I remember back in '84 how Mondale was going to energize the woman's vote by selecting the renowned Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. She turned out to be such a sharpie that she can't even get a 30-minute slot on the networks.
Even Democrats know is when someone is just being hyped in order to sell newsprint.

Yep...Patently obvious what is happening. Obama is a warm up act. The Obama Phenomema is old fashioned ward politics writ large. He may be a VP pick ( But I doubt it) Essentially Obama he is the Democrats JC Watts. While Watts and Obama are ideological mirror images, Like Watts, he is bright articulate and engaging. But like Watts he doesn't have a shot at real insider power.
