This morning I was trying to come up with wrestling nicknames for each of the top remaining presidential possibilities (don't ask).
I think the best one is:
John "[the] Freight Train" McCain. This fits well with his signature move, "The Straight Talk Express."
I also like:
Hillary "the Hun" Clinton. I don't have a signature move for her yet. Maybe "The Nutcracker Suite."
I'm having the most trouble with the last one. Maybe:
Barack "the Rock" Obama - but that's already taken. Or perhaps...
Barack "Yer Momma" Obama.
Any ideas? What do you think their nicknames should be?

OK, one more!

"That may be where this is headed," Clinton said. "But of course we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket."
My impression is that Clinton would be the bigger roadblock to a shared ticket, so if she's talking about it as a possibility, I think it just might go forward. The question, as she says, is who would be at the top of the ticket.
Some recent poll analysis:
Clinton v McCain
Obama v McCain
(simulation based on state-by-state polling)
Clinton v McCain
Obama v McCain
(simulation based on state-by-state polling)
Clinton v McCain
Obama v McCain
(these last two seem to be based on average percentage in various national polls, but presents an "over time" result in a nice graphical format - it should be noted that the current pattern also has shifted back and forth on a state-by-state level if you look back through previous analysis on the other pages)
Of course, if it's a shared ticket that may complicate the results of these polls immensely. And we really have no idea who McCain would choose.
EDIT: I also want to say that I was in the Common House living room watching the primary results come in, and the people there were all Obama supporters, and it was really kind of annoying to hear their reactions. Of course, I think I would have had a similar reaction in a room full of Clinton supporters. In the end I think my predominant reaction at the moment is that both "camps" need to get over themselves.
