Finally, someone states the obvious, for the record:

Forgive my lack of political correctness, but if you're already pushing the envelope on breaking new ground, you're not going to undermine your chances of winning by upping the ante. If Obama wins, he'll likely choose an older white guy with foreign policy experience. Like Joe Biden. Hillary needs someone who actually wants the job despite the prospect of Bill lurking in the West Wing. Like Evan Bayh.
Their recent kissy face debate performance notwithstanding, let's not forget they hate each other. If Hillary wins and actually offers it to Obama, he would probably take it and who knows, I could be wrong (and often am) and maybe he helps. If he wins, NFW he puts her on the ticket.

The Shotgun Wedding: It Ain't Gonna Happen
The Biggest Election Story No One is Covering
Two words: Michigan and Florida. Family feud between democrats as these two states try to cut in line and have their issues addressed (“the economy, stupid” in Michigan and hurricane insurance in Florida, to name a couple), the party says none of these votes count. Not that Florida has played an important role in deciding who will be President in recent memory, so by all means, let's go ahead and disenfranchise millions of people.
When the dust settles, it's looking increasingly like neither Billary nor Obambi will have the 2026 delegates need to win the nomination. That means those "meaningless" votes that Billary picked up in Michigan and Florida may make them "the Deciders." It also makes those 800 super delegates potential kingmakers. And what about Edwards delegates? Can anyone say "brokered convention?"
The Mitt Hits the Fan
Despite garnering an amazing 100% of the comedian/political cartoonists' vote, Mittens lost in the South, in the West and in the East, but yet I'm torn over the potential loss of Mittens from the race. For the health of the country, I yearn for the body politic to drive a stake through the heart of the Romney campaign, but would suffer an overwhelming sense of loss if deprived of Mittens schadenfreude.
