As Sens. Clinton (D-NY) and Obama (D-Ill) continue their fight to the death for their party's nomination, a deep and nearly irreconcilable rift continues to be revealed. Ironically, for the party of "tolerance" and "political correctness," that rift appears to be falling mostly along age, gender, and racial lines.
So potentially disastrous are the ramifications of this rift that some superdelegates (party elites who will have the final say in who the nominee will be) are even floating a compromise scenario that would put a white man, none other than alarmist-in-chief Al Gore, at the top of their ticket if the nomination is decided by a brokered convention. I don't think it could ever fly, but the irony is too thick to leave without comment.
The only question is whether Gore would protest his own nomination, since he didn't win the popular vote in the primaries.
