I suggest that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton stop attacking each other and take turns.  Say Obama is the Presidential nominee for this term and Hillary, Vice President, and then they switch again. After four years, Obama agrees not to run for another term, , and supports Hillary Clinton for President, with himself as Vice President.  This could result in 16 years of Democratic Presidents, save a whole lot of money in the primary battles, (which could be spent on building a real Democratic Party with real grass roots membes, precinct by precinct) unite a lot of the electorate and show that the nominees care more about what most Americans need rather than what they want.

In one debate, when Hillary Clinton, said something like “no matter what happens, we will be OK” We have strong families...”  I thought, “They should care if most Americans, (who are not millionaires) will be “OK.”    Why can’t politicians “check their egos at the door?” --as Doonesbury once suggested.  This election should be about us, average Americans like me, not about them.
