The split between the two camps has always spelled trouble to whomever gets the nomination. And while it would make sense to have Hillary on the ticket as VP given the hate between Barry O and she I just don't see it happening.

Your thoughts.

If Obama is POTUS and Hillary is VPOTUS during an international crisis, she would not be able to keep her mouth shut, and would be in his face arguing and throwning lamps ad nauseum.

And according to all accounts, Michelle hates Hillary’s guts. We all know what that means - no Obama/Clinton 2008!

I am hoping House of Klinton will fall and fall on top of their heads.

Middle America will not elect a black neo-Marxist. Paul Begala had it right, there aren’t enough “eggheads and African-Americans”.

If she had stepped down gracefully, MAYBE it would have been offered..but there's too much water under the bridge. And way, way, way too much drama. I can't tell you how many of my Dem friends have said that they're so disgusted that this year they'll vote for McCain.

Why would Barry want those two looking over his shoulder, sucking all the air out? And I just can't see her taking second fiddle. I bet they offer her a Supreme Court seat if she gets out fast. They'll also probably tell her that if she doesn't step down, her influence in the Dem party will be gone forever.

The MSM is doing their best to say the Obama is going to be President so get used to it. It will so sweet to hear them call the majority Americans racists and stupid because their Messiah was soundly defeated in November. What will be even more satisfying will all the treats we will hear about DUmmies moving out of the country.

It may be that one way to party unity would be for Obama to pick Clinton for his VP, but I don’t see it happening. She’d be second fiddle, and she’s had her sights set on first chair lo, these many years, putting up with her hubby’s shenanigans to use him and his name to that end. Plus, the problem arises of what to do with Bill.

I agree. Did Baldwin leave yet?

Since you mentioned our dear “Arreck”, I read a story a few days ago that he’s considering running for office. Now, he didn’t say exactly which office, but he did say that he’d be sure to be nicer to his daughter in future answering machine messages!

"And while it would make sense to have Hillary on the ticket as VP given the hate between Barry O and she I just don't see it happening."

JFK and Lyndon Johnson supposedly disliked each other intensely, and yet they came together to make a winning ticket. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

Could you imagine having Bill and Hillary as your co-vice prez? I wouldn’t want it. And Bill is a loose canon in front of the camera.

Just as you said, too much drama.

A Supreme Court seat for a gal who flunked the DC bar exam?

As much as I dislike Hillary, she is starting to look like the closest thing to “moderate” in the DNC. The rest are radical marxists.

But she's not. She did this sudden makeover when she started on this plan and went into the senate, but I don't believe it's real.

With "Election '08: Hussein vs McCain" as a slogan, McCain will win. Obama wants to avoid using his middle name, but since it rhymes with McCain, it will play well in the MSM!

I keep thinking the same thing, but I don't underestimate the ability of the Clintonites to convince Michelle that it's in her "best interest for her health" that she's quiet on the matter.

Can you just see it? Michelle cans Hillary as the veep, then the leaks start appearing in the newspapers. Michelle's "this or that". Barry has all sorts of scandals leaked, imaginary or not. It costs them the presidency.

Then what? Michelle's got nothing but a pile of cash, an affirmative action job and a senator husband who may not be competent enough to fend off the next election challenger when socialist policies really start taking a toll (the last one was Doctor Alan Keyes, who's inseparable decency and goodness cost him the election.)

Exactly.

Do Obama's handlers know better than to have him ride in a motorcade?
