The year of the dream team?

(Response of a JP reader on my letter of 15th May 2008 re Dream Team)

This is to comment on K.B. Kale's letter on May 15, titled "Dream ticket", saying that if Hillary Clinton were to accept being Barack Obama's running mate, it would make for a "dream ticket".
I do agree with his idea, but the contest in the Democrat Party's nomination is still going on at least until June 3, after the last three primaries in Puerto Rico on June 1 and Montana and South Dakota on June 3.
What makes the dream ticket a possibility for Obama as he recently won in Oregon, is also, I think, a possibility for Clinton because she won earlier in Kentucky.
The reason is based on exit polls that Obama had difficulty with white working-class voters in Kentucky as he has in other states that gave Clinton 70 percent of those votes as well as three-quarters of votes from people who did not finish college. About 20 percent said race played a factor in their votes (The Jakarta Post, May 22).
If the above polls prove to be true, along with the CNN poll which says 75 percent of Americans are willing to accept a black president, the dream ticket may fall to either Obama or Clinton.
Whoever the Democratic Party nominee will be, to be decided in August by the superdelegates, a dream team, in my opinion, may be in sight because Clinton herself has said that whatever the end result is, she will maintain the party's unity.
Such a team would be a strong and tough contender, like the American basketball dream team playing in the Olympics. The Democrat's dream team would surely beat Republican nominee John McCain, whose ruling party has been preoccupied with the so-called war on terror for the past six years.
On which party will win this fall presidential election, I do agree that is the year of the Democrats because apart from the above-mentioned Bush policies, a California city has declared itself bankrupt (and may be followed by other cities) because it could not bear the expenditures as a result of the U.S. economic slowdown.
