With the voters so evenly divided I think that the interpretation should be that neither Obama or Clinton can win without the other. At this point, I don't care who heads the ticket, let them flip a coin.
This primary season has certainly been more interesting but I find that I now understand what other states have felt for years: that my vote meant nothing. When we had our 'almighty' first in the nation primary there were way more than the final two democratic options and the outcome of the NH primary may very well have not been Clinton if she and Obama were the only options.
I feel the campaign/primary process shows exactly the kind of president someone will be:
Obama has run a well organized campaign - he has responded thoughfully to attacks even when he was caught in a mistake; and we found out he can be perceived to be an elitist...ie smart - don't we want someone smarter than us to handle all the problem they will inherit.
Clinton has lost multiple campaign staff; has had to reign in her husband; resisted as long as possible in devulging her tax information; financially she's stuggling (even with the PA bump); she's been caught in 'stretching the truth' with the Bosnian comment; and she's shown in PA that she's someone you can have a beer with (where have we seen that before...)
btw - if Clinton gets the dem's nod, I will write in Obama or not vote at all.
