"Neither Hil nor Obama lockup the nomination. Deadlocked 1st vote. Al Gore nominated from the floor. (the crowd goes wild)."

Me too, but I always wake up at the end. Reality; what a drag.

The question that this beings to my mind is who will they chose as a running mate to balance the ticket? Huckabee could smooth the ruffled feathers of the religious right, but that ticket offers nothing to the economic conservatives. Mitt could bring the supply siders on board, but would alienate the Dobsonites. With the GOP so fractured, I don't see a combination that would inspire a large majority of the right's influencers. To me, the GOP falling apart is actually more significant than their inability to field a presidential candidate to beat the Democrats. Discipline, organization and solidarity have been the GOP's strongest characteristics since the dawn of the modern 'conservative' movement 28 years ago. If they lose that, they've lost far more than a Presidential election.
