Yeah, I thought a few months back that Evan Bayh would be Hillary's VP choice, but now, assuming she gets the nomination, I think she will have to take Obama to keep peace in the party. I also think that a Hillary/Obama ticket will be formidable in November, and the odds-on favorite to win.
I doubt it. They are both too liberal. Add to that the loathing that at least half the country has towards Hildibeast. Many, both Republicans and Democrats, would crawl through broken glass to prevent Hildibeast from winning anything. I think the Dems only chance is Obama, without Hildibeast. People don't hate him, so many who would otherwise vote for McCain if Hildibeast was on the ticket, might stay home.
