Other than confidently stating that Hillary WILL give the veep spot to Obama and that Obama WILL accept, Mort really doesn’t go into detail as to just why the dems won’t come apart.
I will admit it would be a piece with decades of conditioned obedience. Bill & Hill kicked their sacred minorities (feminists, gays, unions, blacks) in the teeth numerous times during their years in power (Monica, gays-in-the-military, NAFTA, Welfare Reform) and always, after some bucking and snorting they came crawling back to lick “massa’s” boots, but there’s a first time for everything and I really can’t see blacks turning out in significant numbers for Mizz Hillary even if she has Obama as her lawn jockey going into the general.
Now, if she moves up to #1 and if she again extends an offer to Obama, and if he actually accepts it, I would be amazed -- because Bill would be #2 in the regime. Obama would be the boy sent out for coffee and pastries when the big meetings come around. Obama knows that.
Still, because politicians have no shame, I giess Obama might accept it. But I think the GOP might have some fun with the concept.
