Obama/Clinton the New Lennon/McCartney?
I'd call Hillary a bit more Yoko than McCartney. I'd compare breaking up the Democratic Party to breaking up The Beatles a bit more than song writing.
via Huffpost
"As for that "secret meeting" between Clinton and Obama last night, it made me think of Lennon and McCartney during the breakup of the Beatles in 1970. The two of them were pretty pissed off at one another by then, and Lennon loyalists felt that McCartney screwed him with the way he handled his departure from the group. But there were only four living people who knew what it was like to be a Beatle, to have lived in the eye of that hurricane. And only two of them knew what it was like to spend years fighting for the role of frontman and band leader.....
You can be a fan of Lennon's politics, his great writing and singing, and still acknowledge that McCartney is one of the great composers, musicians, and singers of our time. Obama and Clinton are like John and Paul in at least one way: Only the two of them know what it's been like to be in the bubble of this campaign for the last six months. If they want to go back on the road together, that's fine with me. If not, they'll each have their own hits.
Like the song says: They can work it out."

"He's redefininig what a politician is..."
"But we've got this guy out there now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up...Barack Obama.
"He's redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to."
He added: “You should always take the best from the past, leave the worst back there and go forward into the future."

Kathleen Sebelius Veep? Kennedy may Decide!
Obama - Sebelius 08
That would make an interesting bumper sticker. 
But it looks like it is being mentioned by Wes Clark and more. Little is known on the national front about Kathleen Sebelius, the current governor of Kansas, but I'm sure everyone will know more soon. And Caroline Kennedy is heading the vice president search for Obama. A woman is sure to be atop the list and hopefully not Hillary.
