#1 48 years ago the Dems picked a candidate who carried a lot of baggage, both pro and con. His running mate was about as different from him as it was possible to be and still be in the same party, but Kennedy needed Johnson to win (steal) the election.
I figure if this gets to the convention with Clinton even, or slightly ahead on elected delegates but needing superdelegates to get the nomination, a deal will be made for Obama to be the VP candidate. (If Obama leads, he'll win the nomination and not need to make a deal.) A Clinton-Obama ticket will be hard to beat, and Obama provides a nice 'life insurance' policy for Clinton.

#2 I can't see a good ending out of this. Best case scenario: we have a hot-headed frat boy leading the country using some kind of quasi-conservative paradigm.
