It's the end of the political primary season. The last of the contests were held today in Montana and South Dakota. University of Florida's Interim Director for the Political Campaign, Daniel Smith says this has been a longer primary season than normal.

Barack Obama says Hillary Clinton will be a part of his campaign as we approach the general election in November. Smith says it's possible Clinton could be Obama's vice presidential pick...it's just not likely.

With the spotlight on the Democrats, it seems there's been little or no coverage of the Republican candidate, John McCain. Smith believes this will not bode-well for the Republicans. This is John McCain's second time as a presidential contender. Back in the 2000 election, McCain fought George W. Bush for the Republican nomination. Smith says some concerns Republicans had with McCain in 2000 are still evident and could ultimately hurt his campaign.
