Obama is done. And I’d be willing to bet so is Hillary. I wonder how the party is going to boot these two and for whom? There is very little doubt in my mind that that is EXACTLY what will happen in the fullness of time.

As a candidate for election in November, Obama clearly is done. Ain't gonna happen.

But as a candidate for nomination in Denver, he's still the frontrunner. it's not like Obama's supporters at the convention will be a bunch of middle-class white Republicans . . .

I don't see how neither Barack nor Hillary gets nominated, far more likely both will be. And if McCain were to play his cards right and nominates a black conservative, I see no likelihood at all that Obama isn't on the ticket constituting a sitting duck of a target for the Republican VP candidate.

There are only a handful of black conservatives with nat. recognition. the most obvious being Condi Rice.

She has been very clear in stating that she wants no part of the ticket.

Therefore I hope McCrazy picks a conservative. I don't really care what color his/her skin is.

“I don’t see how neither Barack nor Hillary gets nominated,”

It may be that the degradation of the Democrat party has fallen to a point below the power of my imagination to follow. Hillary? Obama? As president? I just don’t see it. Neither of these persons are even remotely presidential. They can’t win against even as lame a candidate as McCain. Though, as I said. the fault may be with my imagination. In the last election I couldn’t understand how the Dems could win since the Dems hadn’t given anyone anything to hang a vote on beyond BDS.
