Yeah, right. It doesn't take much for them to be afraid, does it? Gephardt for Labor Secretary, maybe. But Veep? I don't see it. Sucking up to labor is not an Obama weak point.
The Dems can afford to toy with Republican minds.
They know the Obamasiah, his racist wife and their two daughters would have to be caught on film assembling Palestinian bomb belts and Iraqi IEDs to give McEgo the slightest chance of winning the election.
As far as the Dem VP - Obama could pick Robert Mugabe and still whip McEgo like a rented mule.
If the Pubbies in power really wanted a chance to win the election they would convince McEgo to have a medical crisis and decline the nomination for health reasons.
