The last few elections have been very interesting, I think this one will be too for it's own reasons.
I honestly believe Hillary's campaigning over the last few weeks will hurt Obama if he wins the nomination.
At this point if Hillary does pull off the impossible and gets the nomination.
The only way that is going to happen is if the super delegates decide the outcome via a lot of back room dealing, which would split the Dem party.
It would essentially tell the black vote, most of the youth vote and the majority of western Democrats, the Democratic party doesn't care about them.
That's not my personal belief, just the way I see it playing out.

Something I'm keeping my eye on is who the VP will be as I see that decision as being more important in this election than any other in my lifetime.
For the democrats, the VP choice will be an attempt to heal the damage done by not having a candidate going into May.
Regardless of who wins right now, either choice between Obama or Hilliary is going to result in a lot of bitter dems.
The VP will be whoever can heal the split in the Democratic party.
I think it will even be more interesting on the Republican ticket.
The most obvious reason is McCain's age.
No one talks about it, but the feeling is he will probably be a single term president.
The power players in the RNC are hinting at Sarah Palin as a possible running mate to McCain.
I think a McCain/Palin ticket would be the best the Repub's could do.
A women VP could possibly steal a lot of the women's vote from either Obama or Hillary.
Sure she's only a VP, but that would put her as incumbent in 4 years
A women on the Republican ticket could also steal votes from Obama/Hillary from people who were not voting party line but based on voting for a change ( black man or women ).
Something that hasn't got much press is the fact, while Hillary got a large bump from the women's vote, she doesn't really poll that well with them.
If people like that compared Palin to Hillary, I'm pretty sure Palin would come out the winner.
Palin could also help swing some of the youth votes, she is only 42 not to mention attractive.
You have to admit there would be a lot of benefit in having a real person on the ticket, in place of a lifetime politician or someone in the pocket of special/corp interest.

I think the perfect VP candidate for an Obama candidacy is Retired General Wes Clark.

You guys are going to think I'm nuts, but I have incredibly strong memories of staying up late during the start of the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions just to listen to him discuss the situation with CNN's Aaron Brown. It was perhaps the most illuminating television I've ever witnessed. Others weren't so impressed as CNN canned Brown, a move that completely astonished me. He was kicked to make room for Anderson Cooper, someone I'd detest to this day if it wasn't for the way he comported himself in the Katrina aftermath.

Clark would bring a lot to the Obama ticket, he has been an ardent supporter of Clinton and would be the natural conduit between those two warring parties, he brings incredible experience and amazing skill from the Bosnia conflict. His military skills and foreign policy skills are precisely what Obama needs to fill out the ticket.

Oh, and did I mention he isn't 1,000 years old either? LOL!
