Ah yes, the media will make it seem like Hillary and Obama are fighting each other tooth and nail (they won't).
Then, in an olive-branch gesture, Hillary will ask Obama to be her running mate and the media will release the doves.
With Obama at her side, Hillary will cement the black vote as well as the female vote.
She will be invincible unless the GOP can stage an equally compelling duo.

I heard that instead of Hillie going to Iowa, she told Iowa to come to her.
And Iowa went.

If Obama does join the ticket in this charade, it could be trouble. I still remember Jimmy Carter and that toothy grin of his coasting to victory over Ford because the media anointed him and didn't challenge his goofy ideas before the election. Obama is a cipher with a grin. He could be big trouble.

This is just a story to keep both of these turkeys in the news. Actually, it is also trying to change the perception of these turkeys to eagles, but IMHO this is doomed to fail.

If Obama does join the ticket in this charade, it could be trouble. Look, Hillary knows that Democrats have been losing the black vote over the last few elections. Obama can lock it up.
Hillary knows that the majority of the female vote is the key to victory. Her gender locks that up.
Someone please show me how Guiliani or McCain or anyone currently being dicussed can beat her?

She can beat herself when she starts giving speeches in that lame nasal Midwest tone of hers. She is easily beatable on that level, if the press is fair and balanced in its reporting.

And if you think the media will be fair.......

"During a routine vote yesterday morning, Obama and Clinton brushed past each other on the Senate floor. Obama winked and touched Clinton on her elbow. Without pausing, she kept walking."
His hand will fall off now.

Obama is a secret team player or he is dead.

Well, they have a lot in common, such as sweetheart land deals.
To: Mo1
Neither is qualified. But Hillary might pick him as a running mate for his speaking abilities so she can keep her big fat mouth shut so she doesn't say things like f'n Jew and plantation.
To: Sacajaweau
Yep and the two of them will be a nightmare ticket in 08
I sure as heck hope our side comes up with someone good
Because it's looking like a 1996 election
