You are too conservative, John. I think a ticket with Obama and Hillary would indeed increase the probability of victory in November. However, will it increase the quality of the the Presidency over the next 4 years? That's the key question. I would argue that Hillary would increase Obama's chances from 60% to maybe 70% in the fall. However, I think she would also bring with her a virtual certainty that the next 4 years will be focused on divisions within the American people, Clinton scandals, and the million little ways that Hillary will stab Obama in the back. We'll all be so distracted by the massive National Enquirer fodder that will be part of that joint ticket, that real progress in this country will be difficult to achieve. So I think it would be a colossally bad idea to have a joint ticket. And I would rather take the gamble on Obama with no Hillary, so that we can have what we deserve over the next 4 years. I'm sick of morally bankrupt people and Hillary is just as bad as Bush when it comes to that. Both are power hungry and will stop at nothing to get their way, even if it means to lie, cheat, and steal. Enough is enough.
