Yup! And Illinois, not Arkansas is the Red Queen's home state. She's got it anyway. Unless Hillary is going to try to capitalize on the "black thing," (the rich, white Democrats own the African American vote anyway), what good does it do to have the guy with the terrorist sounding name on her ballot? It doesn't make any sense to me.
You are right, Richardson is the only electable Demonrat.
You need a governor. But a governor is better at the top of the presidential ticket.
And the perfect foil would be Rice-n-Rudi! 2008.
What are they smoking over there these days? The Democrats have a real good chance of taking back the White House in 2008. They're not going to blow it on
1a. a woman
b. that woman
c. last name "Clinton"
d. a Senator
2a. an African-American
b. inexperienced
c. last name "Obama"
d. part Muslim
e. a Senator
Obama would bring nothing to her ticket. Both their states are already sure Dem wins. Iowa alone will put a stop to her campaign, since even Dems in Iowa have enough common sense to reject her.
Only in Washington are people who have never accomplished anything and who have no actual power, called "powerful."
Why would Hillary pick Obama as VP in 2008? She already has 85% of the black vote. I think she will pick Clark to give her a military man as a running mate. Someone to make her look like a strong leader. (Barf)
In total agreement. Not much to gain when you got that segment of the populace sewn up already.
If it is Hitlery/Cluck, then I guess we'll just have to counter and clean up with a Franks and Rice plate.
"its going to be Clinton/Richardson."
Richardson has too many skeletons in his closet. I would say Clinton/Warner or Edwards/Obama.
I can't see why. I'd be shocked if she did not.
That didn't stop Kerry from being nominated...
Kerry and Edwards were both do-nothings in Congress. "Do nothing" must be the new Dim Presidential qualification standard. All the Dim do-somethings did something stupid.
LOL
Oh right, America is sooooooooooooo excited about 2 junior senators running the country. Obama's claim to fame is he was able to give one speech without stuttering or fluffing his well-scripted lines, and the other is a woman who won't pee without taking a poll on whether she should stand or sit.
That's me. A heartless genius. ;-)
All of which begs the question: will either President Bush energetically campaign for the candidate you describe?
I've only seen his performance at last year's Democratic Convention, and didn't see what all the jazz was about. I guess he's above average -- it's hard not to be, when most politicians are terrible -- but the whole tenor of his speech struck me as very cynical and what is worst, obviously so. (Its main theme was that we need to move above party politics and embrace each other as one America, and oh yeah, Republicans are a festering sore upon this country, and if you're not out there crushing them you don't have America's best interests at heart).
I think he has a very base-limited appeal.
