Democratic Race

Even though I'm not American, I prefer Obama. He seems more down to earth. But as we've seen before, it takes serious work to convert political words into political progress. :hmm:

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.

You know, I had the strangest dream last night. I kid you not, for the whole night I dreamt of having lunch with Clinton and Obama, because I was supposedly their mutual friend :rotfl:Boy was there tension there! But they were both rather strong personalities in my dream. I guess it was a bit symbolic, but the more I heard of Obama the more I sided with him.

I guess that's true in reality that, well, prolonging the race should generally play against Clinton's favour. It's possible that it might be against them both in the long run (i.e. damaging them for elections), but personally I think so far Obama is really benefitting from it.

I would like Obama to win, actually. He stands a better chance against McCain than Clinton, I think. But I'm not yet certain he can pull it. I'll give it a couple more primaries before I make a firm prediction on this race

[edit]

And since I ought to answer the thread's question - well, again, I'd give it a couple of more races. But I personally don't think that with those two personalities, they'll concede to one being president, the other VP. At least not right now when it's so close to call.

I think Obama will win and Biden could be his VP.
