Hillary Clinton’s landslide win (and there is no other way to describe it) against Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary proves, if nothing else, that she MUST be on the ticket with Obama or the Democrats will not be able to capture the White House.
It wasn’t so much that Clinton led Obama as of this writing by some 40 points–but that two of every 10 white voters, says Reuters, said that race did play a role in their decision making.
And, only about one third of those people say they will cast their ballot for Obama in order to prevent Republican John McCain from winning the general election.
Race
Are white voters who say they support Clinton but not Obama racist? Perhaps. But no more so that the overwhelming number of black voters who say they will not support Clinton should she get the nomination over Obama.
Talk about polarizing politics!
It should be clear to anyone with an IQ above 2 that a Obama/Clinton ticket is a must!
It is also a no brain-er.
Obama will get the nomination, despite the Clinton victory in West Virginia, but he will need her and her supporters to beat the Republicans in the fall.
In short, they deserve one another!

1absolutely no chance in heck, charles. i no longer want clinton anywhere near an obama-led ticket, and many of her supporters agree with me. he’s radioactive and headed for a likely defeat in the GE. and after his repulsive campaign to paint the clintons as racists, and after everything he’s done to trash hillary and bill, i would respect hillary less if she accepted the VP slot. in fact, it’s offensive to even push the suggestion.
she’s still in the running, and the fact that our thoroughly corrupt media is trying its damnedest to shove her out only makes her supporters more determined to see this all the way to the convention. please don’t tout the obama-clinton ticket anymore; it really is offensive and insulting to clinton supporters like me.
