Is it just me or is it about time for the Democrats to put down the crack pipe and begin thinking seriously about a candidate who can be elected president? I am not a Democrat, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend and it is therefore troubling to see the straight-faced-ness with which a Clinton/Obama ticket is being discussed.
Admitedly, it is a nice fantasy: That we live in a society in which the racist, bigot/chauvinist pig vote doesn't count for much - but it is fantasy none-the-less. If the Democrats were to wrap a volleyball in a grey suit and paint on a mustache it's chances would be no worse than Mr. Obama's and Ms. Clinton's. The nomination of these two - regardless of their fitness or lack of fitness for the office - would be as great an achievement in intellect and foresight as our present misadventure in Iraq.
