I guess I'm not the only one dreaming of a Clinton-Obama ticket.
Doesn't sound like Obama shares the dream, though.

About Me
- eudaimonia
- As noted on my bio page, along with the fact that I will occasionally wear a scarf, I work in the communications/media industry. In my other life, I am a grad student and (eek) poet. I live in state-sanctioned holy matrimony with a person of the opposite gender, but we find it more romantic to play like we're just shacking up. Actually, we've been together about 10 years as of today. Politically, I'm a registered Democrat who sometimes votes Libertarian, still mourns the death of the socialist project and thinks Arlen Specter is kind of cute (in that curmudgeonly grandfather kind of way.) Metaphysically speaking, my closest fits right now are secular humanist/religious trivia buff/failed mystic. Re: all this about the Golden Mean, etc., I wish I could say I knew my Classics (much less geometry) inside and out, but what I dig I dig.

Is there any conceivable scenario where Clinton wins more delegates than Obama without superdelegates?
If not, are you comfortable with having your nominee chosen by a few hundred power brokers?
Honestly,
1) Certainly possible but only just barely conceivable. Some real sh** would have to go down, and nobody really wants to see that. At least I don't.
2) No, I'm not comfortable :( Hence the ambivalence.
The Clinton-Obama ticket would be a way out, but it's a pipedream because neither candidates want it. The voters, emphatically including myself, want it in theory, like Victor Frankenstein wanted a gentle companion with superhuman powers.
But I'm still here for the duration. Well, within limits. If it really does go to the convention, I might have second thoughts.
