The Race Is On, Again

If you missed last night's primary and caucus results in Vermont, Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island check out the WashingtonPost.com's video coverage featuring reactions from candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain who successfully clinched the Republican nomination last night and said, "Stand up with me my friends and fight for America, the contest begins tonight."

Clinton and Obama have pledged to "keep on, keepin' on," with primaries in Wyoming and Mississippi scheduled for mid-March and the now much anticipated Pennsylvania primary on April 22.

Do you think such a close race could end up hurting the Democratic Party's chance of winning in November?

As in, I see attacks made back and forth between Clinton and Obama that attempts to degrade each candidate. In essence, they're on the same team--so does this "in-fighting" end up weakening both their chances of beating out McCain when the time comes?

Also, I was watching CNN and a political analyst proposed that whoever wins the Democratic Presidential ticket, they should choose the other to be their VP running-mate. I don't know how plausible it is, but I do remember hearing that both candidates admitted they would be happy to have their opposing candidate involved in the administration in some way, likely as cabinet members.
