Democrat VP

Now that the primary season is effectively over and the race of Obama vs. McCain has been decided, a new set of questions arises. The most prominent question on the democratic side of the race is who will be Barack Obama's running mate. Some speculate that it will in fact be Hillary Clinton. I disagree. Clinton has shown to be very capable, but has also taken some pretty sizable shots at Obama. I would not be surprised if a woman was selected to be the running mate - perhaps the governor of Kansas or the governor or Arizona. Only time will tell. It is also at this point that I will begin collecting data for my research project, comparing which superdelegates went against their constituencies prior to June 3rd (the end of the primary season), and a new section addressing how the primary would have gone without the superdelegates at all. This new part will effectively remove all superdelegates and recalculate the number of delegates. I will then calculate a new majority number needed for the nomination, and see when and how the primary would have ended, and if there is a major difference.
