Experience also matters to Ms. Hertzog.

“It’s not that I don’t like Barack,” she said. “I just don’t think he’s seasoned enough.”

According to exit polls conducted by Edison/Mitofsky in the states that have voted so far, 57 percent of voters 65 and older have supported Mrs. Clinton and 36 percent have supported Mr. Obama. Most of the Clinton voters say they want a candidate with experience.

Interesting...so you did not choose him for his ability to lead a country, that is what I thought...and supports my position that you are an enabler of bad government.

At least you are honest enough to state other reasons than ability...

I finally settled on Obama because of his ability to attract young people into the political process and his ability to increase participation by the African-American community. While attending a political caucus, I heard a retired African-American lawyer stand up and say that when he was in elementary school and they told him anybody could grow up to President of the US, he never believed them until the Iowa caucuses. I want every black child to grow up thinking that he or she can succeed in life.

Could there still be a Democratic dream ticket?

7. When Clinton first started talking publicly about this, she was seen as audacious -- a trailing candidate suggesting that the front-runner take the vice presidential nomination. Now there are some Democrats who now believe Clinton may be open to the possibility of running on a ticket as Obama's vice presidential nominee.

But the prospect that once thrilled many Democrats now appears less appealing to top strategists. That dream, wrote one Democrat, disappeared "somewhere along the road from Akron to Altoona." The two campaign staffs don't like one another at this point and by the time this ends, given the escalation of attacks the past few days, relations could be even worse. Mark Kornblau, who was traveling press secretary for John Edwards, called an Obama-Clinton ticket "a nightmare" for the party. Another Democrat said putting Clinton on an Obama ticket would rob the senator from Illinois of his "change" message. Others said any deal over a dream ticket would be complicated by the role of Bill Clinton.

"Obama and Clinton could still run together -- stranger things have happened in American politics," a fourth Democrat wrote. "But I'm not sure I would call that the 'dream ticket.' At this point the dream ticket would likely have the name Gore at the top."
