As Barack Obama pointed out last week before he molly-whopped Hillary Clinton in S.C., her supporters would likely vote for him if he got the Democratic nomination, but because Clinton rubs a lot of people the wrong way, there’s a real possibility that the opposite just ain’t true.
The celebrity-filled audience at last night’s Democratic debate in Los Angeles — which was surprisingly substantive and friendly, as these things go — ate up Wolf Blitzer’s suggestion that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would form a “dream ticket” for Democrats (seriously, Stevie Wonder jumped out of his seat). Neither Clinton or Obama bit, but neither ruled it out.
Our question is this: would those of you who fancy you some Obama but don’t like Clinton vote for her if he was her vice presidential running mate? Or would that alignment miss the point entirely?
(Aside: the photo for the Times’ story makes Obama’s shirt-and-tie combo look yellow and gray/beige. In the video, it’s clearly white and lavender. We’re partial to the latter, but curious to how our commenter/resident dandy GVG and any other fashionistas/os would weigh in on this.)
