Jay Cost has a very interesting analysis of how “Texas and Ohio performed in a manner roughly consistent with the states prior to Wisconsin.” If that is true, and Obamamania has faded a bit (was this or maybe this a significant reason?), it is certainly plausible that a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton is not beyond the realm of possibility, as Senator Clinton herself suggested today (video here). Here’s the question: would such a ticket magnify the positives in the demographic appeal of each, or somehow magnify the negatives of each candidate?
