Here's another reason why some Democrats aren't high on having Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton together on the Democratic ticket: Latino voters, not high on black or female candidates, might choose Sen. John McCain. Democratic pollster Peter Hart says the ticket could face a double whammy of prejudice. "I wouldn't want to see a Clinton-Obama ticket. If you're breaking through a glass ceiling, if you double pane, it's going to be twice as hard to break though, so I think that you're adding to the biases that any candidate would have to deal with."
