Obama, Clinton and the black-brown divide
There was no electioneering allowed at a social justice conference in New Orleans this week, but tough issues were aired anyway.

  • The 'dream ticket'

    I can't quite follow the recent 'dream ticket' refrain. According to the Clinton campaign, he's an inexperienced, dishonest, corrupt, naive upstart. What does it say about her that she'd be willing to have such a person on her ticket? It actually smells a bit of desperation, a recognition that it's the only way she can get on the ticket. Right now, they say the dream ticket is Clinton/Obama. In May, they'll be claiming the the dream ticket is Obama/Clinton, in a last-ditch attempt to salvage anything from the year's efforts. If she wants a spot on that ticket (rather than Obama/Dodd, or Obama/Sebelius), she better start running a more positive campaign.
