If anyone has played the race card, it’s the Clintons

1. Florida winds up getting half its delegation seated while Michigan is re-voted in a caucus. (This assumes Obama winds up with a final lead in pledged delegates of less than about 150; it’s also a complete guess, but I don’t think anyone really has an idea how this will play out).
2. Some will, some won’t. If Obama’s lead in the pledged delegate count is over 100 (after the Michigan/Florida debacle is straightened out), then I suspect enough Super Delegates will stick with Obama to give him the nomination. Anything less than that, and Hillary probably gets it, but is forced to offer Obama the VP slot. If she somehow ties or wins the pledged delegate count (doubtful), then of course none of this matters.
3. I’ve blogged for months that Huckabee or at least another hard-core evangelical makes the most sense. I don’t think McCain has to win over the talk show hosts so much as he has to win over the religious base of the party. Mark Sanford is probably on the short list as well, though there’s been some buzz lately about Pawlenty from Minnesota (about whom I know exactly nothing).
4. Much less likely today than it was a month ago, or even two weeks ago. I suspect that Obama’s run of success has made a Bloomberg run unlikely since I doubt Bloomberg would run against Obama and he can’t afford to wait much longer to declare if he’s waiting to see who wins the Dem nomination. As much as I would love to see a prominent libertarian run, it’s tough to see who would fit that role right now. Meanwhile, Huckabee’s success combined with his good relationship with McCain has eliminated any possibility of an evangelical third party run.

So the GOP wants to have a guy that when is standing in the sun, his shadow is a hospital bed…
This guy will more likely be on a ventilator before 2009 is here, I for 1 will vote Obama b4 Mcinsane…
