Remember that Bush41 used the term "Voodoo Economics"
describing Reagan's economic policies and ended up Ronnie's VP. Are we going to see the same thing in the Democratic party this year? Obama/Clinton ticket? Do you think that this is what Hillary is fishing for?
I'd rather see Hillary as Veep than say Senate Majority Leader if Obama has to offer her something to unify the party. I'd hope that we can get a real Progressive SML (sorry Harry Reid you ain't cutting it) after we solidify our majority and get a Dem President.
1. politicians kiss and make up no matter how contentious the history...
it happens ALL the time. That would not be an impediment to an Obama/Clinton ticket. There may be other issues that would make such a ticket difficult or impossible, but that is not one of them.
2. But he didn't say Reagan was a voodoo worshiper, and practised human sacrifice, though
Obama will offer her 11 million to unify the party.
He has the extra dough that can only be used for the primary, and she's deep in primary debt.
Better to keep it nice and clean. That way he will get what he pays for.
By the way, do you ever wonder about your political analytical abilities? Do you ever ask yourself if they are pretty good or maybe if they aren't really that good?
I bet Penn and Wulfsen don't. I bet they don't have a clue into their own limitations.
4. I'd heard about paying off her campaign debts...
I didn't know it'd come from the primary money. Which answers your second question. Yes do wonder about my political analytical abilities. That's why I ask questions and analyze the answers I get.
3. The only plus that having Hillary as VP would be the Cheney factor
As I said before, it would help assure Obama's safety. Some right wing nut job is much less likely to take Obama out, if they know he would be replaced by Hillary.
Where he postulated that if he was ever elected the first black President he'd pick a Mexican as his running mate. "If you shoot me, Vice President Santiago will open the borders". :)
