A fanciful scenario where neither Obama nor Clinton is the Democratic nominee for president.
  • I have to disagree

    This isn't the stupidest idea ever--it's considerably less ridiculous than a lot of what Klein spews out over the pages of Time magazine. And, in principle and in different circumstances, a Gore-Obama ticket would have been something special.

    Still, one must wonder what kind of time warp Klein is stuck in. We're not in the era of the dark horse candidate who emerges from a smoke-filled room to save a deadlocked convention. Granted, Hubert Humphrey did it as recently as 1968 for the Democrats, at a disastrously chaotic convention that resulted in the election of Richard Nixon.

    This is going to be moot, anyway. I'm hoping the superdelegates will step in, the sooner the better.
