**EXCERPT**
RICHMOND, Va. - Barack Obama holds a 16 percentage point lead over Hillary Clinton in Virginia heading into Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary, according to a statewide poll.
A survey by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. of likely Democratic primary voters showed 53 percent supported Obama to 37 percent for Hillary Clinton.
Among likely voters in the Republican primary, John McCain was the choice of 55 percent with Mike Huckabee backed by 27 percent.

I agree with your point, but keep in mind that even as recently as a few days ago Virginia was seen as something of a “toss-up” in the Democratic race. If these numbers are even close to accurate I have to admit I’m quite suprised.
So what if Hillary gets Obama as her VP, the other way around I doubt if Obama would need her highness to win the election.
I think that means that Hillary’s core is ignorant Caucasians, like the trailor-park dwellers she and Bill like to attack. Ironic, isn’t it?
“I think four years of Hillary would be less dangerous than Hussein Obama.”
So does Ann Coulter:

Correction McCain not Obama.
It was supposed to be a coronation!
If Hillary gets the nomination, I predict a 100 percent probability that she will have Obama as the Veep on the ticket. This would be the strongest dem lineup, hard to beat but possible in my opinion.
I don't think Obama would need Hillary either, but I still think he would lose the general since he is more Liberal than Mondale or McGovern and also there is the race and Muslim issues.
You don’t designate a party affiliation in Virginia. So when you go in, you will be asked if you want the Dem, or GOP ballot.
Sorry, only one.
I had misunderstood your post and thought you were saying you could vote for both a dem and a republican...and I thought, whoa, now, that is REALLY different. ;^)
