How Voters Think

[Joemailman]

Huckabee is winning in the south tonight, which probably guarantees that Huckabee will be McCain's running mate. McCain will need him in the general election. With the numbers of new voters that the Dems are bringing in, the Repubs can not assume a clean sweep in the south in the general election.

I do not think Huckabees strong showing means he will be the VP. Whoever the presidential nominee gets to choose his own VP. McCain might be wise to ask Huckabee to be his VP in the fall to get all those states in the Bible belt.

He wouldn't be a bad choice. Boy would it piss the party establishment off, though, the Country Club Republicans don't much like him either.

Clinton's having a decent showing so far. Obama needs to win Connecticut, so far he has won only states in the Eastern section of country with high African American population: Deleware, Georgia, Alabama.

Bottom line, I'm convinced the winner of California will win the nomination, and we won't know that until midday tomorrow. I'd bet on Obama, he really surged in the last couple days. There are a couple wild cards that could help Hillary: 2.6 absentee ballots were cast mostly prior to Obama's upswing, and Hispanics are voting (so far this evening) very strongly for Hillary, there's been zero erosion of her support. Most analysts thought Barak was making inroads with Hispanics.
Come on you beautiful brown people! Hillary loves the Mexicans!!

You too? I thought they were aliens. Turns out they were just illegals hired by Hillary to collect my DNA to predict my voting tendencies.

I knew there was nothing that woman wouldn't resort to.

Arizona called for Hillary.

I am very nervous about Cali. I'm feeling a big number for Hillary.

Your last sentence is what I was suggesting. McCain may well pick Huckabee as his running mate to help him in the south.

Chuckie T on MSNBC has the delegate count at 841-837 (margin of error +/- 10.

Tonight was undoubtedly a tie.

That's because they are both equally terrible candidates!

How do we get Obama & Clinton together on a ticket?

The analysts say its a dumb move, too much total risk with two tradition breakers, no geographical advantage with Illinois and New York already in the bag. I see things in emotional terms, both of these candidates have such passionate support.

Clinton clearly gains politically as a candidate with Obama as her VP.

Clinton's value to Obama as a VP is far less clear, and certainly many of his supporters reject her and her generation. But I think Obama would benefit hugely from her once he got elected. I suspect Obama appreciates her talents, and I guess she would be willing to do it.

I could see a Clinton Obama ticket. It would help to make sure that the new young Obama supporters will show up on election day. Obama is young enough to wait another 8 years run for President, at which point he would be the Dem front-runner.

I don't see a Obama/Clinton ticket. I just don't see her being anyone's VP. I think she'd rather be Senate majority leader. I think Obama would probably pick someone with a lot of foreign policy experience. Joe Biden perhaps.
