    Will Obama pick Hillary after all?

    Obama hasn't been able to build a lead against a weak opponent that has only marginal support from his base. The summer political doldrums are upon us and the olympics are about to steal the media spotlight for the weeks leading up to the convention. HRC could seal Obamas quest to become potus and give the dems a shot at locking up the white house for 16 years. The vp choices that have been floated aren't that interesting. I predict BHO does some serious posturing and floats plenty of red herrings before he walks onto the stage of the convention and announces his VP selection. The crowd simtaneously reaches climax, BHO sells his soul to the devil and the republicans collectively **** their pants.

    Thoughts?

    I've read the idea of Senator Clinton on the ticket has passed, with no likely chance.

    Re: Will Obama pick Hillary after all?

    Let's put it this way. The Donks are likely going to die of a self-inflicted wound (again). They have a bizarre pattern of too often choosing a guy that simply can't be abided in fly-over country. Like Dana Garvey says, its almost as if they nominated an unknown named Charles Manson Hitler. And this cult of personality thing appears to be having some unintended consequences in terms of stirring up people's resentment.

    You can't win the WH by carrying CA and the NE US. That was the thing about WJC, aside from the fact he was a stupendous politician, the guy resonated with Jim Bob and Mary Sue because he had something in common with them. IOW, he didn't have to concede the hillbilly vote.

    If the DNC nominated a moderate, they probably could have walked away with this thing, just as they could have beaten W last time with someone who wasn't a senator from Massachusetts who looks like Herman Munster and who has a wierd wife from Upper Slobovia.

    I'm now of the opinion, based on JSM's feckless campaigning, if HRC had won, and chosen BHO as her VP, they probably would have won too. As it stands, nadda. 'Twer it not so, BHO would have opened up a commanding lead by now.

    Sorry, Hill-dawg, but you are not the next VP (and because Barack will have angered many religion/gun clinging enemies, will not be made the next president after the inevitable assassination attempt).

    My guess is that he will recruit a governor from an important swing state like Virginia or Indiana. Both have been listed as possibilities. New York, where Chill Hill is now listed as a resident (we all know better), will be Democratic no matter what, so Clinary Hillham Rodinton will have nothing to offer, other than baggage.

    The true Clinton haters will say that Barack would be signing his own death warrant if he chooses Hillary.

    So you agree that Obama stands for nothing. You're actually smarter than I thought you were.

    With all due respect r5, that sounds like hollow political rhetoric. Obama's positions for the most part are there if you are listening. Now you can disagree with them, but he does stand for things.

    As far as why Obama hasn't been able to pull away from a weak opponent like McCain is simple.............racism.

    Racism Has Nothing to do with it
    Brack has blown a 9 point pole lead in 2 weeks or so
    I predict he will continue the slide.

    Would you then so enlighten us o' wise one?

    The more I think about that the more it make me laugh: "he does stand for things." Things? He stands for "things" As opposed to what? Non-things?

    You mean those polls? I don't pay any attention to them, I don't think they are accurate and might even be manipulated to push a psychological perception by their results.
