Well the level of delusionality (I believe that's a made up word) varies within their ranks. nick is fairly reasonable but certainly with regard to the Democratic primary he's not seeing too clearly. But it should be noted this is not a board phenomenon but rather a representation of Democratic partisans, at least on the internet.
Now, Hillary/Warner is a very possible ticket, or Hillary/Bayh--- though Bayh is widely overrated among some Democrats by virtue of his success in Indiana. Those are both short on foreign policy cred, but I do not expect Biden to be picked even if that speciality is required. In any case, the way I approach problems or questions is to look at the whole picture (this often causes problems when I am arguing on this board).
What I mean here is that, for Warner (or Bayh, etc.) to become the nominee, a certain series of events has to occur. Without understanding the reason those events could occur and their potential ramifications, I'm uncomfortable with the notion anyone aside from Hillary can win the Democratic nomination.
I am not opposed to examining the issue more deeply. It would require a separate thread and at least a tentative schedule for the 2008 primaries. There is a scenario floating in my brain that could result in a Warner candidacy, but I haven't thought about it sufficiently to determine how likely it is.
