We're fighting the same old arguments, over and over, but since you mention the Senate...
In the website you've listed several times Clinton was listed as the 9th most powerful Senator, McCain as the 10th and Obama as the 11th. This doesn't seem to suggest the vast difference in standing that you seem to see yourself.
Still, I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree about issues like Obama lacks political skills and or experience. I wish that you and other Clinton supporters could admit that he has a long history of public service, as does Clinton, and trying to diminish him using the same old tactics, that are shaded to favor your candidate, aren't convincing anyone who isn't already convinced right now.
Voters in Pennsylvania will likely choose Hillary by a margin of ten percent or so. Like Ohio. And in the rest of the contests with a possible exception in West Virginia...but in at least nine other states Obama is likely to win. In many of these with percentages over fifteen or twenty percent.
So Clinton supporters who don't want to do the math...I just want to give you a heads up. And personally, I like the idea of a combined ticket, despite my frustration with Clinton. I think she will make a very fine and historic vice president. Obama doesn't seem like the type to be threatened by a strong woman (hence his marriage to the admirable Michelle) so I think that Democrats should just settle for having our cake and eating it too.
Obama/Clinton 08.
Now let's move our ammunition stockpiles over to where we can bombard McCain.
