As for why would she take the VP slot, two reasons come to mind:

1. To my knowledge no VP to date has been female, thus she would get to make history as the first woman to serve as VP.

2. Should Obama have to resign for some reason (what’s that video tape you have there Senator Clinton?) she’ll be in postion to be the first woman to serve as President. That also makes history.

But Clinton isn’t the one I’m really worried about. It is my understanding that the convention can nominate anyone they choose for the ticket, not just candidates that ran campaigns. With the state of the Democrat party and the weakness of both the remaining candidates I fear the superdelegates might settle on someone other than Clinton or Obama in an effort to pacify the candidate loyalists of both sides. There is only one Democrat I can think of that could possibly sweep into the convention and be nominated with any real chance of succeeding in November: Al Gore.

Gore already has the grassroots organization needed to win an election in position with his global warming alarmists, with the righteous indignation factor for having had the presidency “stolen” from him in 2000, and a freshness from not running for president for the better part of the last two years. I think the real threat is waiting for the superdelegates to call on him to come save the day.

There’s a reason they’re setting up those holding pens in Denver, it’s not for if the humanoids get restless, it’s for when the left goes nuts when the convention throws the nom to Hillary.

I just have a feeling that alot of those super delegates are starting to realize what more and more of the public is becomming aware of every day: Obama just can’t hack it.

Now look what you’ve done. It’s going to take an entire roll of paper towels to clean this mess up.

Dude, I’m thinking as long as Lieberman is under serious consideration by McCain, we need to go all the way. Liebs is a flaming lib on everything other than the war, so if the GOP is ok with that, then they should consider McCain needs a women or an African American to round out his ticket even more. So, if liberal democrat is ok, let’s see if AL Sharpton will put his name up in lights with Backdoor John.

and the world will unite until they find Obama face down in his bathtub some morning.

With the Rose Law firm billing records swirling around his head?

That was good.

The only way the fanciful scenario can be played out is for Barry to go back on his word to all the people he’s suckered in to joining up the Be The First To Know.

He has to name is pick before the convention. And there’s no way Hillary can have her Clinton night at the Convention is she’s the already-known VP selection. She’d completely upstage him.

Not happening.

Which is what makes this so exciting!

…power hungry globalist with worldwide ‘ambassador’ appeal who can offer the all important talking points of (perceived) ‘gravitas’ & ‘experience’ to the obamanator’s corner, and the obamantor brings his pre-ordained DNC, youthful messiahship & charismatic zeal to that ticket, plus the all important hundreds of millions of campaign dollars…

1. There is way too much bad blood between the two camps and many in both of those camps would take this as either a “betrayal” or a “sell out”.

2. Hillary is not going to play second fiddle to Barak. Not only that she knows he is a disaster in the making and when his shite hits the fan she would rather be on the sidelines saying “I told you so.”.

3. It really wouldn’t get them anything, really. At this point in the game Obama stinks as much as Hillary does.

4. And the most important point…

Hillary was offered the VP spot (or any other position she desired)in that meeting that her and Obama had at Diane Feinstein’s house back in June. She replied with a very terse “thanks but no thanks” with the implied meaning of “stick it where the sun don’t shine, buddy”. Her attitude was described to me by someone who knows what happened there as “it ain’t over”. Why would she now accept the VP slot from Obama now when she is in a position of advantage? She would gain nothing from it and perhaps lose a great deal. This is now about much more then the nomination, this is now about who controls the party.
