Ironically, all of the latest rhetoric regarding Sen. Obama possibly having Sen. Clinton as the #2 on the Democratic ticket reminds me of the Kennedy-Johnson ticket - two guys who had a great distaste for each other, but the DNC made this political marriage so that Northern and Southern votes could be gotten. It did not matter that the two of them never did work together on anything - and VP Johnson was exiled from all of the inner sanctum activities.

It clearly demonstrated that getting the party's puppets elected is more important to the Party's National Committees than anything being accomplished by the "winners" for the nation post-election.
