1. Ain't Gonna Happen. They're Going To Force A Clinton/Obama Or Obama/Clinton Ticket.
It really is that simple. Get ready for it.

2. A mathematical impossibility
but, assuming such a scenario, I think Al Gore should be the nominee, and Hillary should go back to NY and stay there!

3. Rock paper scissors settles the nomination
Thumb wrestling. Coin toss. High card in the draw.

Any one of those options would be appealing.

6. It's still possible to have a contentious blurred result in Denver but
I think Howard Dean's intention is to avoid contention at the convention.

I don't get the impression that he wants to preside over a knife fight on the Front Range.

We'll have a nominee by spring / late spring or so.

8. Maybe a Hot Dog eating contest?
you know like the ones they have on the Teevee box where people have their hands tied behind their back.

Poll - Feingold
