195. this is a silly argument...
Obama has been picking up SD's much faster than Clinton in the past month, and the election's over in a week, leaving Obama decisively ahead on that count. And please let's get this "Clinton is 100% against McCain" meme stomped now, because it is just bad math, any statistician worth his salt will tell you that.

*You need to take a minute to take a step back from all this.*

Also, and this is a question for ALL our Hillary supporters, do you plan on supporting the nominee come November? Because if you think we can afford 4-8 years of John McCain at this point in our history, then theres no point in us even having this conversation.




"One of my heroes is Abraham Lincoln," said Obama. "And a while back there was a wonderful book written by Doris Kearns Goodwin called 'Team of Rivals,' which talked about Lincoln basically pulled in all the people who had been running against him into his Cabinet because whatever . . . personal feelings there were, the issue was how can we get this country through this time of crisis."

"And I think," he added, "that has to be the approach that one takes, whether it's vice president or Cabinet, whoever, and by the way that does not exclude Republicans either."
