McCain-Romney Ticket Versus Clinton-Obama Ticket. Election 2008 Takes Shape

You might think I’m jumping the gun here, on Thursday January 31, 2008, to predict the GOP and Democratic tickets.  But this week has made it extremely likely this will be the final showdown for the 2008 election.

 Both fields have cleared out quite a bit this week, and on the republican side, no viable Vice Presidential candidates remain aside from Romney- not just from the field of Presidential candidates, but from other potiential VPs as well.  McCain is not the front runner, looks likely he will stay that way, and Romney gives him more than anyone else to fill out the ticket.  Money, experience with the economy, presidential looks and delivery, perfect hair, conservative views of at least some things.  Bottom line, there’s no one else. A McCain Romney ticket is the best viable option.

 As for democrats, Clinton and Obama made nice nice tonight in their debate, and were down right chummy with each other.  When Wolf asked about the possiblity of them being a dream ticket, the crowd got energized, and there was a feeling of destiny in the room.  It fits quite nicely.  A woman president with a black VP, who would then be President in 8 years.  Obama inspires folks, he doesn’t have much experience. He might do a very good job as President, but it looks like it’s shaking down in a way that will leave Hillary on top.  She has no real choice but to choose him.  He will have enough delegates to have earned it, and to choose anyone else would create an outcry, disillusionment with the party, and poor voter turn out (or worse, jumping on the Bloomberg band wagon, to make a point).  Hillary really has no choice but to choose a Clinton Obama ticket. And Obama has no choice but to say yes. It isn’t only about doing what he wants- it is being responsible to destiny, to history, to a moment in time that may not come again any time soon. He must say yes.

 So, there you have it. This presidential election will be McCain Versus Clinton.  McCain-Romney Versus Clinton-Obama.  A McCain-Romney ticket will bring a lot to the table. In particular, holding on for dear life to a more conservative ticket, such as it is.   A Hillary Obama Ticket will too.  The democrats will have a lot more genuine enthusiasm and excitement and a sense of making history as well as changing this country dramatically for the better.  The Democrats will be impassioned by what the future can be.  The republicans will be impassioned to keep the future from slipping too far from solid conservativism.  Both McCain and Hillary will tout their ability to get things done across the isle.   Romney and Obama will tout their fresh blood coming into Washington to bring real change.  

You better fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
