Mrs Clinton stood head and shoulders above Mr Obama when it came to experienceshe had been one of the two most influential first ladies in American history and had proved to be a diligent senator, a work-horse, not a show horse. Oh cut me a break!

Yawn, the Clintons are/were nothing without the MSM/Hollywood/Academia war room. They were a manufactured myth.
Now the war room has simple found a exotic and shiny new fairy tale named, Hussein.

Obama has a “penchant for honesty” because he admitted to marijuana and cocaine use? Maybe The Economist needs to read the rest of his books.

The fact is Hillary was and is a very weak candidate. Half of the democrats hate her guts and 100% of the Republicans hate her. If she had been a formidable candidate with the money she had she should have kicked Obama’s ass. I hope Obama is stupid enough to select her as his VP. It will be the worst mistake of his campaign.

Until I see her toes curl up in the striped sox I am NOT ready to sing “Ding Dong the Withc is Dead”
Obamarama could still revive her chances of being president with a pick for Veep and a trip to Ft. Marcy park.

I still can’t believe that these two were the best the Democrats could come up with. Wasn’t there anyone else?

I hope Obama is stupid enough to select her as his VP. It will be the worst mistake of his campaign. As I've been saying for many years, I'm worried about VICE President Clinton.
Think of it:
Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
The Glorious Hillary! Decade begins
Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
At the end of the Glorious Hillary! Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
By the time the National Emergency is over all the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......
Just as an aside, with the Clinton's well known love of 'ethnics', Obama is very expendable, isn't he?

Indeed we did. From the Hanoi Hilton to the White House. We have chosen a true patriot with the guts to take it to the enemy.

Yes. Jimmy Carter was good too. He served the country honorably in the Nuclear Navy.

Yes, but the flip side is if the Obama/Witch ticket were to get trounced in November, the Clintons would not be able to go around claiming “We told you so.” She would really be politically dead then.

Nope. Winning means that the Hildabeast can’t run for president in ‘012 (Assuming Obama lives that long).
Losing means that she can.
The clintons would destroy the country if they could rule the rubble.
Wouldn’t they do as much for the DNC?

Comparing Carter’s to McCain’s service is a real disservice. I can’t believe how some diss the extraordinary heroism of our surviving POWs of the Hanoi Hilton.

No problem.
Would you prefer to discuss how he co-authored a bill to abridge freedom of speech?
