" What This Means" - analysis of IN & NC

[housewolf]

One thing that last night made clear is that the only viable solution is to propose a joint ticket with Clinton on top, Obama as VP. It's as clear as day. Okay...I admit it...that's delusional. But some people are suggesting that Obama should select Clinton as his running mate as a way to mend fences. Anyone who thinks that is a good idea hasn't really been following the campaign. It hasn't been a battle between Barack Obama (centrist black man) and Hillary Clinton (centrist white woman). That was the superficial story line where the only difference between them was their identities. If you thought that was what the choice was, you can be forgiven because that's what the media and more than half the blogosphere told you it was about.

In reality, this was a generational fight.

But, above all, it was a fight about leadership. Barack Obama knew better than to rely on the existing infrastructure,... All of you should go join up on his website and meet your neighbors that are supporting him, and get organized.
...

As for the Clintons, it took a lot of money and a lot of psychic energy to defeat them. There is no way that Obama can betray that effort by inviting them back into the tent. That would make his campaign all about him, rather than all about us. This was a fight for the ideological soul of the party.

There's more for thought & inspiration. It's a very good read. Go read it. Now.
