Early Retirement & Financial Independence Community - View Single Post - Obama nor Clinton will have the needed delagates after the primaries.

I think second place would acceptable to both (VP is a heck of a promotion for a Senator) ... Clinton needs Obama as VP; but I don't think Obama wants/needs Clinton as VP.

Point being, Obama can carry the general election without Clinton (she's a liability, negatives are too high). But Clinton can not carry it without Obama (negatives too high and the black and youth vote will be alienated).

Should be interesting, especially if Clinton wins Penn.
