For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: with the Democrat presidential nomination process now likely to run into June, things are getting uglier and uglier:

A day after Hillary Clinton regained her footing in the Democrats' presidential-nominating marathon, she and Barack Obama intensified their attacks on each other, geared up for messy rules fights and wooed the party leaders who could decide the race.

With Clinton's kitchen sink, scorched earth strategy having worked in Texas and Ohio, is Obama going to have to drop the nice guy facade and begin vociferously attacking back to save his campaign? How ugly do you think this is going to get?

Maybe more important, if he goes to the convention with a delegate and popular vote lead, but the Clintons use their influence to steal the victory from him, would he actually accept Hillary's offer to be vice president?
