I was reading an Australian analysis of the upcoming midterm, and it discusses (briefly) how the midterm could affect the 2008 presidential hopefuls. It also mentioned a curious pairing for the Democrats. (On the flip, please.)

UPDATE: I apreally preciate people reading the diary and stopping to comment. I do --- I've had diaries up with all of 5 comments, so it's nice that people take a moment to respond. I'm a little disturbed, though, by the people who dismiss a short diary about the 2008 election as "not being properly focused" and, more bluntly, that I should "get back to work" on 2006. Hey, I know the midterms are coming up --- the article I'm referring is about the midterms. I'd like to think, though, that if it raises an interesting point about the 2008 election, I could share it without being blasted.
Now, about those midterms...
The newspaper The Australian actually
put Hillary and Obama together, though more to say that this particular pairing wouldn't have a chance:
But if Obama can wear the blowtorch as well as he wears a pinstripe suit, he could be an attractive running mate for the Democrat presidential nominee, though not if it's Clinton. The US is mellowing but it is not yet ready for a woman and a black man on the same ticket.
Wouldn't that be interesting, though? Hillary for president, with Obama as VP, against your typical old white guys on the Republican side.
I'm not much of an HRC fan myself, and Barack strikes me as something of a lightweight for so high an office. However, it'd be a fascinating campaign --- it would be pretty much guaranteed that voter turnout would be to an extent that we've never seen before.
