Obama's Massive Headfake: Hillary for VP? | The Next Right

Now that would surprise everybody, wouldn't it?

I think that is exactly what he needs to do to win this election. Too many of her supporters, and Reagan Dems, just WILL NOT vote for him. With Hill on the ticket, that might change their minds.

Maybe that's why he decided to give her a floor vote?

Everytime I say I would not be surprised if it is Hillary I get told I am crazy. I am with the author and I think Obama said something this week that is very interesting.
He said he was not worried about unity coming out of the convention but more concerned about energy and giving her a platform would help with that energy level. Naming her prior to going into the convention would be that energy level plus.

I think Hilary is Obama's only "real" choice. I think that may guarantee him the White House. Personally I don't like Hilary either but she's sure better to me than Kerry!

There is a far better chance of Obama picking McCain as a running mate. The last thing in the world he would want as president, is to have Bill in the next bedroom running the country. With the felonious Clinton's back in the WH, BO would be totally insignificant. Mr O would be in for a four year vacation...
Not to worry, Big O will just be another senator after November....

Bill Clinton is not interested in the White House,
he has his foundation that keeps him busy.
Obama though, does not have the balls to pick her, he is too afraid she would over shadow him.
Every poll shows with her on the ticket, it would be a sure win, too bad he is not smart enough to see it.

and a wingnut like yourself would care because....?

Perhaps you should be more concerned about the divided GOp and the Ron Paul show happening at the same time.

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart « - Blogs from CNN.com
The July number includes donations to the DNC proper; the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising endeavor between the DNC and the Obama campaign; and the Democratic White House Victory Fund,

How many of you knew there was a joint fundraising campaign between the three? Don't assume that the desire for energy and his desire for someone who was ready for the job and accepted in that capacity would not partner with Hillary.

Look at the fundraising numbers for July. Obama almost doubled McCain and the DNC out fund raised the RNC. Now how divided is this party? If they still have to get their act together what will it be like after the convention?
