I think you are wrong on many accounts, he will not be picked as VP. His islamic upbringing make him unelectable in the US. His wacky leftist foreign policy on top of his up bringing (since when has Iran and Syria been the friend of the US or is it just Obama as we learned tonight, no nukes etc)will make him a possible Trojan horse in the minds of the blogs and talk radio.
And while you might break one taboo this election of the 200+ years white men have held the office, doubtful, do you really think you can break 2 in the same election year on the same ticket. No way you can win that type of trust with anti-American types. Now if the Republicans had run Kirkpactrick(sp) and Powell...
That is my thinking also, yet cannot trust mob rule.
“His islamic upbringing make him unelectable in the US”
Makes sense to use here, but not the P.C. looney left. His name is Obama and sounds like Osama and it hasn’t hurt him yet.
That is veiled Godfather reference. The "smart" move is not necessarily the winning move. Tessio chose to side with Barzini not the the Corleones to the demise of both Tessio and Barzini, but as Tom Hagen said it was the smart move. Ultimately, I do not believe Hillary or Obama will achieve elected office in 08, but Hillary is running a very smart campaign. When I see Hillary I see someone who looted Lincoln Savings and Loan, and basically got Webb Hubbell to do the time for her crime. But despite all that baggage, those FBI files have kept candidates from appropriately questioning her character. In the general election, she will be Swiftboated on her criminal past.
