Poll question: Obama and Clinton on the same ticket
It occurs to me that the two leading candidates face a problem in expanding beyond their base of support.

Obama needs to do better among Deep Blue voters in closed primaries and caucuses; while Clinton has to prove she can pull independent voters in the General Election. Both of the Goals are important.

This sort of begs the obvious question. Combined as a single entity, they are a juggernaut The problem is that they are two people. So what about a ticket? Everyone put there partisan claws away for a second and put aside who should lead it. I am genericizing the question

However I would proudly vote for an Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama ticket.

3. If They Finish A Close One And Two
If they finish a close one and two and number one does not at least offer the vice presidency to number two it will badly, badly fracture the party... You will have a lot of alienated women or a lot of alienated African Americans...

It's a risky ticket but life is about risks... You can't steal second base with one foot on first...

4. You do not think the acrimony will be too much if it close
or goes to convention deadlocked?
