On Tuesday, March 4th, I had the privilege to once again engage my right as a citizen of the United States by voting in the presidential primary. I had hoped my vote would have contributed to a win for Senator Barak Obama and thus insure him as the democratic presidential nominee. However, Sen. Hillary Clinton won both of the big states, Texas and Ohio, prolonging the procedure until a later date.
When this process started, it was assumed that the democratic nominee was the “birth right” of Sen. Clinton. And then this upstart, African-American junior senator from Illinois came on the scene and upset the plan. After the Iowa caucus, I wrote the blog on January 8th, “Can Obama Become President?” Many responded as skeptics, but here we are after Super-Tuesday with Sen. Obama leading with total delegates over Sen. Clinton.
Since neither of the candidates can win the 2024 delegates necessary to win the democratic nominee outright, the talk now is about a “dream ticket!” Either an ‘Obama-Clinton’ or ‘Clinton-Obama’ candidacy that many say would be unstoppable against the aged, Republican, Bush-minion, Sen. John McCain.
So, what are your thoughts? Regardless of who wins, do you see both Obama and Clinton eventually joining forces and working together as a President – Vice President democratic ticket?
