Let 'em duke it out
The Obama-Clinton drama is good for voters and the Democratic Party. And bad for John McCain.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-03-06]

  • I basically agree

    I was at a caucus in Dallas last night. About 100 folks there. It was split exactly even (to the person) between Clinton and Obama.

    This is not a bad thing.

    There was no acrimony between the two groups. We smiled and waved at each other while the precinct captain was counting the votes. There was a burst of laughter when he announced the split.

    Being Texas most of us were just happy to see that so many of our neighbors were Democrats. :)

    I caucused for Obama, but I figure Clinton will come out victorious in the end. The icing on the cake will be if Obama is VP. I think Clinton will lean towards that pick because she knows as well as anyone that it'll increase her chances of winning quite a bit. It's the Dream Team.
