I don't think any of the three options is valid. I can only offer anecdotes from my voting in Bethlehem NM. Obama buttons outnumbered Clinton buttons by a 2-to-1 margin and even the stray Republicans who wandered in by mistake said they were votong for Obama if he's the dem candidiate. That included the life-long thirtysomething white lady Republican barber who cut my hair after I voted.
My prediction for a likely Dem VP would be our own governor Bill Richardson who would help secure the Hispanic vote as the first Hispanic VP. Obama would be wise to consider him as well with Richarson's foreign policy credentials.
