Reply #21: Obama has earned the right to pick... [View All]

...his vice president. I can't imagine picking Hillary.

After how she's run her campaign, how could he possibly select Hillary?

It's just not going to happen.

As far as Hillary getting the "lower income, less educated white voters", she's catering to them exclusively, much
in the same way that Bush targeted Evangelicals. Some lower income earners without much education are very
impressionable and vulnerable. They are so hungry for validation and for someone to pay attention to them
and make them feel important. Before Bush came along, the Evangelicals were on the sidelines. Bush made them
feel like the center of the universe. Bush's tactics and Hillary's tactics are very similar.

Also, I had heard before that the Senate would be clearly on Obama's side, and that the environment wouldn't
exactly be ideal for Hillary. It's obvious that she won't return to the Senate with the same power and leverage.
Most of her leverage came from the thought that she would be President. Now, she lacks that--and they way she
behaves in the political world, no doubt, has left her with few friends.

This is troubling--because as the campaign moves forward, she's more like a cornered animal. We're more likely
to see self-centered, irrational behavior.

She might want the veep slot, but that's too damn bad. She doesn't get to decide. Stalwarts in the Dem party-and
all of his supporters--will clearly back him on that decision. Just because Hillary wants the vp slot--because she's
burned bridged in the Senate--doesn't mean she's entitled to it.

Then again...when she thinks she's entitled to something, we all know that breeds a buffet of crazy making from
Clinton.

I can't wait until this nightmare is finished.
