The Brother on the Right

Now that it is even more apparent that Hillary will not be the party’s nominee (see story) should we anticipate the revival of the Dream Ticket that so many pundits have brought up in the past?

Quite possible I believe and here’s why: Obama clearly will win big in the popular vote, delegate count and total states won. Hillary has clearly demonstrated the ability to win the big states and the working class white vote, both key demographics and areas that must be won in order to secure the presidency.

Together they represent the best of both worlds for the election. Exit polling indicates that Clinton supporters will not support Obama over McCain and that a slimmer margin of Obama supporters will not support Clinton over McCain. It appears Clinton’s supporters are more loyal to her than Obama’s supporters are to Barack.

The Republicans and McCain have not articulated a compelling or energizing rationale for the White House. I yawn every time I think about McCain. Who can get excited about a guy who was recently contemplating switching to the democrats? He still denies it but I would too if I were him.

Obama and Clinton both inspire passions in their supporters. I think both camps will eventually put aside their differences and come together to push for the Dream Ticket.

The scary part: The Dream Ticket can win.

The Republicans had better get it together. Fast.
