I strongly feel that while Senator Obama will be the Democratic nominee, Senator Clinton has earned the first right-of-refusal on the VP slot. Yes, she has lots of baggage (lots of old, some new - like Bosnia-gate) which the GOP will exploit and re-expose to the hilt, in addition to other negatives ("Bush/Clinton" repeat ad nauseam, "old politics" etc.). But she's also a very hard-working campaigner and a great debater/excellent attack dog. And with her on the ticket, Senator McCain will effectively be fighting two Presidential nominees, even if one is in the VP slot.
Of course, the flip side is that the GOP will use her own statements - "He [McCain] will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Sen. Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002" - against the Democratic Presidential nominee...

The morning after Junior-Super Tuesday!
The previous post might have sounded like a sore loser - but hey, those stories about prejudice against Senator Obama came out in the press before March 4, and I had written about one other, similar story earlier as well! [That's my fig-leaf, and I am sticking with it!]
Anyway, on to my adopted US-home state, Pennsylvania! Not forgetting the Wyoming caucuses and Mississippi primary in the next week, of course, both of which Senator Obama should win. In the mean time, I went through my earlier posts to see what I had written... and I guess one prediction came right (Senator Clinton would not blow-out Senator Obama in both Texas and Ohio), while another apparently has not (Senator Obama could win either Texas or Ohio by a whisker) - thus far, only 36% of the Texas caucus precincts have reported results.
Here are my previous posts:
Predicting the race will go to Pennsylvania, on Feb 8.
Senator Obama has to win one of the big three (TX, OH, PA).
On how things will stand on March 5 - posts on Feb 12 and Feb 13.
And now, Senator Clinton is back to the "dream ticket" idea... with her on top, of course (no pun intended!) Again, something I had written about earlier (along with many others, to be sure). I still think the person with most delegates should be the Presidential nominee...
