Does A Strong Obama Showing In The South Increase The Chances Of A Clinton / Obama Ticket?
Just wondering. There's been no huge coup win yet for either candidate, but if I had to say what impressed me it is Obama's ability to show so strongly in the south.

If Hillary takes CA tonight, I would say we are looking at a H/O ticket.

As somebody who voted for Obama, I'm kind of bummed he hasn't really pulled a single surprise win (yet)

1. I'd say
at least it gives Hillary a reason to have Obama on her ticket --and visa versa

2. I'm not sure Obama wants to be part of a losing ticket.

6. She will have to because the exit demographics tonight are
not in her favor.

Obama is CRUSHING her in:

1. Young vote
2. African American vote
3. Not Crushing but winning the White Male
4. "Change" concept

What it tells me is that there are a great many people who simply will stay away in November.

10. I don't know about carrying the south

But if indeed Hillary does win putting Obama on the ticket will keep young voters and independents voting with us. It expands the electorate to our favor.

11. God, I hope not...
Let her superior ass sink or swim on her own. She probably hasn't even begun to realize that she has a bigger problem in AA community than Obama has in the Latino community. I don't know how she fixes that by the GE.

If Obama's supporters (independents, blacks, young folks) stay home, she's sunk. I don't care how many "Latinos" she pulls out of her ass.
