeat the Republicans in November will trump their reluctance to support a black man or a woman......

In the end, Democrats care more about getting power than they do the security and prosperity of America.

Obama will NOT take the VP position..

Could not disagree more.

Perhaps a conventional US Senator or a veteran white US Senator would not want to be VP.

But Obama will take whatever he can get, considering that he is the first viable black US presidential candidate, etc.(Just think, several years ago, Obama was mucking it up on the streets of Chicago trying to scrounge up payments for his pet sewer projects, etc.

Now, in the VP slot, he would suddenly be ONE HEART BEAT from the king of the world.

As VP, Obama could secretly push for the impeachment of Hillary.

As VP, Obama would be privy to the most sensitive terrorist intelligence in the world. Can you imagine. THAT alone would make him the envy of every terrorist, radical Muslim, tyrant in the world.

Obama WILL accept the VP slot if that's what it takes to get into the White House.

Obama sees this race not as his duty to protect and improve America.

Obama sees this campaign as a way to tear America away from the great EuroCentric society we've been, and instead push us into the multi-cultural world of the UN.

Nope, even white male DEMOCRATS will not vote for a ticket that has a black ANYWHERE on it. And white men PERIOD would not vote for Hillary. Look at her exit polls, she gets CREAMED with men, especially white men. Also, Hispanics will not vote for a ticket with ANY BLACK on it. The longer Hillary stays in the race the better, as these two nitwits are cutting each other up. A donnybrook at the Convention would doom them. A riot would be the icing on the cake. When it happened in 1968, the end result was...NIXON.

[societygirl]

Obama, and his nutcase wife, see this campaign as a way of DESTROYING America. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/03/05/michelle-obama-america-just-downright-mean

I truly hope your scenario is correct.

However, I have a bad premonition that sHrillary and Obama (due to threats from the DNC powers-that-be) will eventually back down from their suicidal course..... and agree to some deal.

It is also likely that the DNC powers-that-be will go to Obama behind the scenes and tell him that he had better accept the VP slot ...... or else they will destroy him politically (through media leaks, or by cutting off money and infrastructure, or by refusing to allow him to caucus with the Democrats, etc)

Yes, Obama would at first be livid.

But Obama seems reasonable enough (more so than Hillary) and I believe he will cave to the DNC pressure, and will ultimately urge his followers to get behind a Hillary/Obama ticket.....

More than 98% of the loyal Obama worshipers will follow his advice and support the ticket, which will be stronger with Hillary at the top than Obama, for sure.

[societygirl]

It is. Hillary will NEVER back down, and doesn't care if she takes down the entire Democrat party with her, AS LONG AS SHE CAN WIN. If she doesn't win she doesn't care if she destroys the Party's chances. People don't realize, that th Clintons are NOT Democrats. The could care less about Democrats. There are only about THEMSELVES.
