Clinton-Obama, Obama Clinton. Those who have studied Presidential elections probably are coming to the same conclusion as I. Unless the ticket is Clinton Obama or Obama Clinton the damage to the Democratic Party will be considerable longterm. That is not to say that Obama or Clinton might get elected simply because for example, in January both Obama and Clinton each raised about 130 million each to McCain's 50 million. So if you add both democratic candidates donations in January you wind up with at least 260 million to McCain's 50 million which is over 5 times what the republican candidate raised. However, that is not what I'm addressing here.
If either Clinton or Obama is left out the party may take 20 to 30 years to recover, I believe. Just like the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war has bankrupted the US treasury and harmed the republicans thereby, in a similar way if women or blacks are denied their candidate then there WILL be Hell to Pay within the democratic party for years and years to come.
