I don't know how this debacle will end but if there is one thing I'm sure about, it is this: The states that Obama have won to "rack up" delegates will not be in the Dem's column in November. This more than likely explains why there has been no call for Hillary Clinton to "drop out" since Junior Super Tuesday. The week before, every Obama surrogate and potential endorser (Kerry & Richardson), among others, were pressuring Clinton to "step aside." Since then, they have all been silent on the issue. Why is that? Because the Super delegates are pragmatists. They know that Obama has not been able to win any Big Blue state. They were all set to throw their support behind him and end the race but they are once again in a "wait and see posture."
I am not among the majority of Democrats who believe the Clinton/Obama ticket will be a "dream ticket." I get the sense these two individuals dislike each other so I'm not surprised Obama has responded with scorn. The Samantha Powers comment illustrates what I believe is the overriding feeling in the Obama Campaign toward Hillary Clinton. Besides, he's too ambitious to settle for the VP position since he's decided to run this early in his career instead of doing the job he was elected to do. I also don't see Hillary Clinton being any one's VP, unless that person is "her" VP.

Obama is responding with scorn about a possible VP ticket. I'm sure since neither can get the required 2025 delegates, barring a catastrophe, I suppose it warrants consideration.
