I usually refrain from writing or posting any articles relating to politics, but I thought the following was a very interesting prediction of what may occur in the Democratic race between Senators Clinton and Obama. The Washington Post, in an article published on Wednesday, makes a strong point that Senator Clinton may become Justice Clinton if Obama is elected to serve as President. The author suggests that in order to unite the Democratic party, Obama should promise Clinton now that he would appoint her to the first vacancy on the High Court. You might be wondering why Obama would do this since it appears that they disagree on a vast number of issues. The article counters with this argument:

 "Obama and Clinton have wound up agreeing on nearly every major issue during the campaign; at the end of the day, they share many orthodoxies. Unless the Supreme Court were to get mired in minuscule details of what constitutes universal health care, Obama could assume that he'd be pleased with most Clinton votes, certainly on major issues such as abortion.

Obama could also appreciate Clinton's undeniably keen mind. Even Clinton detractors have noted her remarkable mental skills; she would be equal to any legal or intellectual challenge she would face as a justice. The fact that she hasn't served on a bench before would be inconsequential, considering her experience in law and in government."

I won't disclose my political preference simply because I don't want to risk losing any readers for my choice of political parties. I will say, however, that the idea mentioned above is a novel one, one that I haven't heard before-- one that could really unite the Democratic party and rival the momentum and strength that Senator McCain carries forward into the election.
