If he passes that test (he passed the drug test) well that opens up a lot of doors and ammunition for the right to pounce on.

This is all bullshit man.
Nobody in politics has a better opposition research operation than the Clintons. They're the resident experts on slinging mud. If there was anything in Obama's past they could use against him, they would have done it by now. If they haven't found anything, then there's nothing to be found.

2 things here.
If you want a candidate with long coattails, then you should be rooting for Obama.
Hillary is a polarizing figure, and even though she might squeak out a victory in November, alot of republicans will show up at the polls to vote against her even if they don't really like McCain. While they're there, they'll also vote for the republican candidates for congress and the Senate.
I also disagree that you can't get things done in a bi-partisan way.
Reagan did it. Democrats controlled congress when he was President, and they got lots of things done. (not all of them good mind you, but they got things done)
Just because Bill Clinton was the king of gridlock and government shutdowns doesn't mean that no democratic president can work with republicans in congress.
