3. lets count down those long challenges

1972- McGovern lost in a landslide
1976 - Carter won in a squeaker, mainly because of watergate and Ford claiming that eastern europe wasn't behind the iron curtain during a debate. It should have been a landslide for Carter given watergate.
1980 - Carter loses in a landslide
1984 - Mondale loses in a landslide
1992 - Clinton wins, with a plurarity of the vote, but a large victory in the Electoral college

Given that history of late decided nominees, we need to get behind one or the other, and let the one that drops out be the VP.

Even if Sen Obama or Sen Clinton doesn't drop out, they should concentrate their attacks on McCain not each other.
