NOW, THAT'S THE TICKET

In case you're interested: in the 19 states where both Democrats and Republicans had elections yesterday, there were 73% more Democratic voters than Republican voters – 14 plus million for Clinton and Obama to 8 plus million for John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.

With the democratic hopefuls drawing so heavily from all populations and classes; black, white, hispanic, asian, gay, straight, young, old, poor, male, female, middle class... seemingly every racial and socio-economic class, it bares the question....

Hillary and Obama wave good bye to any hopes of electing a Republican President.

Just how unbeatable would a Clinton / Obama ticket be in November?

In order to unite the Democratic Party in November, will Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have to be on the same ticket?

If Clinton wins the nomination for the Democratic top spot, she would be a fool to place anybody but Barack on her ticket, and she would have absolutely no qualms in doing so. If Obama wins the nomination, he would rather have a rectal exam by the Incredible Hulk before he puts the Clintons (yes, plural) into his ticket, but he may have to. For one thing, they pull a huge amount of voters wherever they run, especially among young, first time and formerly apathetic voting groups. Another factor, this race between the two has been spectacularly divisive in nature. And with Mc Cain being a RINO (Republican in name only), it wouldn't take a U-Haul for some centralist Dems to make the short trip over to the extremely liberal Mc Cain. That is of course, if the voters could stomach the distinct possibility of the permanent installation of American military bases, and a modicum of permanent forces in Iraq, which are already being built at great expense as we speak.

Let me put it into raw numbers...Here is how Super Tuesday really turned out for each party...

Clinton 6,967,305 + Obama 6,835,447 = 13,802,752 votes

Mc Cain 4,800,000 + Huckabee 2,400,000 + Romney 4,100,000 = 11,300,000 votes

There is no getting around the numbers, the Dems are onto a really good thing. As long as they do not let the Clinton skeletons in the closet scare them. And they are there, folks. Bill made an awful lot of money in an awfully short period of time. And that doesn't even take into account his post-Pres philandering. That being said, there is no doubt that the Clinton / Obama ticket is still a sure winner...as long as neither of them fail to put their petty differences behind them and do what is best for the party, and the country.

Makes sense?

Here is another viewpoint, by CNN's Roland Martin

1. "Clinton will not be overshadowed by an underling. Clinton is hugely popular in Democratic circles, but truth be told, that pales in comparison to the love and affection showered on Obama.

2. Obama would not want to carry Clinton baggage.

3. Way too much bad blood between these two during this campaign.

4. Being No. 2 is unthinkable for Clinton.

5. With Bill Clinton serving as consigliere to a President Hillary Clinton, Obama would be on the outside looking in.

Now, as a way out, I would expect to see these two on a ticket only if Clinton is the nominee and they run the numbers and determine that the best chance of winning would be with him. She wants to be president that bad and would discount the bad blood. Then they would hope he accepted or accepts it. I just don't see any of it happening.

This might be seen as a dream ticket, but it is not a match made in heaven."

One thing is for sure, this is a very difficult time, and it is critical that the Dems get in, but....let's not underestimate the Democrats ability to screw up an election.

And that is the world... "According to Kimba"

thanks for reading....and voting
