I found this the most interesting:

"This resentment is reflected in a private nationwide poll conducted this month by McLaughlin and Associates, which usually works for Republicans but is not connected with the McCain campaign. Poll-taker John McLaughlin found that John McCain had a 49 percent to 38 percent edge over Obama among all women. That is an extraordinary result, running counter to a longtime Democratic advantage."

All right. I admit it. I simply don't get this talk of Hitlery as Osamabama's VP.

First, operating on the seemingly universal assumption that Hitlery will stick at virtually nothing to get into the White House as President, why the devil would she take the VP slot?

She has ONE, count 'em ONE, more chance at the WH, and that's in 2012. By 2016, she'll be too old (and look it) to be electable, even by the moonbat crowd.

If Hitlery takes the VP slot, and Osamabama wins (ghastly thought!), she will have to run in 2012 as a sitting VP against a sitting president. This has happened ONCE in US history, in 1940 when Nance Garner, disliking strongly Roosevelt's intended violation of the Washington two-term tradition, ran against him.

And got smoked, utterly smoked.

If Hitlery takes the VP slot, and Osamabama loses, she's damaged goods, a la Silky Pony Edwards. Very bad news for 2012.

Hitlery's only legitimate shot (well, if one can use the term 'legitimate' in the same sentence with 'Hitlery'...) is to sit out 2008, give lip service support to Osamabama, and work behind the scenes (which is the one thing she's competent at) to sabotage the Messiah's campaign. If he wins, she's toast in 2012 and knows it.

So, WTF is all this rubbish about Hitlery as VP? The only way it makes ANY sense at all is if she plans to have him assassinated after the election.

Now, while I shouldn't for a moment put this idea past her, it seems at best a VERY long shot with a great bunch of limbs in the way.

What am I missing out here? Or, have I got this spot on?

I asked one Democrat, a longtime political worker and sometime candidate for public office, whether he actually would vote for Obama. He paused, then replied: "Let me put it this way. I would sleep better if John McCain was president."

That pretty much says it all.

During a conference call between Clinton and other New York members of Congress, Rep. Nydia Velazquez suggested that only an Obama-Clinton ticket could secure the Hispanic vote. "I am open to it," Clinton replied, according to several sources.

What is she supposed to say, "Hell no?" If she is convinced that Obama can't win, and she's made it clear she is, then the last thing she will do is tie herself to a losing cause. But she can't come out and say that. Obama won't offer it to her, and she won't ask for it, and it'll remain like that.
