hurting each other


There will be no dream ticket for the Democrats.

As time goes by, Clinton and Obama seem more and more incommensurate in terms of political style. At one point, Obama-Clinton made sense but no longer. Clinton-Obama would be a nightmare for Obama, since Bill Clinton would be de facto Vice-President. If Obama is somehow not the nominee, he should return to the Senate. If he really wants to be President, he can run in 2012 against either Clinton or McCain.

Clinton needs Obama more than Obama needs Clinton, since she'll have to win over the Obama supports who are turned off by her negativity. Clinton's recent comment that semi-endorses McCain over Obama is an indication of how much Clinton wants the nomination and how far she'll go to get it.
