Women who supported Hillary Clinton are suddenly the belles of the ball. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are getting ready to woo her supporters-but John McCain wants them too. Polls suggest Obama leads McCain when it comes to women, but what if McCain picked a woman as his V.P.?
IMO, John McCain needs to have a white female VP on the ticket if he is to have any chance of winning the White House. The door is still open for an Obama-Clinton ticket and I believe that the possibility of that ticket is becoming increasingly popular with politicos as time goes by and the conventions are upon us. This is the year of the Black man, it is also the year of the woman, a 71 year old white guy is not going to have a chance at the Presidency without a white woman on the ticket with him. Having a Black woman on the ticket would be viewed as blatant racism to neutralize the candidacy of Barack Obama.

Even Condi Rice who is very accomplished in her own? Wouldn't that be racism to reject her because she is Black?
Condo Rice would not be an acceptable VP choice as she is a throwback to the Bush administration, not because she is a Black woman. Any woman of color in the VP slot would be viewed as an attempt to compete with Barack Obama on the basis of race. The Hillary Clinton supporters are not going to vote for John McCain no matter what they say at the present time, come November, the Clinton supporters will be voting for Obama on the order significantly above 50%!

viewed as "racism"? Only a Democrat can call a Republican nomination of a minority "racism" and totally miss the irony in it..

Unfortunately you are right. Sometimes I wonder if Obama is going to be done in more by supporters and the left wing of the party then by Rove and his right field hit squad.
It may help in the short term, but by the time Nov 4th comes the voters will yawn and vote for someone else.
Bar none. It's Bob Barr for president 08
Bob Barr may very well cost McCain the election! He's akin to a Democratic Nader in the role of spoiler!
