The Quantum Theory of Minority Candidates

The Democratic Ticket

My thought process has been evolving over the weekend.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. What we have here are two minority presidential candidates. Both can say "Now is the time for a(n) [African American][woman] president." However, only one of them can be right and at the moment we can't know which.

For some odd reason, timing and history conspired to deliver both of these highly popular minority candidates at the same time, at a time when it is fully conceivable for either to win. This isn't good for either and I chalk it up to my Theory of Irony (the same theory that predicted, at one time, a presidential succession of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton).

The reason it's not a good thing? The central tenant of the Quantum Theory of Minority Candidates: When they collide, they annihilate each other.

This is now what is happening, and there is only one solution or I believe John McCain will be our next President. I am accepting the belief now, given ongoing circumstances, that McCain will win so that I am not surprised if he does and all the more pleased if he does not.

One or the other must drop out, and soon--like nowish--and both must run together.

Both MUST run together. Instead of annihilating each other, they must become entangled with each other--this may be the only way to form the stable element of HcOb (or ObHc) and give the Democrats the best shot of taking the White House in 09.

If they annihilate and McCain wins? I fear the U.S. will continue its rapid radioactive decay.
