A great Republican choice for the Democratic Nominee or VEEP pick.

It's not that he isn't electable because he's nominally black. Some won't vote for him because of that, including some blacks that would feel him growing up in a 'white' world is tantamount to cultural 'dissonance'.

It's not just that he's a liberal's liberal that will not get thoughtful 'libertarian' or middle right centrist votes. Yes, there ARE some of those out there.

It's not just his muslim ties (although that's a big consideration). Can anyone say: Manchurian Candidate? More to the point, in 6 months, will anybody NOT be saying it?

It's not just that he's the posterboy for the Dems declaring defeat in war, something that has kept them principally out of the White House for most of a generation, especially during times of international risk.

It's the combination of of it all. He's unelectable. As such, I LOVE the Dem love fest with him. The current Dem tag line is that 'we might blow '08 yet'. Oh really? I wonder just the opposite, how the heck do you plan to win with this cast of players?

While the dems are foaming about which candidate best represents the Soros crowd at the expense of the general election, the Republicans have just the opposite concern: which candidate, even though they might fare better in the gen election, approaches passing muster by the right? The result will be a dem meltdown at some point over the concept of electability. That might take both Hussein AND Hillary out. Let the MSM highlight all the dems in the next few months: overexposure of their Soros bona fides is the perfect formula for: we might just blow it yet.

Given the friction between him and Hillary, his unelectability, and the fact that Clinton, Inc., is much better at politics than just Hillary, I doubt seriously he makes the ticket. Cooler heads will prevail and if she gets the nods, it's much more likely that Richardson will be her VEEP pick: all the wonderful minority symbolism without the baggage.
