The dream ticket

Sen. John McCain is struggling to get some media attention while Sens. Clinton and Obama fight for the Democratic nomination.  This week the focus has been on the “dream ticket,” a joint Clinton-Obama ticket.

On the CBS Early show, Clinton said “that may…be where this is headed.”  Then her husband, former President Bill Clinton added the two would be “almost unstoppable.”  But, who would be on top of the ticket?  Clinton says she deserves it, while Obama says the same thing.

Clinton thinks she deserves it because she won big states in the primaries such as California, New York, New Jersey and Ohio.  She also thinks she deserves it because she is Hillary Clinton.  Obama points out that he has won twice as many states as Clinton and maintains both a delegate lead and a popular vote lead.  Right now, Obama deserves it.  Yesterday in Mississippi, Obama said, “I have won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I have won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So I don’t know how somebody who is in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who is in first place.”

Allow me to inject race into the dream ticket because it is important.  By all accounts Obama is winning.  But, Hillary is laying claim to the throne.   Once again, I see the whitey holding down the black man.  Think about it.  It’s Obama, the black man, that isn’t experienced enough to be the President.  But, he’s good enough to be number two.  Just a thought…
