Could-I have to admit, being VP would eliminate all the questions about his experience.
But I so don't want Hillary to win the nomination. I just don't trust her.

I think Clinton/Obama would be a good ticket, but he said in an interview I read that he wouldn't accept an invitation to be anyone's VP.

Agreed, agreed, agreed.
But still!
I think I find it easier to hope for delayed gratification. I am so used to having to wait for the rest of the world to realize that I was right from the start.

That's what I've been thinking... I'm wagering that possibly smear campaigns on both sides were engineered to be only semi-bad so that either party would still be respectable as a VP.

After the disastrous 4-8 years that would be a Hillary term, Obama wouldn't be allowed anywhere near the White House were he in any way involved. Just ask Colin Powell.

I think if it was Edwards and not Clinton this might have worked, but I don't think he can stand her. He would accept the VP nom from someone he respected, but i don't think he respects her.

And she would probably beat the hope and change out of him in 8 years. He'd be a shell of a man.

Honestly, the only good thing I can think that would come out of this would be that Obama would be seated to take over when the Republican's start their impeachment proceedings on day 1 of the Hillary White House.

But don't you think the Republicans have been a bit neutered in Congress? And in general? Can they really muster another Clinton lynching?
Chrome Raven said, (309 days ago)
Clinton lynching is all those people live for. I don't think it matters to them if they can actually do it or not...they're going to.
soulcamp said, (309 days ago)
Right. Also, I'm not to sure that Congress is all that safe from Republican control again. The current line up of democratic leaders has done a pretty good job of neutering themselves.

My good friend BarackObama.com just emailed me with this message:
Our projections show the most likely outcome of yesterday's elections will be that Hillary Clinton gained 187 delegates, and we gained 183.
That's a net gain of 4 delegates out of more than 370 delegates available from all the states that voted.
For comparison, that's less than half our net gain of 9 delegates from the District of Columbia alone. It's also less than our net gain of 8 from Nebraska, or 12 from Washington State. And it's considerably less than our net gain of 33 delegates from Georgia.
The task for the Clinton campaign yesterday was clear. In order to have a plausible path to the nomination, they needed to score huge delegate victories and cut into our lead.
They failed.
It's clear, though, that Senator Clinton wants to continue an increasingly desperate, increasingly negative -- and increasingly expensive -- campaign to tear us down.
That's her decision. But it's not stopping John McCain, who clinched the Republican nomination last night, from going on the offensive. He's already made news attacking Barack, and that will only become more frequent in the coming days.
Right now, it's essential for every single supporter of Barack Obama to step up and help fight this two-front battle. In the face of attacks from Hillary Clinton and John McCain, we need to be ready to take them on.

i love me some barack, but the bearded revolution will stop for no one. unless one has a beard.

Didn't Hillary say in an interview after the OH and TX primaries that it may be smart of them to join forces? Then she proceeded to say that she, of course, should be the top biller.
Something about that woman just rubs me the wrong way.
Yeah it's too bad they hate each other now
