The Obama/Clintoon ticket will be harder to beat than any other person he might pick.

I can't think of anyone McCain can pick who would have as much voter appeal as Hitlery does for the dims.

Hilleary? Blech.... Though we were rid of her. This is the worst election year I can remember in my life and I thought 2000 was bad.

Young supporters of Obama hate Hillary, and Michelle is known to really loathe the former first lady. Obama is mentioning Hillary in public just to try and appease her and her blue collar and female supporters. I think he’s going to pick Daschle or Biden. On a side note, I think McCain is down to 4 possibilties for his own choice:

Palin
Romney
Portman
Ridge

I’m a big Palin fan who could support Romney or Ridge but am neutral on Portman.

Actually one could argue that that would be why McCain would pick Hillary!™ for a running mate.

He wants someone who will make him look like a moderate
Someone who will appeal to women voters
Someone who can steal democrat votes from Obama
He wants to be bi-partisain, and "reach across the Aisle
