There is no such thing as a "done-deal". Frankly, I've heard the same thing about Evan Bayh. The Dems want him because he appeals to the more conservative core of their party. The US is barely ready for the first woman president, let alone the first black VP. Together, that may be too much for the country to handle at this point.
And Obama would overshadow Hillary on the ballot. Something they certainly do not want.
Bayh has been way up on several polls as well. Don't overlook him as an option.
You're wrong. The liberals are scared to death that blacks are beginning to stray (2% swing, last election) from the plantation. Obama's gotta be on the ticket.
The Dem pimp media will play Hillary/Obama as REVOLUTIONARY. They'll be shown as a "return" to America's roots. A women and a black will lead America out of the morass Bush and the neocons took us into...blah, blah, blah, you know the process.
And it will probably work. If McLame is the nominee it will definately work; because after they nominate him the MSM will do a Howard Dean. Remember how they turned on Dean in 2004?
They turned in a week. Completely buried him. Can see this coming as plain as day.
First thing the Dems must do is PUT THE CHRISTIANS TO SLEEP. It's happening.
