Your guess is as good as mine on this, but I think a Hillary-Barack

Barack-Hillary would be better.
Barack/Bill Richardson would be the tough one to beat. He could say he
was sending Richardson on the road to fill in the gaps in his foreign
policy experience.
Hillary vs McCain will leave all of the anti-war people with no
attractive candidate. That may depress turnout and really make this a
crap shoot. I think the solid voters at that point will be the people
who are against Hillary no matter who else is running (the NRA vote,
Pro-lifers and other dependable turnout)
Are you kidding? After nearly eight years of being BUSHwhacked, every DEM
in the country will vote for Hillary *or* Barack, along with a majority
of independents.
There's very little difference between Hillary or Barack on ending Bush's
war. Hillary has said she will have a formal plan for doing so within 60
days of assuming office.
The GOP candidate will carry the GOP and a small number of Independents.
The best thing about a Hillary or Barack vs. McCain race might be a
higher tone than we have seen coming from the Republicans in the last two
national elections. McCain isn't going to tolerate that "swiftboat" crap,
and neither will Hillary or Obama on their side.
This is not to say it will be a sweet campaign; it'll just be cleaner
than the last two.
Oh. "Pro-lifers." Misnomer. They're not pro-life, they are anti-abortion.
After the crap from Congress, a Dem controlled Congress doing nada for the
last year to improve things, the people are fed up with both parties. A
Barack / Hillery ticket would be hard to imagine. Hillary does not want
to share the limelight and Barack does not want to have a necklace with an
Albatross.
I agree. Obama should choose an actual government worker. Can he name a
house member that nobody outside of his/her district has ever heard of,
other than colleagues?
