The split between the two camps has always spelled trouble to whomever gets the nomination. And while it would make sense to have Hillary on the ticket as VP given the hate between Barry O and she I just don't see it happening.

Your thoughts.

If Obama is POTUS and Hillary is VPOTUS during an international crisis, she would not be able to keep her mouth shut, and would be in his face arguing and throwning lamps ad nauseum.

And according to all accounts, Michelle hates Hillary’s guts. We all know what that means - no Obama/Clinton 2008!

I am hoping House of Klinton will fall and fall on top of their heads.

Middle America will not elect a black neo-Marxist. Paul Begala had it right, there aren’t enough “eggheads and African-Americans”.

If she had stepped down gracefully, MAYBE it would have been offered..but there's too much water under the bridge. And way, way, way too much drama. I can't tell you how many of my Dem friends have said that they're so disgusted that this year they'll vote for McCain.

Why would Barry want those two looking over his shoulder, sucking all the air out? And I just can't see her taking second fiddle. I bet they offer her a Supreme Court seat if she gets out fast. They'll also probably tell her that if she doesn't step down, her influence in the Dem party will be gone forever.

The MSM is doing their best to say the Obama is going to be President so get used to it. It will so sweet to hear them call the majority Americans racists and stupid because their Messiah was soundly defeated in November. What will be even more satisfying will all the treats we will hear about DUmmies moving out of the country.

It may be that one way to party unity would be for Obama to pick Clinton for his VP, but I don’t see it happening. She’d be second fiddle, and she’s had her sights set on first chair lo, these many years, putting up with her hubby’s shenanigans to use him and his name to that end. Plus, the problem arises of what to do with Bill.

"And while it would make sense to have Hillary on the ticket as VP given the hate between Barry O and she I just don't see it happening."

JFK and Lyndon Johnson supposedly disliked each other intensely, and yet they came together to make a winning ticket. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF CLINTON. Sounds like it could be an Edgar Allen Poe story.

No way Obomba picks Hitlary for VP. The odds are immense that Hitlary would shortly be President and Obomba would be in Ft. Marcy Park.

Like it or not, you’re not going to see a ticket without a white man on it. Whether you like it or not - them’s the facts, folks...SSZ

Whether Obama would pick Hillary as VP is irrelevant. Whether Hillary’s supporters would vote for Obama/Clinton is relevent and that is not a sure thing.

Obama is not dumb enough to have the Clintons on as VP to him nor does he fancy a foreshortened presidency.

the whitest, oldest and most rural electorates in America

The subtle under-current in this statement, repeated over and over in the liberal media, is the liberal journalists' relief that these people are old and will soon be dead and we won't have to put up with these racist, conservative Bible thumpers any more.

Obama magically unstained by grime of Chicago Way

John Kass

May 11, 2008

Will Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy serve his state and city by finally drawing national attention to the sleazy and corrupt politics of Illinois and Chicago?

It is all about context. The presumptive Democratic presidential candidate’s politics were born in Chicago. Yet he is presented to the nation as not truly being of this place, as if he floats just above the political corruption here, uninfected, untouched by the stain of it or by any sin of commission or omission. It is all so very mystical.

Perhaps viewing Obama as a Chicago political creature would conflict with the established national media narrative of Obama as a reformer. Actually, there’s no “perhaps” about it.

“I think I have done a good job in rising politically in this environment without being entangled in some of the traditional problems of Chicago politics,” Obama told reporters and editors at a Tribune editorial board meeting several weeks ago.

Yes, an excellent job. Except for his dalliance with his indicted real estate fairy, Tony Rezko, a relationship Obama considers a mistake, the senator has not played the fly to Mayor Richard Daley’s spider. Almost, but not quite.
