Geeez I had forgotten about that. Wow I wonder if all these naysayers had forgotten like me. Thanks for bringing it up. Now I know why educated people do so well they can analyze. Good for you and a rep point to boot. My comments are all intended to be positive to this poster and are not meant to be a reflection on any other individual or group.

If Hillary were VP he might still have a chance to win. If he takes Hillary with him then I will have to say that he is a very smart politician.
His baggage isn't serious - just sensational hype as the voters proved with NC and his almost tying with Hillary when they thought she would win Indiana by larger votes. She needs him much more than he needs her. She is not likeable because of her self--righteous attitude and her chameleon-like changes on issues. Many people would not vote for Obama if she was on the ticket with him and vice versa. He has many other fine potential VPs to choose from.

I agree with your comment about her not being likeable. I tried to listen to her but she spent more time telling me why I shouldn't vote for him instead of why I should vote for her...so I changed the station to hear what he was saying
