Barry O should pick the reverend Wright-on...his spiritual/political mentor for over 20 years.

A real asset to his supporters that reverend is.

Doubt he would go for it. It would be the second coming of a co-presidency. Ears not being able to handle it needing Hilda's help in explaining the number of states and the like.......Arabic in Afghanistan , speaking up when he starts to stutter when he's lost his train of thought...
...fixing his new American flag lapel pin, teaching him how to put his right hand over his heart when pledging the allegiance...????....he does know the pledge right?

No, she sent Bubba up to Montana to talk to the rabble, land of unibomer random militia etc. Maybe she wants to set up Bill as a target and then she’ll get the sympathy vote. Maybhe she planned it with Obama. Problem then becomes, What do they do with Michelle?

"McCain is an also ran at best but might be able to pull out a narrow win over either of these two but not BOTH."

You are correct, of course, and this is why it will happen. The Dems know this and are using Feinstein to 'float the balloon'. The only way the Dems can win is for a combined ticket. Too many Dems will stay home if only one of these is on the ticket and the Demo leadership knows it. That's why it will be a combined ticket.

Remember Kennedy/Johnson? They hated each other too, but ran together to beat Nixon. It's like deja vu all over again.

"So much for Limbaugh's OC. I wanted a stake in her heart ASAP and this guy has done his best to keep her alive! talk about unintended consequences - Sheeeesh!"

That may be Limbag's public position, but privately I'm sure he knew. He's useful to somebody, but it's not conservatives.

Agree with both of your posts/observations. A really screwed up Election Cycle with no good outcomes only the lesser of evils.

It’s a lot more likely that McPain will pick her as VP.

“Ohhhhhh, my head hurts just from reading that.
Obama/Clinton cannot be beaten by John.”

What if Hillary gets so angry over being denied what is “rightfully” hers, that she bolts the ‘Rats and runs with Big John? (She was a Republican when she was young) Not that either of them of them are Republican anyhow!;)

Actually, {granting that it is a matter of opinion, not a matter of absolute fact} I believe that McPain could beat an Obama/Hillary Demo ticket.

Such a ticket would look like an even-worse rehash of the Uber-Liberal McGovern/Muskie ticket with the high negatives of being the two MOST extreme socialists to run for President of the US - EVER - and very little on the positive side to mitigate those factors.

The media will not come clean of course - but the racial divide among the Democrats is deeper and more sharply defined than even a suggestion of a scintilla of such in the GOP.

They better not kid themselves with what I believe is a pipe dream {but if they want to I will not stop them...} since extensive polling has made fairly clear that a certain irreducible minimum of the supporters for each hopeful would sit out the voting if their pick does not triumph.

Wooing those voters to stay on the plantation rather than staying home, or crossing the aisle is something of a Sisyphean task.

It would be compounded by the “McGovern Effect” of two such extreme liberals shaking to life the GOP - every single faction - and galvanizing their support into action and ultimately, voter turnout.

I also grant out of hand that the media will undertake an all-out assault on McCain of the most heinous and dirty nature seen yet in the US...before they’re through with him they’ll be ascribing dozens of underaged Vietnamese “Comfort women” to him, and untold numbers of illicit love children - or something just as calculatedly damaging and damning.

The best that he can do to mitigate the onslaught between now and November is select the most vital, energetic, charismatic, rock-ribbed CONSERVATIVE VeeP running mate on the “market”, and make absolutely certain neither of them misspeaks.

If he does those things with all judiciousness, and simply lets the Dems damage themselves - he will be okay - and so will we!

A.A.C.

Exactly what I wrote in an earlier thread about a fitting VP choice by McCain.

Diane...my, my is this the kind of ponder you give important issues? Just blurt out the most stupid solution that others have mentioned, but they said only in jest, of course. You make this a serious comment? How sophomoric! These candidates and their spouses are the worst mix of people who simply cannot stand each other, and you know it. This would only work if: 1) Hillary got rid of Bill so he didn't interfere with Obama. 2) Obama got rid of Michelle so she couldn't bother Hillary. And then, only if Hillary was the nominee and Obama the Veep.

Now you know, dear Diane, there is no chance on earth for those things to happen. So why even open your mouth and say something so dumb? Were you missing your name in the paper this week or something, so you made such a stupid comment?

Such a team might sound politically expedient but I don’t think it will happen. Aside from the intense personal enmity between the two, Hillary won’t play second fiddle to anybody. Also, Barack knows that if he chose her it would make all his primary campaign yapping about complete “change” and “new direction” and an end to the old Clinton-Bush cycle look like a joke.

"What would happen if Bill made a serious pass at Michelle?"

It's been common knowledge for a long time that Michelle did not want Hillary Clinton as VP. One might be that she doesn't want the possibility of somehow Bill Clinton and one of her two little girls in the same room. I mean, Michelle would have to keep an eye on Bill for the entire 8 years there in the office?
