#1 If you don't want a Clinton-Obama ticket and you don't want to see a 2012 run by Hillary (if McCain wins), then the protracted contest on the Dem side is a good thing.

#3 It is hard to imagine a Clinton-Obama ticket after the Clinton-Obama primary/caucus slugfest is over. It's going to get uglier before it's done.

If the donks can't manage their process to select a candidate, how are they going to manage the country?

The WSJ quoted Democratic strategist Tad Devine: "It would be an absolutely gigantic fight that would spill over not only to the convention floor, but the streets of Denver."

Hillary is going to push hard for the Florida and Michigan delegates despite the donk rules saying these states were disenfranchised because of violation of the rules accepted by the donk party. They tend to selectively follow the rules depending on who they advantage or disadvantage. They tend to cherry pick the Constitution as well.

How's that going to work out for you Democrats?

#5 This is the biggest political food fight since the Donks tried to pin the Iran-Contra black helicopter fiction on Ronnie.
