The newspapers here think that a Hillary-Obama combo won't happen: too much anger right now with Obama accusing Hilary of leaking some false statements before the voting a few days ago and more mud being thrown.
I read about it in 3 different papers, what do the American papers say?

My opinion: by the time the Convention happens in Denver, there may not be much choice for either of them, regardless of feelings.
Seriously now, this is supertight deadlock. With the Rezko land deal being talked about, Obama might not be so glamorous a ticket-lead as before, and Hillary has already walked through that furnace several times. I'm seeing a forced Clinton-Obama ticket being very possible.

Hmm, a forced coalition between people who don't like each other... explosive.
Thanks for the info

Wouldnt be the first time.
The thing is it would take one of them stepping up and saying ok for the best of the party and the country Im going to step out of this race and support my opponent because he/she is a much better choice then McCain and doing this until August is too destructive. But considering the egos that usually run for president can you really see anyone doing that? There would have to be promises of sub-presidency level powers given. Not unlike Cheney I guess. Because your normal Vice President role wouldnt be a good enough consolation prize.

Well, being an automatic frontrunner for the nomination in 2016 is a pretty good prize unto itself.

Would it be possible to win presidency if you do not have a big ego? If you are willing to search for the middle while still sticking to your own principles, people will often mistake you for being weak. People don't want watered down wine, they want it pure.

It's not about small or big egos, it's whether or not those egos are capable of directing their self-confidence in the right direction. (Or the left direction, as the case may be).

Personally, I have no problem being VP to an excellent president.
I think that Clinton and Obama are both classy enough that if they did have a forced ticket, they would put their differences behind them (at least publicly). I would like to see them run together, I think it's a real shame that currently, one of them might be out altogether. I keep wondering where they were four years ago though. John Kerry was deemed the best and brightest of the Democrats at the time. Then he managed to lose to George W. Bush, a man widely regarded as the worst president in the history of the USA. Wow.

John Kerry was not, is not, and never will be the strongest Democrat personality. The Dem party just amped him up because they had to run him. And GWB is only regarded as the worst by leftists. Sure, most righties would agree he isn't the greatest, but certainly not the worst.

Obama has won in Wyoming
Go Obama! He won by 61%. His campaign seems to have plateaued a bit; he's now only ahead by about a hundred delegates. Clinton won important primaries in Texas and Iowa. Idiot resigns after shooting off mouth This is what my dad calls a CLM (Career Limiting Move). I hope this doesn't hurt Obama's campaign. Quote:
