No, won't happen.  Obama's got some f the nastiest, sharpest guys in the business behind him.  He'll choose Edwards, Biden or Richardson if he does, indeed, win the nod.

No sense in giving the Reps a reason to get out and vote.

Not to mention Clinton's crack-smoking madrassa election tactics.

As if having an African-American candidate isn't going to be enough...
(I suppose it would be a bonus to the repubs to add Woman and Clinton to the pack though)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Race, in my view, is actually going to be an asset against the Reps if Obama is the nominee.  Hear me out, and bear in mind that I am ET's resident God of Democratic Predictions now from 2006 to tonight's outcome. ;)

I think there's a good chunk, maybe up to 25%, of Republicans and clear Republican-leaners who would really like to put the GOP's racist past behind them.  And I think Obama appeals to them on top of that for various reasons.

Everyone's worried about race and gender.  Maybe it's my occasionally contrarian tendency, but, to me, it's so unbelievably obvious they are assets that I can't understand the fear.  I could be wrong, but I don't think so.  It's not 1980 anymore, and America is not Philadelphia, MS.  The numbers just don't add up anymore for the GOP.

I don't think he'll choose any of those three. Richardson maybe, or Dodd. But Biden has too much baggage and Edwards was a loser VEEP candidate in 04.
