Exactly. And if they both were to run she'd beat him in the general. . . . finishing second and third.

In reality that would work wonderful, but I have seen nothing of substance from Obama showing that he's ever willing to be a uniter. All I've seen is talk. He has never once crossed party lines, and thats no action of a uniter.

He does not need her because most Hillary supporters are not crazy fanatics, I assume, and will vote for Barack.

When I went to my state's caucus, I overheard a conversation between two women (white, gray haired women, btw) that were holding Hillary signs. Barack overwhelmingly won at that particular caucus. The women were bummed that Hill didn't win, but agreed that all that mattered is that they support a democrat and get one in the White House.

That's pretty much how this is going to play out.

Bill, on the edge of her bed, not making any headway and looking at the clock, gets an idea. "Honeh, your followers, the folks that support you and trust you...what's gonna happen to them?

"If you let 'em all slide over to the other side, why honeh, you've tacitly indicated that you don't actually care about all the principles you've fought for all yore life! Women's rights for one.

"So baby lamb, just get up and dry them big booful eyes and do the right thing. If you'll excuse me I've got to get to the tobacconist's before they close."

He needs her?

Put Jim Webb in the VP slot and Hillary will soon be a memory.

My feelings exactly. It'll be like when Regis teamed up with Kelly Ripa. Within a week people were saying "Kathy Lee who?"
